And that the Heirs at Law of his Estate are as follows viz John Hill (son of said Andrew) who is now living in the Town of Brewster aforesaid County and State aged 78 Years on the first day of November A. D. 1853

Sworn and subscribed to before me this tenth day of November A. D. 1853 and he is a credible person John Kenny Justice of the Peace
And I John Kenny hereby certify that I am personally acquainted with said John Hill have known him from a Boy and believe him to be son of Andrew Hill who died in the Revolutionary War on or about 1780 or 1781 when said John Hill was but Five

years of age and that said John Hill is old and infirm and in needy circumstances the Bounty Land Pension and Back-pay due him from his father's services would be greatly received as his poverty was occasioned in a great measure by his father's services in said War as he was bound out at the early age of seven years.
On the last to the best of my knowledge and belief nothing was ever obtained for said Andrew Hill's services either by him or his heirs as said Andrew died in the Corps of Invalids in said War.
I am twenty five years of age John Kenny last of the Penn
