That the said Remember Baker who had frequently insisted
to have the Deponent adjudged to be whipped when the Deponent was dismissed threatened him and cursed him & promised
to punish him the Deponent if he should ever meet him & have
an opportunity. That when he the Deponent arrived at his own
house he found that the same Mobb or Company had been to his
House in his absence and taken of the Roof of his House, and
that he the deponent was informed and verily believes that only
the Interposition of some of his Friends prevented them from
burning the Roof of the House after it was taken off; That they
destroyed several Bushels of Corn, split a number of Boards,
and did him some other Damages. That he the deponent has
been informed that John Smith and Peleg Sunderland (both of
Socialborough) were the Captains or Leaders of the Mobb who
had been at his house and Benjamin Cooley and one Silvanus
Brown their Lieutenants or next in Command & mischief and
that the company then with them amounted to forty or fifty
armed men. And the deponent further saith that he verily

would be in their power; and that his Life would be in danger
