State of Vermont } Be it remembered that before Orleans County ss } me a justice of peace for said county on the fourteenth day of December A.D. 1873 Conced Joseph Hall of Bellows Falls in said county of Orleans to me personally known as a person entitled to full credit and who made and subscribed the following affidavit that in the year 1782 resided in the town of Boutillet in the State of New Hampshire and then and there saw Andrew Henderson, who now resides in Hous- ton in the Province of Lower Canada, with a part of company of men under his command, which were said to be a part of the company of Captain Webster of Salisbury New Hampshire. Said Henderson was then acting in company of a sergeant and was going into the Northern Section of said State to guard the inhabitants from the Indians. He was gone a number of months I should think at least six months and I also saw said Hen- derson and his men when they returned to their Quarters at Newbury Vermont. I am now aged sixty five years.
