Wm B. Lade H. R.

I, Oliver Pattison, of Castleton in the County of Rutland and State of Vermont, aged 51 years on the 30 th day of March, 1839, do depose, testify and say, that David Pattison, and Chloe Pattison whose maiden name was Chloe Heath, were my parents. That about twenty six years ago, I recollect, that my said father sent his family Bible, from which the annexed record is cut by myself, to a School-Master in a neighboring District, for the purpose of having said record made in said Bible. The said School-Master's name was Daniel  John Gill, and the record is in his hand writing, made up from documents, now lost, furnished by my said father. Said Gill was an old man, at the time he made the record; and has been many years deceased. I know the hand writing to be that of said Gill having often seen him write, and, also, seen much of his writing. I further depose and say, that in the month of June last, I made a journey, at the request of my said mother, to the town of Springfield in the County of Berkshire and State of Massachusetts, in which town she was married to my said father, for the purpose of procuring a copy of the record of their said marriage; but, that on inquiring at the town Clerk's Office in said town, no record of the marriage could be there found in the town books, or elsewhere: and I do verily believe, that no other record of said intermarriage, than the annexed, is now in being. My mother's maiden name, Heath, was added to her christian name, Chloe, by the said Gill, after he brought it home. More particularly to identify said record, I have subscribed my name under the record of the said marriage.
Oliver Pattison
The christian name of the said Gill being corrected, and altered from John, to Daniel Gill, before swearing.

I send herewith papers recently received from Col. Foss of Rutland Vt. touching the claim of Silas Patterson, widow of David Patterson, for a pension. They were made out last summer, but were mislaid in Col Foss office, and have recently been discovered. In the mean time Mrs. Patterson has deceased. The son of Mrs. Patterson wishes to have them printed, upon a supposition which he entertains that, inasmuch as the papers were completed before his mother's decease, the pension may still be allowed, so as to entitle her heirs to the amount which would have accrued previous to her decease.
