I, Wm. F. Rankin, Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas of said County, do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court in the matter of the application of Robert Job for a pension. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my Hand & Seal of said Court this First day of October Eighteen Hundred and Thirty two.
s/ Wm. F. Rankin, Clerk

I do certify that I was present in Court when the foregoing testimony was had and that I also believe that he was then called that on the hand and that the certificate of the Clerk as attached thereto of this man. He was therein given and established. I do not [illegible] a doubt of it. I also know that the Clergyman on account in Mercer Co. was there about said district [illegible] or I believe until the Court was over. This I believe to be the only reason why the certificate of clergy's name is not prescribed. Applicant is a man of truth.
