I Elias Keyes of Stockbridge in the County of Windsor & State of Vermont, of lawful age testify and say, that on the first of October AD 1808, Joseph Taggart, then of Royalton in said County, now of said Stockbridge, made application to me for a lot of land lying, in said Stockbridge, he said he was poor & unable to pay for said land, and wished me to wait upon him for pay - which I agreed to the price upon for said land was four hundred Dollars, with interest to be paid annually. The interest he paid in produce and any other articles he could conveniently spare until the 10th day of May AD 1821. he has never paid said four hundred Dollars nor any part thereof, about thirty acres of said land is good feasible land for mountain land, the remainder of said lot is seep, broken ledgy & rockey, and cannot be plowed to any advantage, a great part of the land which said Taggart has cleared on said lot is now overspread with bushes bryers & thistles, and I consider this lot of land to be of but little more value that if it was now wild land. On the tenth of May 1821, said Taggart being indebted to me about fifty dollars for a mare & other property which debt I gave up to said Taggart for what I then considered the land made better for his labour - The fences on said land which said Taggart had built are nearly rotten & gone, and there is not much other than log fence, and he is got old & unable to work much I never give said Taggart a deed or a bond force deed, but on said first of Octo. 1808 I gave him a writing expressing in substance, that if said Taggart paid said four hundred dollars & interest then he was to have a deed of said lot of land, and on said 10th day of May 1821 said Taggart being sensible that he could not pay for said land gave me back said writing, and I do further testify that said Taggart hath no title to said lot of land either in law or equity, and is liable to be turned off with his family at any time at my request - I have let him remain since said May 1828 on said land without paying anything as I have many other old soldiers on other lots of mine in this state
