State of Connecticut County of Middlesex ss East Haddam April 24 th 1822
Be it remembered, that at said East Haddam, on the day & year above mentioned, personally appears Noah Butchley, of said East Haddam being first carefully examined & duly cautioned to speak the truth, doth on his oath depose & say, that in the year 1802, himself & one George Little, then of said East Haddam, & now of the State of Pennsylvania were Merchants in company, under the firm of Butchley & Little & Co, in such carried on business, at said East Haddam, for several years afterwards; that from the Sledges of said company, now in the possession of the Deponent, it appears, that during said time, an account on book, accrued in favor of said company against Ebenezer Winckley, of said East Haddam, for articles of small amount purchased at different times; that from said Sledge he infers that said account was settled with the said Winckley, some time in the year 1806 & a balance found due from him to said firm of £. 2. 13. 5. That the Copartnership between the Deponent & the said George Little being dissolved, the Deponent & one Ralph Little, then of said East Haddam, & now of Sheffield in the State of Massachusetts, afterwards, as Merchants in company, under the firm of Ralph Little & Co, formed a connexion in business carried on the same at said East Haddam for about two years; that during said time, as appears from the Sledges of the said Ralph Little & Co, now in the Deponent's possession, a book account accrued in favor of said last mentioned firm against Ebenezer Winckley, of said East Haddam, which, as the

also appears. Deponent refers from said last mentioned Ledger, was settled in the year 1811, a balance thereon found due to the said Ralph Little Esq. of £.1.15.28 3/4 - , but not having the said Books of said Companies before him, from the manner in which said Ledgers first mentioned were kept, he cannot speak with certainty in relation to said settlements; that the connexion in business between the Deponent & the said Ralph Little having been dissolved, the Deponent for several years afterwards transacted business individually as a Merchant at the same place, & that while the Deponent so transacted business, an account existed in favor of the Deponent agst. the said Hinkley, for sundry small articles of goods purchased of the Deponent by the said Hinkley; from time to time That, as it appears from the Deponents Books, the account between the Deponent & the said Hinkley, was settled, on the 1st day of April 1817, at which time he was found to be indebted to the Deponent in the sum of $26.14 cents; - That, as nearly as the Deponent now recollects, some time in the year, 1815, himself & Wm B. Boardman, then of East Haddam aforesaid, as Merchants in Company formed a Partnership & transacted business as such, at said East Haddam, for the term of about three or four years thereafter, under the firm of William B. Boardman Esq.; That, during the time of their so transacting business, the said Hinkley became indebted to them on book for goods by them sold & him purchased to the amount of some what more than twenty dollars; but not having the books of said Company at this time before him he cannot state the amount exactly; but from a document in his possession he finds that a Note given by the said Hinkley to the said Wm B. Boardman Esq., including principal & interest as computed to the 15 th September 1818, amounted to the sum of $23.96 cents, & which said Note he supposes to have been for the balance due on settlement to the said -

Wm B.
