I do hereby certify that Jacob Gilbert, the other witness, is a reputable citizen of the said county of Montgomery and that his description of the services of Joseph Linebauch may be relied on with safety, that he was in the Revolutionary service himself, but his situation in life renders it unnecessary for him to apply for aid.

Notwithstanding Joseph Linebauch served several years aforesaid in the revolutionary war in the southern department he can procure no testimony to that service, other than his own affidavit.   This affidavit, if collateral testimony is inserted upon many will be prevented from obtaining benefit of the law.  The passage of time having (illegible) from ...ation the greatest part of those who could support such claim.
