And the said Nadebiah Gady being duly sworn, doth declare, depose, testify & say, in addition to and amendment of the said Declaration as follows - That in relation to the first & second terms of service in said declarations mentioned, the said service was by him done, at the time, in the manner, & under the officers, therein named. That he knows all the said officers to be dead. That his brother Benjamin Gady late of Windsor Vt. but also now deceased, was a sergeant in the same Company. And that he cannot find, nor does he now know of any person living, who was personally knowing to, or by whom he can make other proof of said service.
He further, in relation to the terms of service, thirdly & fourthly mentioned in said declaration, deposeth & saith, that the said service was performed as therein stated; but that he does not know of any person now surviving, who was personally knowing to the same. That about seventeen years ago, he this deponent was on his last visit to Billingsley, that he there found, among his old acquaintances, only one person (Deacon Thomas Day,) who had been his comrade in the service. That the said Day was the steward of the Company in which this deponent performed the sum of duty under Capt.
