James Woods in the line of the State of Virginia on the Continental Establishment and continued to serve in the sd Corps until sometime in May 1779, when he was discharged in consequence of receiving a wound in the town of Winchester (his pay records say Jersey at Short Hills) of the State of Virginia. That he hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to pension except the present, that his name is not on the pension rolls of any state except the one transmitted, which is in your files. And the following are the reasons for not making an earlier application for a pension. My first declaration was prepared by Gen. Andrew S. Hughes, attorney at law; when they were returned to me he handed them to me and told me that my claim was not allowed and I being old and ignorant never made further application until now. My occupation is that of farmer, but am unable to follow it. My wife was 62 yrs old last Dec. I have one son and his wife living with me; his name is Garrett, aged 22; his wife 20. Neither myself not my wife have been able to support ourselves by labor for many years past, and I am much indebted for necessities to support on. And what little property I have will be sacrificed to pay my debts, and will not pay half of it. My property consists of one mare (23 yrs old) $5.00, nine head of cattle $35, one plow, 2 pair of geese, ax $950, three bedsteads and bedding $36, household and kitchen furniture $20.00, eleven head of sheep $5.50, twelve goats, one sow $8.00. Total amount $119.00. Paraphrasing the next paragraph - legalese for "he has not disposed of any property in order to obtain the pension". The court found his testimony to be true and affixed their opinion to his application.
