This may certify that on the day of the app- -raisal of the within named real and personal property belonging to the within named Jabez Youngman, Helen Youngman son of the said Jabez Youngman contracted for said real estate and agreed to pay debts against the said Jabez Youngman to the amount of the appraisal and thereupon a deed was executed and lodged in my hands there to remain until the said Helen Youngman should fulfil his said contract - but said Helen Youngman failed to fulfil his said contract - and said deed by the agree- -ment of the parties was destroyed which disappointment is the cause why said Sch- -edule or has not before this time been forwarded to the war department
William Carey
We the subscribers certify that we have for many years been acquainted with the within named Jabez Youngman and family, that they have ever been considered industrious and prudent, but never possessing but little prop- -erty, for the following reasons the said Jabez has become poor, his children have all become of lawful age, his wife for more than two

two years last past has been under the Doct's care and for the last four months confined to her bed, and he being infirm and an old man which has made it necessary to hire his farm carried on and all his house work and much mowing - We have no doubt of his poor- -ety and that he came to it by the hand of providence and not by any premeditated act of his or their own

We the subscribers certify that the estate within named belonging to the within named Jabez Young -man has actually been sold by the s d Jabez as will appear by a copy of the deed accompany- -ing this Schedule for the payment of the s d Jabez's to the amount of the appraisal of s d real estate and that the purchaser has become obligated to pay said debts, and that we have not the least distant idea but that said conveyance was made in good faith and free from fraud, the purchaser is a son of the s d Jabez, and more than forty five years of age has not lived with his father for the last twenty years but has resided in a distant part of the State, having as we believe never received any aid from his father otherwise than in the pur- -chase of s d real estate, and that, in consequence of a full equivalent in the payment of debts aga- -inst s d Jabez to the full amount of the apprais- -al of s d real estate

Sir
In the case of John Youngman there can be no doubt of his being in extremely indigent circumstances. I live not many miles from his residence and know him well, and know well those who have certified and deposed in his be- -half and you can safely rely on their representations - as they are men of my personal knowledge of undoubted character for truth and there can be no doubt that the transfer is made in good faith. With great respect I am your obt Servt Henry Hubbard

I further say that Aluah Smith, Wm Coney & Harvey Metcalf Esqrs are civil Magistrates in the Town of Lempster and that they are men of highly respectable characters characters. I also certify that Timothy Nichols Elliot Coney & Ephraim Booth are men of respectable characters. with each of these gentlemen I am intimately acquainted - and I fully believe that the amount of property of Aluah Mr Youngman is the owner can  does not exceed One Hundred Fifty dollars and I am confident for myself that it would fall short of that sum
