Boston, June 9, 1837
I, Louisa Drake, of Boston, in the county of 
Suffolk & Commonwealth of Massachusetts, wife of
Samuel G. Drake, who is the Grandson of Rev.
John Tuck, do upon oath say that the original
Ecclesiastical Records of the Parish in Epsom in 
the State of New Hampshire over which the said
John Tuck was Pastor are now in the custody &
possession of my husband & have been for the past
four years; that the said Records have the 
appearance of being genuine & are believed by me to 
be genuine & that the following entry in the
handwriting of the said John Tuck is found, viz.
"1773, March 4th. Isaac Knowles & Prudence 
Locke were joined in marriage."

I have reason to believe that these records are
authentic from the fact that they were given
to my husband by his father, now deceased,
Page 13

who received them after the death of the
said John Tuck, & retained them in his possession
until his own death when they came into the
possession of my husband, the said Samuel G.
Drake.
