I Robert Harper of Harperfield in the County of Ashtabula State of Ohio, on oath do depose I say that I am personally acquainted with Ezekiel Woodworth of Harperfield in said County, who has made his application to be restored to the pension list under the act of May 1 st 1820 have been acquainted with said Woodworth for more than twenty years he has during that period resided with in two miles of me and that I have at all times been particularly acquainted with his property since 1818. and that some time I think in the years 1823 or 1824 I drew, a sum which Ezekiel Wood- worth executed & delivered to his son Lewis of I think about fifty acres of his farm which was then given Lewis as his portion of his fathers property Ezekiel Wood- worth then owned I think about fifty acres more on which him self & aged wife & a young son then lived, which was probably worth $500 and a small personal property which property he continued to own I think till 1828 he loan in 1826 however became security to a Mercantile house at Cleveland under the name of Cizer H o for the debt of another person to the amount of about $400. for which he was sued & in November 1828 a Judgment was obtained against him for the amount & costs betw 4 & 500 $ I was his Counsel there was then a proposition made to him to discharge said Judgment if he would procure the notes of his son Lewis in favor by Lewis Montgomery payable in one two years I think & In order to procure said note he was compelled to convey all his property to Lewis Woodworth which was at its fair & full value & the Judg-ment I think is discharged Lewis has assumed the payment of the debt It was done in order to prevent the property from being sold under a Sheriff Sale It then would not have paid the debt, but the debt was contracted Cizer H o left the Country & at this time I do not know when they are. But I am generally believe that the transaction was a fair & bona fide one betw the

parties & that It was not done with a view on the part of Ezekiel Woodworth to conceal his property or to defraud his creditors, at the time his property is little or perhaps nothing more than what is exempted by the Laws of Ohio from an execution he is now again in firm as is also his wife & at the time I think is entirely dependent on the charity of his children for their support. In attesting the attestation for Levi H d who finally settled the Indenture transaction herewith with Ezekiel Lewis Woodworth since last June. further this deponent sayeth not Nov 28- 1829

I Lewis Woodworth of Harpersfield in the County of Ashtabula State of Ohio do depose and say, that in November 1828 I purchased of my father Ezekiel Woodworth fifty seven and a half acres of land in Lot N o 48 in the Town of Harpers- field for four hundred Dollars for which I paid in the following manner There was an Indgement in the Court of Common Pleas for Ashtabula County in favour H. H. Sizer & Co o against Ezekiel Woodworth for Three hundred Sixty four Dollars & \frac{38}{100} he secured the Cost which was discharged by my giving my note on the Seventh day of November 1828 in favour by Lewis McGonegal as my Surety which Amount was one half to be paid in 6 months & the residue in one year and the Cost which I had to pay in all was over $400. I think the Trans- action between Ezekiel Woodworth & my Selfe was a fair & bona fide Transaction. My father Ezekiel Woodworth had some years previous clear on fifty Seven & 1/2 acres of land as my share of his property but none of his property has been divided or conveyed a way with an view to obtain a pension or to defraud his creditors but for the pure purpose of paying his debts and further the deponent saith not

I Robert Harper of Harpersfield in the County of Ashtatula State of Ohio. On oath do state in addition to my former statement to the department of Nov 28 AD 1829 on the subject of Ezekiel Woodworths appli- cation to be restored to the Pension List. That I have been acquainted with said Woodworth for many years & am acquainted with him at this time. That some time in the fall of 1828. The said Ezekiel Wood- worth conveyed by Deed fifty seven acres of Land to his son Lewis Woodworth in consideration that the said Lewis Woodworth would pay a Judgment then on against said Ezekiel Woodworth. in Cluding costs in Amount something more than four hundred Dollars the Judgment was in favour of H. H. Sizer & Co and was the full value of the Land & I think more. Lewis Woodworth then received the Deed from Ezekiel Woodworth & assumed the payment of the Judgment & has since paid the same & is now in possession of the Land & owns it. I was at the time personally acquainted with the whole transaction & am satisfied that it was a fair & honest transaction between the parties & that it was not for the purpose of enable the said Ezekiel to obtain a Pension. Nor to defraud his creditors but to pay his debt. & I further state that at the time the said

Erskine Woodworth has no property of any consequence and that he is supported by his Children & Friends and is so old & infirm that he is unable to support himself. The Reason which the said Erskine assigns for not having made an application to be restored to the Pension list for the sum now on file in the Department is he supposed while he owned the property alluded to he could with propriety be restored and further this Deponent saith not
