This day personally appeared before me, CHARLES H. BRAXTON, a Magistrate and Justice of the Peace for the County aforesaid, JAMES EDWARDS of the said County, age sixty four years, and made oath that he is well acquainted with THOMAS QUARLES, LATE of the COUNTY of KING WILLIAM and State aforesaid;.
That the said THOMAS QUARLES entered the Revolutionary Army either in the STATE or CONTINENTAL LINE. This deponent does not now distinctly recollect which, as a Lieutenant, and went to the NORTH with several other officers from the same County and when he returned from the NORTH the said QUARLES had been made a CAPTAIN. How long he remained in the army this deponent cannot say, but he recollected that he remained at the NORTH several years. This deponent never saw the Commission of CAPTAIN QUARLES, but after his return from the NORTH he was universally called CAPTAIN, and this deponent does not doubt that such was the fact..
THOMAS QUARLES married the aunt of this deponent NANCY BUTLER by whom he had one child called ALICE. ALICE QUARLES married a man named TARLETON JOHNSON, having first removed to the STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA. ALICE JOHNSON had only one child, a son whose name the deponent never heard, and deponent has understood that TARLTON JOHNSON and wife are both dead..
THOMAS QUARLES was for several years a DEPUTY CLERK in the office of KING WILLIAM COUNTY. This deponent was Deputy Sheriff in this County in the year 1796 and QUARLES was at that time acting as CLERK. He administered the oath of office in that year to this deponent. He continued in office several years afterwards and this deponent is confident that he DIED in the course of the year 1800 at what he cannot say, or about that time..
In Testimony whereof the said James Edwards has hereunto set his hand that this 29th day of January 1833.
