Dr Sir
Herewith I send the affidavit of James W Dickinson with his family records as the best evidence that I can find to establish the marriage of Isaac Dickinson and Margaret Parker with my own affidavit in regard to the searches for evidence to establish the Union between them - I hope that it may be satisfactory. Mr James W Dickinson who made the accompanying affidavit is a very respectable man and is in good standing in the Methodist Church in the neighbourhood where he lives. The Indenture attached to the declaration of Mr Dickinson by which the youngest son of Isaac Dickinson was bound to John Swartey and acknowledges the said Margaret to be the wife of the said Isaac Dickinson and the family records of James W Dickinson shows that he was born four years before the time would expire in which it is necessary they should be married. I hope that was much as this is the best evidence that I am able to find that it may be satisfactory. The declaration of the Widow Dickinson was forwarded on the 7th inst.
I am with the greatest respect and esteem yours at John W. Martin Hon J Edwards bond to cousins
