I certify that I have always understood and believed from the statements of those who were well acquainted with Jacob 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 is the same Jacob Curle who was the uncle of Reuben Curle. This statement is not made upon my own positive knowledge, but from tradition derived and handed from the families of the parties, with whom I have long been intimate.
