State of North Carolina
Franklin County


On this the 18th day June A.D. 1841, personally appeared before
me one of the Justices of the Peace for the county aforesaid and one of the
Justices of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions of the same, Robert G.
Jeffries of lawful age, and made oath on the Holy Evangelist of Almighty God,
that he has frequently heard Richard Rives and Nathan Jean, both old
revolutionary soldiers and pensioners now dead, [smudged, unreadable print]
Solomon Bibby and say that he was a soldier with them in the revolutionary
war, and that he was at the battle of Guilford with them, and at other places.

Robert Jeffries
