first being duly sworn, Says, that some time
about the year One Thousand eight hundred and forty two being then a resident of the Town of Beaufort in the State of South Carolina, She was permitted to examine the Book of the Episcopal Church of the said
Town, in which was Registered the Marriages, births, Baptisms, and deaths of the inhabitants of the said Town, and its vicinity from a remote period. From which book deponent then copied therefrom with her own hand on a half sheet of fools cap paper, which is now before her, besides many others, the following entries,
Word for Word, letter for letter, to Wit, "Mary Cook the daughter of John and Hannah Cook born November 28th 1758 - Married to Abraham Anthony May 15th 1779 by Revd Bishop Smith, Charles Powel Anthony son
of Abraham and Mary of Beaufort So. Carolina born 28th of July 1780. Baptized Decr 17th 1784. Stephen Anthony Son of Abraham and Mary Anthony born 28 Feby. 1785." Deponent further says, that the said Book was old and

understood and believed at the time.
