I further testify and say - that previous to my mother's making her declaration aforesaid, I went to Troy, Albany and the adjoining towns in the State of New York, and examined the town and parish records, but could find no record of her marriage. I also took with me a list of names of persons who (my mother stated) were present at her wedding - and who formerly resided in Troy and in that vicinity - I learned that they were all dead, consequently no witness could be found who was present at the wedding.

I John Pomeroy of Burlington in the County of Chittenden and State of Vermont aged seventy four years - do depose and say that I have been a practising surgeon and physician in said Burlington ever since the year seventeen hundred and ninety four, that I have been requested to examine my books to ascertain the earliest charges made against Samuel Collamer late of Burlington deceased, for professional services rendered him and his family - that I have examined my account books for that purpose, and find the first charges to have been made on the twenty sixth day of March seventeen hundred and ninety five, that the said Collamer then had a family consisting of a wife and two or three children - from that period to the day of the said Collamer's death I was well acquainted with him and his family - He died in the month of January in the year Eighteen hundred and thirty two - I attended him during his last sickness. He left a widow named Elizabeth Collamer who has never married since her husband's death, and the said Elizabeth is the identical person whom I have known ever since the year seventeen hundred ninety four, as the wife of the said Samuel Collamer - they lived together as man and wife from my first acquaintance with them to the day of his death and raised a large family of children. She is a woman of truth and veracity - and I believe her statement that

She was married in the year Seventeen hundred eighty six, to be true.
