are substantial witnesses of the same stonery, both in the
field, and afterwards in the house that night, viz: one Mr.
Huzzy, son of a Counsellor there. He took up one that

Mr. Arthur Cook
Mr. Matt. Borden of Road Island..Mr. Oliver Hooton of Barbados, Merchant,

Mr. John Huzzey.
And the wife of the said Mr. Huzzy.'
