Peter Marsh & Gerrit Van Slyke (now resident on Onida
Reservation) being duly sworn, depose & say that they were
present & saw Jacob Reed subscribe the last mentioned
Certificate on the 7th day of December instant, & at the same
time heard the said Jacob Reed acknowledge that he had on
behalf of the Onida Nation given & entered into the foregoing
agreement or lease to & with the above named Joseph Mabee &
Jacob Schuyler and the deponents further say that the said
agreement as aforesaid was made by the consent & approbation of
the Onida Nation of Indians, as they have often heard sundry of
the same Nation confess & acknowledge; particularly the said
Peter Marsh says that early in the month of April last past,
Schenando, Ludwick, Anthony, Jacob Dackstedder, John Denny &
some others of the Chiefs of the said Nation, together with a
surveyor called upon the persons in the said lease or agreement
mentioned at their houses & offered & proposed to survey off
the said tract to the said persons, but the survey was
postponed for the reasons in the foregoing certificate of John
Reed mentioned. These Deponents further say that the above
named Joseph Mabee was actually resident on the said tract of
land (between the Chittelingo & the Military Tract of lands) on
the first of July 1794 & has occupied & improved thereon to
this time by the consent of the said Onida Nation. And these
Deponents further say that the said Jacob Schuyler, David
Schuyler Jun. & the said Peter & Gerrit occupied & improved the
said described piece of land before & on the first day of
January last past, & by the consent & approbation of the Onida
Nation and also that they are all of full age & have families
except the said David Schuyler Jun. But whether the dwelling
houses of the said persons (except the said Joseph Mabee) are
situated on the tract lately purchased of the Onida Nation,
these Deponents are ignorant, the line between the said tract &
Hardenburgh's location not being ascertained, & the houses
standing near the same. Conrad Klock, (resident on the Onida
Reservation) being duly sworn, says that the above named
persons have occupied & improved the tract of land above
described for more than one year last past by the consent &
approbation of the Onida Nation, as he verily believes.

belief of this deponent; having seen the said Indians receive
