Stanton a resident of the Town of Charleston in said County of Montgomery, aged 74 years being du- ly sworn according to law do depose and say that I am well acquainted with Deborah Gule who is now the widow of Abraham Gule and who died in said Town of Charleston in the Spi- ng of the year, 1835, and was at the said day of his death a Revolutionary Pensioner of the United States. That in the year 1790, and when I was sixteen years of age I came from Preston in the State of Connect- icut to live in the aforesaid Town of Charleston where I have continued to live until the present time. That about one year before I came to Charleston as aforesaid the said Abraham Gule came from, or went from Preston aforesaid to live in Charleston aforesaid and had lived in said Charleston about one year when I arrived in that Town as aforesaid. I knew the said Gule when living in Preston aforesaid. That after I had lived in said Charleston about five years and in 1795, it being in the winter of that year the said Abraham Gule left Charleston aforesaid, and which fact I distinctly remember, to go to New Lebanon in the present County of Columbia in said State of New York for the purpose of getting mar- ried and after having been absent a few weeks returned with the said Deborah, whose maiden name was Lowden, and her father John Lowden moved them out from New Lebanon aforesaid to Charleston aforesaid. I well remember when they ar- rived in said Charleston in 1795, as aforesaid. They came with sleighs. It was then currently reported and believed by the inhabitants of Charleston aforesaid that the said Abraham and Deborah had been duly married to each other in New Lebanon aforesaid

but a few days before they left that place in the winter of the year, 1795, as aforesaid to come to Charleston aforesaid and after they arrived in this the said Town of Charleston they continued there to live as husband and wife always passed as such, and were universally, believed to be such, up to the said time of the death of the said Abraham Grille as aforesaid, They raised a family of Children the oldest of which is Sarah and is now at least fifty two years of age.

That in the year 1798, I came to live within two miles of the said Abraham and Deborah Guile in Charleston aforesaid where I have continued to live until the present time. That the said Abraham and Deborah Guile were then, to wit, in 1798, living together as husband and wife in said Charleston they passed as such, and were recognised as such by the inhabitants of Charleston aforesaid. They were believed to be such husband and wife, and at that time, to wit, in 1798, had a child named Sarah then about two or three years of age. That from the time I became acquainted with the said Abraham and Deborah Guile in 1798, as aforesaid they continued to live together and sustained all the relationship of husband and wife up to the said time of the death of the said Abraham. They raised a family of children and during all that time were always believed by the inhabitants of said Charleston to be such husband and wife and to have been duly married to each other.
