      [581/603]
      I Hartley Gove of Bath in the County of Lincoln & State of Maine Merchant, aged Twenty Five years, testify & say that on the fifth day of November A 1817 one Samuel Johnson was indebted to me in the sum of four hundred sixty eight dollars & eighty cents, and being then unable to make payment offered the names of Thomas Trask Junr & Jonathan Trask as his sureties for the above sum, which were accepted & a note taken signed by said Samuel Johnson, Thomas Trask Jr & Jonathan Trask payable to the Rev Kiah Bailey, who was then my Guardian, not long after this Nicholas L Metchell Esq became my Guardian & the note was endorsed over by said Bailey, and an action commenced upon it by said Mitchell as my guardian, and the property of Thomas Trask Jr & Jonathan Trask was attached on the writ; and judgment was recovered on said action, at the Court of Common Pleas within & for the County of Lincoln, at the April Term of said Court AD 1820 against said Johnson, Thomas Trask Jr & Jona Trask for the sum of $552.55 & an execution issued on said Judgment which was levied on the real estate of said Thomas Trask Junr & Jonathan Trask on the 23d of May 1820 - the costs of which levy being $35.03 making my demand at that time $587.58. The whole of which was levied upon the real estate of said Thomas Trask Jr & Jonathan Trask & took all the real estae of said Thomas Trask Jr of much value; said Thomas was unable to redeem said real estate, and I have since sold it to another person. I further say that said Johnson, at the time of the levy was and ever since has been very poor & unable to refund any part of said demand and I verily believe that the levy of my execution on said Thomas Trask's property as aforesaid has so reduced him to poverty.
