That on inquiring of the said Terbof by whom he could prove his services he gave the name of the said Allen Leister as one observing at the same time that he believed the said Allen must know of his having served as stated in said declaration because his residence in the Revolution- ary war was near that of the said Hen- ry Terbof and deponent says that he inserted the name of the said Leister, expecting that before the said declaration would be sworn to before the Court of Common Pleas of Ulster County, the affidavit of the said Leister would be obtained and annexed to the said declaration - and deponent also saith that the Court of Common Pleas of Ulster County before whom the said affidavit or declaration of the said En- =bop was sworn sat at Kingston forty miles distant from Newburgh depo- nents residence and that deponent was not present when said affidavit was sworn to as aforesaid - and deponent also saith that since the return of said declaration from the with the objection that the said Leister
