This declaration of Samuel Hadlock, was delivered to me by the Hon. John Mott one of the judges of the Court of Common Pleas of the County of Washington, I have known Hadlock the applicant for many years, and for seven or eight years he was my near neighbor, this however happened when I was a young man, I then frequently heard him narrate his services at the time of the capture of Burgoyne, he was always considered a very honest man, and I am confident that he would not knowingly misrepresent. I am well acquainted with all the witnesses to his declaration, they are respectable & creditable, the old man is now over ninety years of age, and standing on the brink of the grave would not be so depraved as to misstate, I hope his case may be favorably considered, and believe it to be one of merit.
