I John Southmayd of Campton in the County of Grafton &
State of New Hampshire testify & say that Uriah Fox
formerly of said Campton now of Stanstead in the Province
of Lower Canada was living with me at said Campton 
in the year 1777. That in the month of August of that
year he left said Compton for Bennington, Vermont in
the Company of Captain Edmond Elliott - said Fox returned
to said Compton sometime in the fall of said year
 - after that I think in the year 1779 said Fox as I was
informed enlisted into the army of the revolution for the
term of one year to serve in the Company of Captain
Cloise - the name of the Colonel of the Regiment which said
Fox was to join the army and as I was informed did serve
in the army until he was regularly discharged - 
That said Fox left said Campton & was absent about the
space of one year as was said for the express purpose of
serving in the army. I know & have not the least doubt
but that he did serve the full term of one year - 
John Southmayd

I certify the foregoing affidavit was subscribed and
sworn to before me this twenty sixth day of December 1833 by
