State of New York Rensselaer County ss On this 29 th day of August A.D. One Thousand Eight Hundred and forty four Per- -sonally appeared before me the undersigned one of the Justices of the Peace of the said County.
David Wiley who being duly sworn accor- -ding to Law testifies and says that in the year 1787 he moved to and became a resident of the Town of Hosick in the County of said said that this deponent was at that time fourteen years of age. That at the age of Twenty one which was in the Spring of the year 1794 this deponent was Elected a Constable in and for the said Town of Hosick. That previous and at this time this deponent was well acquainted with Martin Van Every, Doct Abbott Bury, Cronkite Mr. Fox and Mr. Asa Cole all then residents of said Town of Hosick. That during this year (to wit) 1794 this deponent well recollects of hearing the said Martin Van Every say that he had sold and conveyed to the said Abbott & Cronkite his Millerton Bounty Lands. This deponent also at the time understood from the said Abbott & Cronkite that they had purchased of the said Van Every his Millerton Bounty Lands as aforesaid. And this deponent further says that his situation as Constable of said Town of Hosick in the said year 1794 enabled him personally to know the situation and circumstances of said Van Every and being frequently at his house in the discharge of his official duties enabled him to know more of up the situation of his family and domestic re- -lations. Said Van Every at this time to wit in the year 1794 had a family for which he provided consisting of his wife Sarah and a number of children some of whom are still living that I have been acquainted with the family from the time referred to to the death of said Van Every and his wife Sarah and am now well acquainted with a number of the children.

This deponent further says that at the time he thus states his knowledge and acquaintance with the family of said Van Eury & particularly with his wife Sarah To wit in the year 1794 they were living together as Husband and Wife & had a family of children and that they have continued to live together as Husband & Wife raising and maintaining a family of children up to the time of their deaths. That some of their children are still living, and as this deponent understands are now applying for a pension for what might have been due their mother Sarah for the services rendered by her husband Martin Van Eury in the Revolutionary War, I would also depose and say that it was and has always been understood that said Martin Van Eury was a soldier of the Revolution. all of which this deponent testifies to be just and true according to his knowledge understanding and belief and further this deponent says not.
