Joseph Cashman's affidavit

Joseph Cushman of Norwich in the county of Windsor & State of Vermont aged eighty five years before me say that I was a soldier in the Revolutionary War in Col. Sherman's Regiment in the Connecticut line, which Regiment was formerly commanded by Col. Webb. I was in said service three years, during which time I was well acquainted with Hiram Hall who was also a soldier in said line & belonged as I think to Col. Safford's Regiment. I left said Hall in the Army, when I was discharged in 1780, at New Jersey. I also further say that I came to Norwich in this town in January 1787, and found the same Hiram Hall residing here, and he continued to live here for several years. And I also say that I have been well acquainted with Simeon Hall of West Fairlee in the county of Orange for more than forty years, and that he is the son of the said Hiram Hall above mentioned, and further say not.
