Morris County ss | George Goble, a citizen of Orange County, New York this day
appeared before me personally, & being first by me duly sworn, on his oath, declares
that he is the same George Goble, whose name is subscribed to a declaration
made on oath, before James Finch [illegible] a Judge of Orange County Court
of Common pleas, which declaration is hereunto annexed.
That when this declaration aforesaid was drawn, he remembered well, that
his service in the U.S. Revolutionary Army, was in the year 1776, & that he 
did not then distinguish between the time of Enlistment, & time of service.
That he is now perfectly convinced, after conversing with his [illegible] comrades
that his enlistment was in the latter part of the year 1775, viz: November &
not "in the fall of 1776" as stated in his declaration, & he hopes this explanation
may be admitted.  He also, the said Goble, on oath further declares
that he is not the owner of any land or property whatever, that he has but
one bow, & a few articles of very common household furniture.  That he
is a very poor laboring man, depending on his daily labor for his own
& his family sustenance, & is now sixty nine years of age
