Page 1

New York District [Illegible]: I Oliver C Comstock of Hadley in the county 
of Saratoga and State of aforesaid, being duly sworn, do testify & say,
that I became acquainted with William Scott in the year seven
teen hundred & five, who then then resided in the (then) town of Scho-
-nedady (but now city of Schencetady) and county of Albany
in said state, while a resident there, I understood he was eng-
-aged in mercantile pursuits - In the year following he moved
into the neighbourhood where he now resides, in Granfield (?) -
and in the county of Saratoga & state aforesaid, not far from
my place of residence, during which time he has been engaged
in agricultural business, but unable from a wound in his
hand to do much labor, has considerable part of said
times been a Magistrate of the Peace, and sometimes a Super-
-visor of his town, which may probably have [crossed out] some
-thing to his means of procuring a livelihood -

Sworn this 12th day of Nov. 2 A.D. 1807 before me Adam
Comstock a Commissioner to take
the evidence in the case of William
Scott as invalid claiming to be placed
on the pension list of the United States

[Signature] Oliver G. Comstock
