I Benjamin Hamblet, thirty seven years of age depose and say that for the last eight years, I have taken entire charge of and carried on the farm of my father, Phinehas Hamblet, at his request, and have supported him and his wife, my mother. My father has been under the doctors care all that time, and has not been able to do any labor - and for the last three years his wife, my mother, has been very feeble, and has done but very little labor. During this time, I have paid doctor's bills, to the amount of $143.71 - I have also paid a considerable sum for medical advice, and to apothecaries for medicine, of which I have kept no account, but think the amount must be $30 at least. I have also paid to Peter Rogers, on his account $113, - to Rachel Hamblet $22,00 to the executors of Mr Larson about $79.00 and to Phinehas Hamblet Jr $93.53, making in the whole, of payments in cash, on my fathers account, $481.24 - I estimate the expense of supporting my father and mother for said eight years at $100 per year - making $800.00 & making in all $1281.24. - In discharge of this, I have received stock as to the value of about $70.00, and have had the whole proceeds of the farm for seven years the value of which I estimate at fifty dollars per year at most - making $350.00. At the end of seven years, about one year ago, having no security for my expenditures, I requested my father to give me a deed of his farm, which he did, and which was then estimated to be worth $705. making $1125.00 in the whole, leaving a balance due to me of $155.24 according to the estimate I have made which I believe to be reasonable and correct.

This may certify that I have been acquainted with Phinehas Hamlett for this fifteen years past and known that his health has been poor and unable to labour. for this number of years past he has periods of disease that has been very painful and alarming. The winter past he has been under my care with the complaints more aggravated than they ever have been. he is liable to returns of his complaints uppon slight causes. and there is not the least probability that he ever will be able to attend to any kind business.
