I Rebecca Brockway of Washington in the County of Sullivan and State of New Hampshire, do testify and say that I was eighty five years old, on the twenty first day of May 1836.  I furthermore depose and say that I am Sister to William Jones, late a pensioner of the United States, but now deceased.  I was also acquainted with Abigail Cole, whom my Brother William married, and was present at the wedding of the said William Jones & Abigail Cole.  They were married in Amherst in the County of Hillsborough & State of New Hampshire several years before my Brother William was called into the service of the United States.  I do not recollect precisely how long, but I well remember, they had two children.  I nursed Mrs. Jones when she was confined with her first child.  I also made a suit of clouthes for my said Brother William to wear, when he was first called into the service of the United States.  My said Brother William died in Windsor in said County of Hillsborough a little more than three years ago, and left his wife, the said Abigail a widow.  I expect she is now living with her son William, in the town of Massena in the County of St. Lawrence and State of New York.  My said Brother William was the oldest child in
