This may certify that Francis Carberry has resided for many years in Bucks county about five miles from the residence of the subscriber that he has been regarded as an old Revolutionary soldier and from the minutiae of his recollection of the names of the officers of the Revolutionary Army. This marks the the dates of the events of that period and his general reputation for veracity. I have no doubt of the truth of the within Declaration
