The Deposition of Thomas Davis aged 35 yeares Saith
that about two yeares and a half agoe your Deponent went to
Edward ffurlongs house, the said ffurlong was glad to see me
& said, oh Thomas I am undone, for John Kirk and his family
will never lett me rest till I sett my hand to paper, and give
all that I have, and with that he went further saying he should
be undone, for had they lett him alone to stand the bargain he
made with me for half his land, he had been happy, and
