March 90, 1918.
Camp Jackson, Mississippi Territory a5M March,
Being informed by General Jackson that he was
summoned as garnishee, to say what money or ef |
lects he had in his possession that properly belonged
to Aaron Barr, and at the same time being reques-
ted by the General, to make statement OF facts
that had come to my knowledge respecting money
matters between himself and Aaron Burr.
In compliance with which l do say, that some
time in the year 8O6 Ito the best of my recollec
ton, Aaron Burr was engaged in an expedition or
enterprise down the Mississippi, and which he said
he was authorized to do by government and for the
purpose Of procuring provisions and boats for his
contemplated plans, he the said Burr, did forward
sum Of between three and four thousand dollars IN
Kentucky bank notes 10 General Jackson, with re-
quest that he would procure for him, by purchase,
the amount in boats and provisions. At the time
General Jackson received the sum alluded to, was
connected with him in mercantile business, at the
Clover Bottom, Tennessee, and on the receipt there
Of the General shew me his instructions, and hand
! ed the money notes over to me, with request
that | would transact the business, for Mr. Burr,
and in behalf of the mercantile firm above alluded
to, did so and made contracts for several boats
for Mr.. Burr when report reached Tennessee, that
his projects plans, was not, nor would not, be
| countenanced by goyernment-On hearing this ru-
mour, by and with the advice of General Jackson,
declined making contracts for Mr.. Burr any further
than had been done before that time; and still held
ia my possession considerable part of the sum first
RENTED by Mr. Burr, to General jackson Some
time after that, when Mr.. Burr came on to Ten
nessee, on his way down the river he stopped at
the Clover Bottom. which place lay some OF the
boats that 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 wish
es of government prevented his procuring supplies
of provision and as such, he had not use for all
!. the boats that had been made for himtwo be-
, lieve was the number he made of for himself
and those with him. The balance of the boats,
= the number do not rccoect, was left by Mr. Burr;
and afterwards, by virtue of his order in favor OF
Pattan Anderson, the boats, or the proceeds thereof
i was handed or paid over to him, Mr.. Anderson
= Uhee Mr.. Barr uas at The Clover Bottom, Genera
jackson and myself made a settlement Nth him, th'
: sad Bur-; and after charging him with the boats
anu luTUSlleu Nun l's voyage uUNI
the river returned him all the balance of his mo
ney, in the very notes first sent on by him. and
the accounts was then completely closed and paid
on both sides as understood it. After closing the
counts there were some few articles with which the
firm of Jackson and iutchngs (and which before
c said concerned in furnished Mr. Burr that he
: left unpaid when he left the State, and which is ye
S unpaid, so far ever come TO my knowledge.
t, recoect after Mr. Burr left the State, that Genera
Is jackson as eadorser for him had to pay five hun
dred dollars or whereabouts, tor him the said Burr
d on some transaction that the General perhaps hat
l. before thought was settled, and for which never
" knew of the General receiving rea1a0lerati0n-No
do believe he has received payment therefor
h never knew of Gen Jackson having any other mon
led transactions with Mr. Burr, but those above sta
! ted, and on which verify believe that Burr is il
his debt at this time-'rhe lapse of time has beef
very considerable, and the notice for this statemen
r very short and which is made without reference Il
e any memorandums or dates, and as to the time
ID am not positive | am correct, but otherwise thi
statement is substantially correct, and fairly stated
r, to the best of my knowledge and belief.
