I, John Weld of Cornish in the County of Sullivan, State of New Hampshire depose and say that I have been well acquainted with Deacon Josiah Stone formerly of Brookfield Massachusetts but now of Cornish in said county ever since he was ten years of age. I have seen the Declaration this day made by him before the Hon. Frederick A. Sumner Judge of Probate for said county in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of June 7th, 1832 and do verily believe the same to be true: I was in the services with him at Cambridge in 1775 and there saw him in service and conversation with him and understood he was engaged for eight months. I assisted him in removing from Brookfield to Cornish and served with him for the ct space of two months in Captain Russell's company of Col. Chase;s Regiment at Haverhill as by him stated in the autumn of 1776.
