Portage County ss. Amos Thresher now living in, and a resident of the Township of Rootstown in the County of Portage and State aforesaid being duly sworn doth depose and say, That he served in the Revolutionary war for upwards of four years, and that he had and was well acquainted with David Daniels in the army, That although the said Daniels was not in the same company with this deponent, he saw him on several occasions in the service while in the army, some of which times he now distinctly recollects, were at Princeton, at Elkton, at Annapolis, and also with the troops immediately after the surrender of Cornwallis, and deponent could relate many incidents which took place in the army while the said Daniels and this deponent were in the army, and which they have often talked over long after they came out of the army and since they both came to reside in the Township of Palmyra in the County of Portage aforesaid if the same were necessary. —
When deponent saw him at Princeton, he was then in a company of what was called selected or picked men from his Regiment, and when he saw him at Annapolis, was the time the Barron De Stuben was drilling and marshalling the troops at that place. From the first time to the last time deponent saw him the said Daniels in the Revolutionary service & army was more than three years, and deponent believes he had been in the army for some time before this deponent saw him in the army so as in person, to know him. This deponent, enlisted under Lt. Ebenezer M c Combie.

and served or was under Lieut. William Tivo, or Tivo (pronounced "Too"), of Bedford, who was afterwards a staff officer, and under Col. Israel Angel, and deponent enlisted and entered the service in the year 1777, and was stationed at a little redoubt, say about a quarter of a mile or so from Yorktown at the time Cornwallis surrendered, and deponent also remembers of seeing and conversing with the said Daniels (who was then an American soldier) immediately after the said surrender, and he remembers the conversation about the "damned British" & the "catholick & protestants."
He further states, that although the said Daniels went from the state of Connecticut, deponent did not know he had removed from there to the state of Ohio, yet this deponent when he saw him in the township of Palmyra in Portage county, he recognized him to be the same David Daniels he had known, (as above stated) in the Revolutionary war, and after some conversation in relation to their services &c, in the war, deponent found the said Daniels had moved to & was living in the said Town of Palmyra with his family. Deponent further says that he lived a near neighbour to the said David Daniels in the said town of Palmyra for about twelve years up to the death of the said Daniels, which he remembers was some time during the late war with England, (called the war of 1812). — and he further says that he was well acquainted with the wife and family of the said David Daniels, viz. Lucina Daniels the wife now the widow of the said David Daniels, and their children viz. Eliza Daniels now the wife of Jabez Gilbert 2 d

and with Frederick Daniels Jr. now a justice of the Peace of the said County of Portage, son of the said David Daniels, and also Horan Daniels, Orville Daniels, Harvey M. Daniels and Almina Daniels all children of the said David and Lucina Daniels, and deponent was and is personally well acquainted with them all as such children, and with the said David and Lucina Daniels as husband & wife up to the time of the death of the said David in 1813, and with his widow since the death of her said husband up to the present time
and he further says that although he was not present at the marriage of the said David Daniels to the said Lucina Daniels yet he knows the fact to be, that they have lived and kept house together, and have raised their family of children as husband & wife, and that they have always been so considered and accepted and reported amongst friends and neighbours as lawfully hus- band and wife, and he never heard such fact contradicted or in any way disputed,
He further says that he also knew by sight and by reputation Old Mr. James Meigs of Salisbury Connecticut, the father of the said Lucina Daniels, now the widow of the said David Daniels, and knows the fact that it was always well understood, and publicly reported that she married to the said David and that he the said David Daniels married the said Lucina Meigs in the Spring after Genl. Washington came in to be President the second time.
And deponent further knows the fact to be, that the widow Lucina Daniels who now resides with and makes it her home with the said Harvey M. Daniels is the same person, who has always lived

with the said David Daniels as his wife, and is now his widow, and is considered & accepted by friends and neighbours as the widow of the said David Daniels
Deponent further says that he is now in the receipt of a pension from the Government of the United States of about eighty dollars ($80) a year, and further he says not.
Sworn to and subscribed by the above named AMOS Thurber, this 30th day of Nov- ember 1842. The said before me (The said Amos is also personally and publicly known to me as a person of credibility, & as a credible witness.) N.B. Four interlineations before execution (4 interlineations).

In 1793 he was married to my mother the above named and moved to the new state of Ohio in 1799 and settled in the present township of Palmyra. And I would state that he departed this life in 1813 July the 13 and that my mother has and still continues to live his widow who is now near 77 years of age and is becoming quite frail and lives with her children and is dependent on them for support if she could receive some aid from a bountifull Government it would sooth her declining life
