The disposition of D. Roberson

I Daniel Robinson of Hardwick in the County of Worcester and Commonwealth of Massachusetts 54 years of age, testify and say, that in the month of August 1902, and according to my best recollection, about the middle of said month, Jonathan Morble, who was then Jonathan Morble Junior, and is now of the Town of Halifax, in the County of Windsor, and state of Vermont, enlisted with me into the service of the United States. We marched together from said Hardwick to Boston, in said Commonwealth, and from thence to a place called Ver- -plank's Point, where we joined the army. He enlisted as above for the term of 3 years. How long he therein belonged to the army I cannot positively state. Soon after our arrival at the last men- tioned place the said Morble joined the 10 th and I the first Regiment. I was, however, well acquainted with him in the army, and saw him frequently. The 10 th Regiment having been broken up, the said Morble thereafter joined the first with me, where he continued until the warm season of the next year. I distinctly recollect of transacting business with him, and in company with him, after the weather

had become quite hot in the year 1703; I cannot however, positively state the month of last mentioned year, when I last saw him in the said Regiment with me, it was probably in the month of June or July. He might have continued even longer than that time. I further testify that I am a disinterested witness in this case Daniel Robinson

Baraboo Amish Deposition

I Beriah Amadon of Dana in the County of Worcester and Commonwealth of Massachusetts 61 years of age, testify and say that Jonathan Morble Jr. who lived is now of the Town of Halifax in the state of Vermont, lived with me in the year 1702; that in the month of August of the same year, and according to my best recollection, about the middle of said month, the said Morble enlisted into the Revolutionary army of the United States, and im- mediately after, marched from Hardwick, in said County, in company with one Daniel Robinson of s d Hardwick, to join the army; that in the summer of 1703, I should think in the month of June or July the said Morble returned from the army to my house, and to my service . I cannot state more definitely the time of his return; according to my best judgement, however, formed from my general recollection of the state of agitation and from the labour I was employed about, upon the farm, at that time, and, particularly, from a dis- tinct recollection of the advanced state of the corn crop, the summer season must have been somewhat advanced. I held a correspondence with said Morble during his absence aforesaid. His com- munications purported to be from the camp -

I never heard any thing to the detriment of said Morble as a soldier, I have no doubt he was a faithful one _____
I further testify that I am a disinterested witness in this case _____

I Jonathan Marble of Halifax in the County of State of Maine Windsor Depose and testify that in making my declaration for the purpose of obtaining the foreman of the Grand Jury Congress met the 20th to provide for certain persons engaged in the law and order service of the United States in the revolutionary war, seem to and declare the 26th day of June 1818 there is a mistake in point of time I now testify that from reporting my recovery by conversation with Borel and Amos and Robinson Daniel they have brought several circumstances to my recollection which before I saw them had entirely escaped my recollection and from which I am fully convinced that the time of my enlistment was not on the 5th or 6th of Septm 1782 that being the time I was mustered in Boston and that my enlistment was some time not far from the middle of August of the same year - and that instead of leaving the Army in May as stated in said declaration I am now fully of opinion that I did not return home earlier in the season of the year 1783 than the time stated in the affidavit of said Amos and said Robinson which depositions are herewith enclosed which do state my return to be in June or July - and further the deponent saith not - Jonathan Marble
