That he continued to serve in the said corps until the year 1780 when he was discharged from the said service in
in the state of Massachusetts that his original declaration was dated on the 31 st day of May 1818 that he has received a pension certificate, given at the War Office of the United States on the 7 th day of February 1820 which said certificate is numbered 16453 And in pursuance of the act of the 1st May, 1820, I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States, on the 18th day of March, one thousand eight hundred and eighteen, and that I have not, since that time, by gift, sale, or in any manner, disposed of my property, or any part thereof, with intent thereby so to diminish it as to bring myself within the provisions of an act of Congress, entitled "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States, in the Revolutionary War," passed on the 18th day of March, one thousand eight hundred and eighteen; and that I have not, nor has any person, in trust for me, any property or securities, contracts, or debts, due to me; nor have I any income other than what is contained in the schedule hereto by me subscribed. I further
declare that I have a wife and six children living; the children are all of such an age that they are capable of maintaining themselves. I am considerably disabled from having the joint of my right Wrist dislocated which was never properly put in its place, which had occasioned a considerable decay and loss of strength in my right and right hands. I am debilitated by the bodily infirmities of old age and from these causes combined I am unable to support myself by labour; I am by occupation a labourer. I lost a handsome little property I owned about ten years ago by giving security for another man which brought me to poverty and has reluctantly compelled me to ask assistance from my country for support.
