John Grafton, of Sheslay, in the county of York, & state of Maine, Esquire of lawful age do testify and say
That Horn mortgaged to me Decbr. 21 st 1822 all the real estate which he then owned, the consideration in said mortgage was $150 27 / 100 composed of the following notes & payment, viz; one note dated March 25 th 1815 for $23 12 / 100 one note dated Nov. 25 th 1822 for $87 71 / 100 given for an settlement of account composed of Goods and insee payments (for etc.) for said Horn's own use & benefit; and a payment Dec. 21 st 1822 to Benjamin Greene
The amount of the Execution on which I sold said Horn's right in equity was about $440 comprised of the following notes and balance of account, viz; one note given on settlement of account, composed of Goods, and some small payments for articles for said Horn's own use; one note dated July 19 th 1825 in favor of James Emery (Physician) for $44 54 / 100 ; and balance of account composed of Goods for said Horn's use. The right in equity I believe was sold for about $125. The balance, after discharging my demand I understand and believe was paid by Luther Goding, the Officer to D r Whiting Stevens and John Gower for debts previously contracted.
I believe the Items which compose my accounts against said Horn were for his own use, and the use of his Family.
The House (dwelling) on the abovenmentioned mortgage estate occupied and owned by said Horn was consumed by fire in 1822, I think. Said Horn is far advanced in years, and is considered unable to support himself, without his Family, which is composed of a Wife and

several children dependent on him November 21 st 1827
