Dear Sir,
I enclose you my own affidavit in regard to the children of my sister Mary. It is in all respect, true. It will perhaps be of use to state personally, that D r Barnabas Binney was my father; that at his death he had four children living, namely Susan now living and the wife of John B Wallace, — myself, his eldest son, — John another son who died in his infancy, at about the age of nine years, and Mary who married L. M. Sargent, and died in the winter of 1824, leaving three children, named Mary Turner, Horace Binney, & Manlius. The latter died in about eighteen months after the death of his mother, being an infant of less than two years old, leaving the other two children her only heirs. — This is of course a statement of all the heirs of my father, of course from my personal knowledge.
I am Respectfully Your ob. Serv.
