residence of John Witmoyer, in the up

township right for the sale Of patent

the man on. He told the agent to pre-

the agent by saying he would just read it,

together they carried the patent right
man TO the horse trough in the barnyard,
where they baptized him; then they

and not the sole author of the celebrated
Declaration of Independence, attributed
to him solely.

"Adams was the most distinguished
