I Daniel Ball of lawful age testify and say
that on the second day of December in the year
1823. I purchased of Mr Ebenezer Currier
of Chester Rockingham County New Hampshire
about fifty acres of pine land situate in Chester
aforesaid for the sum of two hundred dollars.
On the same day Mr. Currier executed to me
a deed of said land and I gave to John Bell
Esquire of said Chester my note for the sum of
forty eight dollars and twenty three cents in full
satisfaction of a note held by said Bell
against said Currier which was then given
up by said Bell to said Currier. The note I
then gave to said Bell I have since paid and
discharged. On the same day first above
mentioned I paid to Mr. Rufus Wilson of said
Chester two notes given by said Currier to said
Wilson both dated November 29th 1823 one for
twelve dollars fifty cents and the other for nine
dollars seventy six cents and for the balance of
said sum of two hundred dollars I gave to
said Currier my two promissory notes one for
the sum of seventy dollars and the other for the
sum of about sixty dollars both of which notes
I have since paid at the request of said Currier
in the following manner namely on the second
day of December 1823. I paid to Samuel Aikin
Junior Esquire two notes of hand which he then
held against said Currier amounting to the
sum of nineteen dollars five cents by giving
my note to said Aikin for the same which I have
since paid, On the ninth day of March 1824
I paid to Mr Samuel Hazelton Collector of taxes
of the town of Chester the tax assessed on said
Currier in the year 1823 amounting to five
dollars forty three cents. On the sixth day of
Page 13

December 1823 I paid to John Porter Esquire
Attorney at Law the sum of two dollars being
the cost of an action commenced by him at the
suit of Rufus Wilson against said Currier, About
the first day of April 1824 I paid Noah Burnham
of said Chester eighteen dollars Seventy eight
cents in full of a note held by said Burnham
against said Currier dated November 25th 1823
for the sum of eighteen dollars thirty seven cents
About the same time I paid to Mr Jeremiah Brown
his account against Mr Currier amounting to
two dollars forty cents and to Mr Josiah Hall
Junior of said Chester the sum of two dollars eighty
four cents in full of a note he held against
said Currier dated March 17th 1821 for two dollars
and forty cents and interest. On the last day of
August 1824. I paid to Samuel Aikin Junior
Esq. the sum of nineteen dollars three cents in
full of a book account which said Currier owed
him and to Doctor Rufus Kittridge the sum of
nine dollars thirty three cents in payment of
his account against said said Currier for his services as a physician.
On or about the first day of September 1824. I paid to
Ebenezer G. Wason of said Chester nine dollars
seventy eight cents in full of a note he held
against said Currier and to Ebenezer Currier
Junior the sum of fifteen dollars and thirty
five cents in part of his account against
said Currier and at several times I have
paid to said Ebenezer Currier the sum of
twenty four dollars sixty five cents in Cash
labor and provisions.-
I personally know that for several months
previous to my purchasing the land above
mentioned. Mr Currier had been anxiously
endeavouring to sell the same and I believe
Page 14

that the same was sold to me for as high a
price as any body would have given or would
now give for the same. Mr. Ebenezer Currier
lives in my neighborhood and I am well
acquainted with him I consider him a man
of infirm health and able to perform but
a small portion of hard labor.

On the fifteenth day of
January A.D. 1825 at Chester in said County
before me Samuel Dana Bell Esquire a
Notary Publick throughout said State and
Justice of Peace for said County of Rockingham
personally appeared the above
Daniel Ball and made solemn
oath that the above affidavit by him
Subscribed is true.-

In witness whereof I have
hereunto subscribed my name
and affixed my notarial Seal
the day and year aforesaid.

Page 15

I Samuel Remick of lawful age testify and say
that for fifteen or sixteen years past I have
been well acquainted with the land lately owned
and occupied by Mr Ebenezer Currier of Chester
an applicant to be restored to the Revolutionary
Pension List of the United States.  Said land
is about fifty acres of poor pine plain land
wholly insufficient with the utmost industry
and economy to afford even a scanty subsistence
to a small family.--I have understood that
Mr. Currier sold said land to Mr. Daniel Ball
for the sum of two hundred dollars and I am
decidedly of opinion that said land was then
sold for more money than it was worth and that 
the same could not now be sold for a greater
amount than Mr Currier received.--
I further say that in the month of August
1824 Mr. Currier was indebted to me in the
sum of about six dollars twenty seven cents
due me for money lent by me to said Currier
on his note dated November 14th 1823 for the
sum of six dollars and interest which sum afore
mentioned Mr. Currier then paid me in full.
Said note was given to me by Mr Currier on
settlement of a note for money lent dated January
25th 1822 for the sum of twenty dollars
and interest which sum excepting the sum of
six dollars paid me in May 1822 was paid
me by Mr. Currier sometime since the summer
of the year 1822 so as to have the above sum
of six dollars for which said Currier gave me
the first note above mentioned. Said Currier
has a large and young family dependant upon
him and is in my opinion unable with the
utmost industry to support them without the
Page 16

assistance of the public of the assistance of
charitable individuals, -

I Samuel Aiken of lawful age depose and say
that I was born I have always lived in Chester in
the County of Rockingham & State of New Hampshire
and in early life to the age of sixteen years lived
within a mile of Ebenezer Currier and was well
acquainted with his circumstances, as he worked considerably
for my father, and my father owned a pine wood lot
adjoining said Ebenezer's land where he used to get his
summer'swood it being out & split the Spring previous. I have
always been acquainted with said Ebenezer's land in Chester
and it is ordinary pine plain land, and I should think it
was sold to Daniel Ball for its full value at two hundred
Dollars. Mr. Currier has been a hard working man & while
he was able to labor, made a sort of living, but he has been
failing for eight or ten years, he has an aged mother to support
& considerable family and is esteemed very poor and has
lived in a house of Deacon Edmund Adams for the last
two years, near to my mothers he owed me on note Nineteen
Dollars and five cents which Daniel Ball settled December
2d 1823 & about four months afterwards paid. Mr. Currier after
the said second day of December became indebted to me for
necessaries to live upon in his family to the amount
of Nineteen Dollars and three cents and on the thirty first
day of August 1824. Mr Ball came with Mr Currier &
paid me that sum for him both of which sums went in
payment of the farm bought by Daniel Ball of Mr Currier
& were endorsed on Daniel Ball's Note to Currier.

I Ebenezer Currier of lawful age testify and say
that I am an applicant to be restored
to the Revolutionary Pension List of the United States.
I further say that in July 1821 I sold
to Mr. James Hoyt of Chester five lambs mentioned

In July 1822, I sold to Mr. James McMurphy

due to him from me dated January 25th 1822 for
twenty dollars and interest and to Mr Samuel
Manter about four dollars and twenty cents due
him on my note dated March 18th 1822 for

cents thereof I paid to Capt Isaac Dinsmore of
said Chester Collector of taxes for said Chester
in payment of the taxes assessed on me for
the year 1822 and the balance of said sum of
twenty six dollars I applied to the payment of
Sundry small debts which I am now unable to
recollect and to the support of my family.
In November or the first of December 1823 I
sold my land consisting of about fifty acres
of very poor pine plain land to Mr Daniel
Ball of Chester for the sum of two hundred dollars.
For several months previous to said
sale I had made every exertion to sell said
Page 21

land and was unable to find any person
who would give me so much for the same as
Mr. Ball gave me. This sum of two hundred
dollars Mr. Ball at my request applied to pay
debts for me as follows. To John Bell Esquire
he paid for me the sum of forty eight dollars
and twenty three cents on my note dated January
22d. 1823 for forty five dollars eighty eight cents
& interest. This sum was due to said Bell 
partly for money paid by him for me and partly
for necessaries for the support of my family.-
To Rufus Wilson he paid for me twenty two dollars
and twenty six cents in payment of my two notes both
dated November 29th 1823 one for twelve dollars
fifty cents the other for nine dollars seventy
