County of Ulster

On this 17th day of January 1868 before me A.V.N. Elting, a Justice of the Peace within and for said County, personally appeared Mary B. Galisbee who being by me duly sworn deposes and says that she is the daughter of the Justice of the Peace who solemnized the marriage of Richard Oliver to Ann Johnson both of the Town of Hurley in said County that her father the said justice is childish and of unsound mind and memory and therefore not competent to swear to the said marriage that he made no record of said marriage, that she was present and saw her father the said Justice perform and marriage ceremony that she is the only witness living that was present that said Richard Oliver was married to said Ann Johnson on the 1st day of January 1854 at her father’s house in the Town of Hurley in said County and State New York. That she is in no matter interested in the prosecution of this claim. Mary Gillispie

Subscribed and sworn to before me this 17th day of September 1868 and I certify that the affiant is worthy of belief, that I am not interested in this claim. And I hereby certify that the word “Johnson” blotted and written over before execution.
