Personally appeared before me the undersigned District Judge of the United States in and for the Delaware district, Jacob Furbee of Kent county in the said district, late a non-commissioned officer in the Delaware Regiment, in the army of the revolution, who being sworn in due form of law, deposes and declares, that he is acquainted with John Hayes (also John Hays Green) the forenamed applicant; that from sundry occurrences and and events heretofore detailed by said Hays to thy deponent as having happened at Christiana-bridge, soon after said Hay’s enlistment as also on the march from said place to York-town (Virginia); and of occurrences and events which took place at the seige of York-town and on his march through South Carolina; and as well his perfect knowledge of the officers, non-comissioned officers and soldiers belonging to said regiment, thy deponent verily believes, that said Hays was a soldier in said regiment before, at and after the capitulation of Lord Cornwallis at York-town aforesaid; that thy deponent does not perfectly recollect the said Hays, but thinks he has some feint recollections of him; and is confident that no person who was not with said regiment could have given such a circumstantial detail of occurrences during that campaign; and further thy saith not.
