I Amos Hovey of Thetford in the County of Orange & State of Vermont aged Eighty five years depose & say that sometime the forepart of Summer in the year Seventeen hundred & eighty one, as as I can recollect. I am certain it was in the year 1781. the month & day of the month I do not distinctly recollect. I was present in the town of Norwich in the State of Vermont & saw Josiah Hubbard of said Thetford united in marriage to Mary Hovey my sister. The marriage ceremony was performed as near as I can recollect & verily believe by the Revd. Lyman Potter then the minister of the Gospel in said Norwich. The said Josiah Hubbard ever after his said marriage lived with his said wife Mary in sd Thetford until his death which took place about five or six years ago as near as I can recollect. He left the said Mary a widow who has remained such ever since his death. I was well knowing to the sd Hubbards drawing a pension on account of his revolutionary services & that he resided in Middletown State of Connecticut when he served in the war of the revolution _
