Camp Jackson, Mississippi Territory, e5th
March. 1928.
Being info, med by Gen. Jackson that he was
summoned as garnishee, to say what money or
effect he had in his possession that properly
belonged to Aaron Burr, and al the same time
being requested of the General, 10 make state
ment IF IA Is that had come to my knowledge
rssprct citing money matters between himself and
Aaron Burr
In compliance with which / do say. that
some time in the year 1906, Ito the best oil
my recolleclion,) Aaron Burr was engaged in
an expedition or enterprise down the Mlssls-
si2pi, and which he said he was authorized to
do by government; and for the purpose Of pro.
curing provisions and boa S far his contemplate
ed plans, he, the said Burr, did forward a sum
Of between three and four thousand dollars in
Kentucky bank notes. to Gen. JAG kson, with a
III, n. n
cha Sc, the amour: in boats and provisions. Al
the time Gen. Jackson received the sum alluded
to, was connected will. him in mercantile
business, al the Clover Bottom, Tennessee, and
on ;he receipt thereof, the General shew me
his instruc tons, aud handed the money or notes
over 10 me, with request that would transact
| business, for MIR. Burr, & in behalf Of the mer-
camille firm above alluded TO, | did so; and
made contracts for Several boats fer MIR. Burr
when report reached Tennessee, that his pros
iccts or plans, was not, nor would not, be Coun-
yenanced by government. Or hearing this ru-
mour, by and with the advice Of Gen. Jackson,
declined making contracts Tor MIR. Burr any
further than had been done before that time
and still held in my possession considerable
part Of the sum frs, remiued by Mr.. Burr TO
Gen. Jackson Some time after that, when
Mr. Burr came on to Tennessee, on his Is y
down the river, he stopped at The Clover Bottom,
near which place Law some OF the boa's tina,
had contracted for his use, and where he fitted
himself out for his voyage down the river
! The report Of his acting in opposition TO the
| wishes OF government, prevented his procuring
supplies of provision, and as such, he had no,
use for all the boats tha, had been made for
him-,wo believe was the number he made
use Of for himself and those with him. The
balance Of the boats, the number do not recol-
lect, was left by Mr.. Burr; and afterwards, by
virtue Of his order in favor Of Patian Anderson,
the boats, or the proceeds thereof, was handed
or paid over so him, Mr.. Anderson. When
Mr.. Burr was a, the Glover Bottom, Gen. Jack
son and myself made settlement with him the
said Burr, and after charging him with the
boats and other articles furnished him for his
voyage down the river, returned him all the
balance of his money, in the very same notes
| FIRST sent on by him, and the accounts was then
completely closed and paid on both sides as |
| understood it after closing The accounts, there
were some few articles With which the firm Of
Jackson s HuIchings (and which before said
was concerned I'M furnished Mr.. Burr that
he left unpaid when he left the State, and whic h
is yet unpaid, so far as ever come to my know
ledge. l recollect after Mr.. Burr left The
State, that Gen. Jackson as endorser for him,
had 10 pay FIVE hundred dollars or there bouts,
for him the said Burr, on some transaction
that the General perhaps had before thought
was settled, and for which l ne yer knew OF the
Gen. receiving remuneraiion-Nor do l believe
he has received pay ment therefor Inever knew
of Gen. Jackson having any other monied trans.
actions with Mr.. Burr, but those above stated,
and on which l verify believe That Burr is in
his debt, at this time-the lapse of time have
been very considerable, and the notice, for this
statemen, very short, and which is made with,
