I, Fanny De Marainville of lawful age, after being duly sworn depose & say That I emigrated to this place in the year 1810 in company with my father Charles De Marainville. At the time my father came here, he had very little property. In the year 1811 or 1812, he contracted with the Honorable Niel Holmes of the State of Connecticut for One hundred and forty nine Ares of Land, being part of lot number forty seven in this place. The contract was to terminate in the year 1816 to the best of my recollection, and was so conditioned that my father was not to have a deed or conveyance, until said lands were wholly paid for. Owing to poverty growing out of unforeseen circumstances, he totally failed in making payment, but afterwards, by selling fifty Ares of said land to my brother John - and also by aid of his pension for Revolutionary services, he completed the payment for said Land and received his Deed in the year 1823 as near as I can recollect. Without the pension I know that he could not have paid for his land. He was careful to make a prudent application of it to that purpose. And further I say not.

John De Marainville of lawful age, after being duly sworn, Depose and say that I came to this country in company with my father Charles De Marainville in the year 1810 - That within a year or two after we came here, he contracted with Uriel Holmes of Connecticut for one hundred and forty nine Acres of land The location was in this township and is a part of Lot number forty seven. My father stipulated to pay in four years and was to have a Deed on final payment. He failed to pay according to contract and and was about to be ejected from the possession - an event which he could not have avoided, but from subsequently having sold to me fifty Acres of said land, the payment of which was applied to the discharge of the debt to Holmes and also from having become a Pensioner for Revolutionary Services, he was enabled to extinguish the Holmes claim and to perfect the title to his land. This was accomplished about six years ago. Without the pension he could not have obtained his Deed. - And, as he is now old and helpless and he live comfortably without it. He never has given me a foot of land - that which I had of him I have paid for at the contract price with Holmes. I distinctly recollect that it is but about six years since he received his deed, altho' it was dated several years before that time and further this deponent saith not.

He was allowed pension on his application executed April 27, 1816, while residing in Salem, Ashtabula County, Ohio.
In 1820 he was seventy-four years old and his wife Deborah was sixty-three years old. They had children, John and Fanny.

And should you have any Doubts about it the above Statements and facts can be proven by many judicious men and for further information we would refer you to the Hon.

He contracted for lands with Uriel Holmes, but was unable to pay at the termination of the contract. Nor did he pay until after he became a pensioner for Revolutionary Service. With the money, thus obtained he paid Holmes for his land. To the best of my recollection, it was several years after he became a pensioner before he finally paid, when he received his Deed.

The deposition of
John Fox of Salem in said County of lawful age who being duly sworn deponeth and saith that he is well acquainted with Charles De Meramville of said Salem who has drawn a pension for some years past as a Revolutionary soldier, That he, the deponent came into Salem aforesaid in company with the said Charles in the Month of December One Thousand eight hundred & ten, That in the course of the next year the said Charles contracted with the agent of Uriel Holmes for about One hundred & fifty acres of Land and was to pay the purchase money as this deponent thinks in the year One thousand eight hundred and sixteen at which time said Charles De Meramville was unable to perform his contract, This deponent further says that to the best of his recollection said Charles became a Pensioner in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen, that about two years after that period a suit was commenced by Uriel Holmes aforesaid for the payment of the money due for the land, and that some time in the year One thousand eight hundred and twentythree according to this deponent's best recollection, this deponent was present when a final settlement took place between the said Charles & one Titus Brockway agent of the said Uriel Holmes at which time the said Titus delivered to said Charles the title deed from said Uriel to said Charles of the lands first mentioned - And this deponent

Further says that he has no doubt that the sale of fifty acres of the land to his son and the money received on his pension was the sole cause of his, the said Charles, paying for his land and receiving a title, and that if that had not been the case he must inevitably have failed in paying and have been dispossessed of the land And further this deponent saith not —

I Charles De Marainville of lawful age and a Pensioner for Revolutionary Services, after being duly sworn, Depose and say that in the year 1810 I came to this place with my family. I had then little or no property. Soon after or within a year or two I contracted with Judge Holmes for One hundred and forty nine Acres of land, being part of lot number forty seven in this township (Salem). The conditions of the contract were that I was to pay in four years and in default thereof that it should become null and void.
The payments were not made at the expiration of the contract and Holmes commenced a suit against me - but after various delays and in consequence of my selling fifty Acres of said land to my son John at the contract price & interest and also in consequence of my being placed on the pension list, I was enabled to complete the said payments and obtained my Deed. The deed I was not, neither did I receive it until final payment. This was to the best of my recollection, in the year 1823, altho' it was dated in the year 1816. The Deed was made in Connecticut, by Holmes, and sent to his Agent, Mr. Brockway, in this country and by him kept until the time aforesaid. I had then been a pensioner about five years and had faithfully applied the money to the extinguishment of the Holmes' debt - otherwise I could not have become the owner of any part of the lands aforesaid, and further this deponent saith not.

I, Jeremiah King of lawful age after being duly sworn, Depose and say That about forty years ago I became acquainted with the Hon ble Niel Holmes of Litchfield in the State of Connecticut and was thereafter acquainted with him during his life. In the year 1810 I also became acquainted with Charles De Marainville of this place. Judge Holmes was a Nonresident proprietor and owned lands in this township. Marainville contracted with said Holmes for about one hundred and fifty acres of land, being part of lot No. 47 in this neighborhood, stipulating that he would pay said Holmes the consideration money therefor in four years or thereabouts. This contract I think terminated in 1816. Marainville failed to fulfill his contract - he was poor. It was the practice of said Holmes so far as my acquaintance with his affairs enabled me to judge, to make the Deeds of conveyance upon contracts, when the contracts expired, but not to deliver them until final payment. The Deed from Holmes to Marainville bears date at Litchfield in Connecticut October 29 th 1816 - but in consequence of said Marainville failing to pay, it was not delivered, to the best of my recollection, until the year 1823, in which year I think the final payment was made. I believe it was in April 1818 said De Marainville applied to me, then one of the judges of the Court of Common Pleas for this (Ashtabula) county, for the purpose of obtaining a pension under the provisions of the Act of Congress of the 18 th of March 1818. The pension was subsequently granted and said De Marainville enrolled on the list of pensioners for Revolutionary Services. With the avails of this pension and the

consideration money of fifty Acres of land, being part of said lands purchased of Holmes, which he (De Maraineville) sold to his son John he completed the payments as aforesaid and received his Deed. Without the pension he could not have become the Proprietor.
I am somewhat conversant with his affairs and think that he has made a judicious use of the bounty of Government. Salem (Ahtatula county) December 18 1829.

Sir
I am requested by Charles De Marainville a Pensioner for Revolutionary Services, under the provisions of the Act of Congress of the 18 th March 1818, to call your attention to the subject of his pension. Sometime previous to the 24 th Sept. last, a few persons personal enemies to Marainville, communicated information to the War Department that he was the owner of about 150 Acres of land before he became a pensioner. The accompanying Affidavits will, I think, set the affair in a proper light. I have requested Mr. Whittelsey, member of the House of Representatives, who is as I am informed, acquainted with the main facts, to add his statement to those herewith forwarded.
Judge Holmes resided six hundred miles from this place - he is dead - it is therefore out of Marainville's power to avail himself of evidence which must be conclusive in the premises. Marainville is more than eighty years of age and very infirm. He is very anxious for a speedy decision of his case.
Yours Most Obedt.
