I certify that I have always understood, and believed from the statements of those who were well acquainted with Richard Curle, that he was a soldier in the revolutionary war, and served to the end thereof - that he died soon after its close - and that he was the same Richard Curle, who is the uncle of Richardson Curle. This statement is not made upon my own positive knowledge, but from tradition derived and handed down from the families of the parties, with whom I have long been intimate.
