Affidavits, 1833.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/86138973

Affidavits filed in a suit in the New York Court of Chancery by de Caters and his wife Jeanne Antoinette against Vincent Le Ray de Chaumont and Samuel Kanady. The first is the statement of Henry Nixon concerning the date of death of his mother-in-law, Mary White Morris, widow of financier Robert Morris. It is followed by an authentication by Judge Molton C. Rogers of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and another by William Duane, prothonotary of the court, attesting to Rogers's identity.
