Do certify that I was acquainted with Jeremiah Macmihin previous to the revolution, and am know- -ing to his having enlisted with Captain Jas.

I William Helms one of the representatives in Congress, from the State of New Jersey, and formerly a Captain in the 2 d Regiment of said State during the revolutionary war, Do hereby that I know Jeremiah Macnicol who was a soldier in said Regiment, and am knowing to his being wounded at the battle of Brandywine, of which wound he languished until some time in the beginning of the year 1778 when he died, as I have been informed, and verily believe in consequence thereof. That the said Macnicol left a wife and two children, the children from the best information I can collect died soon after their father, his wife Susanna Macnicol I knew then (vixi in 1777 & 1778) and recognize now, and believe her to be the only surviving relative in the country of the said Jer o . Macnicol, he being a native of Ireland
