if you can't read cursive maybe don't try transcribing documents entirely handwritten in cursive

JUST SAYING

my revised version

on his oath Declare that he served in the Revolutionary War as following that (he) Listed under Capt. Alexander Bravard in Colonel Archibald Lytles Regiment [four words crossed out] it being the 4th North Carolina Regiment and his Original Certificate is dated the 21st day of December 1818 and numbered 4..994.

we are not supposed to correct typos in-line (brackets afterwards is fine) or do too much editorializing but I just cannot imagine assuming that a court document is gibberish on purpose
