Mathew Wamsly, a resident in the County and State aforesaid personally appeared before me Squire Bosworth, a Justice of the peace in & for the County aforesaid and being first duly sworn according to law deposeth as follows

1.  That he is seventy five years of age past as appears from the family records
2.  That his brother Thomas Wamsley who if he had lived til the present time would been upwards of ninety years of age
3.  That his said brother Thomas was at the battle at the Point on the Ohio River which was about the commencement of the Revolutionary War.  It is my impression that he was enlisted for a time of 3 of five years.  Has frequently heard his brother say he was in several other scrimages.  This deponent states that his knowledge of the services of his said brother is derived from the fact of his leaving home to go into service & being gone for a considerable time.  I think ?? a man by the name of Lovelace was the commandant at the battle of the Point and was captain of a company.  This deponent well recollects of his said brother coming home upon furlow soon after the battle of the Point.  That a commendation is impressed upon his record from a ??.  That the family had heard that he was ?? on the battle.
4.  That his said brother Thomas married to Comfort England who is his present widow before the Revolutionary war was concluded.  Does not recollect seeing them married nor the time but recollects of them coming to his father's after they were married.  The reason why this deponent ?? of the facts  that his said brother Thomas was married to his present widow before the
Page 3

Termination of War and the services performed by him were ended is That This deponent well recollects That, during his services he came home to see his family & That his brother William went in his place for a time and That afterward his brother Thomas returned to the army. upon reflection This deponent does not recollect whether his brother Thomas returned to the army after his brother William Went in his place or not. at the time these transactions occurred this deponent was very young & cannot give dates. This deponent does not recollect how long his said brother Thomas was in the service & further his deponent sayeth not
