Page 4

I Daniel Davis of Wiscasset, in the County of Lincoln State of Maine aged thirty one years on oath depose and say that I am Grandson of Moses Davis Esquire late of Edgecomb in said County and have, in my possession the papers of said Moses Davis, and know them to be in his hand writing, having often seen him write.
In a paper book purporting to contain the Record of the marriages [ulmmired] by said Moses Davis Esq in his life time, I find the following certified a entry "August 16th 1780 then married Daniel Leeman of Edgecomb and Martha Gray of Pownalborough." 
The foregoing is a true copy and the figures are plain and legible in the [date] and of written out at length would read thus- August sixteenth, seventeen hundred and sixty.
