I am the father of Wesly Miller who get some a dram at Johnathan Wesle Roley's sometime in the winter of 1863-4 and for which the said Raley was fined -- My boy had the appearance at the time of being twenty one years of age and not one man in fifty would have Judged him for less -- Mr Roley was keeping tavern at the time and at the March term of the Ohio Circuit Court ^1864^ was fined therefor, that is for letting my son have the dram Before that I had drank at the bar with my son and had said to Mr Roley who is and was a poor man, that if any of my family called for anything to let them have it -- My son hardly ever drinks anything, that time had been driving a wagon and the day was wet and under these circumstances get the whiskey -- Roley was an honest man and law abiding one --
