I John H. Allison sheriff of the county of Lawrence Ky know of my own personal knowledge that William H. Kendrick the person referred to in this petition was a soldier of the 39th Ky Infty and that he was charged of with taking a canoe. I heard Capt Sowards of the 39th Ky Infty, give the above named Kendrick orders to take the canoe as it was loaded with goods and intended for the Enemy, and deliver the same to me as sheriff of Lawrence Co. to satisfy ^levy^ an attachment in the case of Sowards & Co against Robert Jackson & others.
