I should have fixed the time of his death as June 1835, & not June 1836, - When my attention was called to it, since I gave my deposition before, I discovered that in that particular it was not correct, - It was in June 1835 that he died.

I Catharine Moody of lawful age having been duly sworn on oath before and say that since I gave my last deposition I have become convinced that I must have been mistaken in stating that Ezekiel Winslow late of Waldoboro in the County of State aforesaid deceased - died in June 1836. It was in June 1835 not June 1836 - As I now think - There are a number of circumstances which upon reflection serve to strengthen me in my belief that he died in 1835. The marriage of my daughter and the ages of her children - according to my calculations now gives his death in June 1835. I could name some particulars if it was necessary - I further state that I have no interest whatever in the result of the application of Sedona Winslow witness. W. A. Sherman Catharine W.
