Personally appeared before me the
subscriber a Justice of the Peace in and
for said County Henry Northup who
being duly sworn saith that being in Flemmingsburgh Ky in
the month of September 1826 at which time the Circuit Court was
there in Session. That two of the Brothers of Nathan or Nathaniel
Williams a Capt of the Maryland line of the Revolution [illegible]
said place and being then in town he the said deponent was
informed by them that there Brother Nathan died intestate and without 
having issue and that his oldest Brother and heir at
law was Zadock who was killed in that neighborhood by the
Indians forty years ago or more leaving the five children
(Viz) Prudince. Henrietta Robert Zadock and Nathaniel that the
deponent prepared the necessary form of Record and the
two Brothers (to wit) Robert and Jarrett went into court and
swore to it when the Record was made from which the
certificate of Heirship now at Washington City is a copy
that In June last when taking a power of attorney from
Zadock Williams (who was then at Work at the Laumlaw of
Eign Thompson being a stonemason and ten or fifteen 
miles from his home and residence) where about to sign
stated that his name was Zedekiah and that of his father
also - but that they were allways [always] called for Brevity Zedek or
Zadock - that the record thus made at Flemmingsburg
of heirship in which the name Zadock is written has been 
solely an error of him deponent taking it for granted
that when they called the name Zedok that it was Zadock -
and not dreaming of it being Zedekiah untill [until] so informed
by [illegible] Williams at the time of executing his power of attorney
and further he saith not -
