Personally appeared before me Cornelius Nevitt one of the Magistrates assigned to keep
the peace in & for the said District Moses Mobley who on being duly sworn according to law
deposes & says, that he is now about 76 years of age. That he was long acquainted with Daniel Mabry a revolutionary Soldier. That he, this deponent was at the wedding of the said Daniel Mabry which took place in March 1788. That the said Daniel Mabry married the daughter of William Mobley the uncle of this deponent. The wife of the said Daniel Mabry being a near
relative of this deponent, he has often spoken of & heard spoken of the date of the marriage and it thus became fixed in his memory. The marriage ceremony was performed in presence of this deponent by the Rev. Dr. William Woodward -- who died many years ago. The marriage took
place in Fairfield District at the House of the said William Mobley. He does not believe that any record of the marriage was ever made, as it was not customary to do so in the family as far as this deponent knows or believes -- nor does he know of anyone else now alive that was present at the said wedding except himself. The wife of the said Daniel Mabry was named Louisa Mobley.
Sworn to & subscribed before made the 28th May 1846.
