I have known Sarah Brown ever since she was a girl, but I don’t know what date or year she was married to Eli Brown. I was not present at the wedding.

I don’t know when Eli Brown’s first wife died. And I can’t tell you the date of his death.

I don’t know how many children the client had by Eli Brown but I know when one of their children was born, as I was present at its birth.

I was present at the birth of Susanah Brown, daughter of Eli and Sarah Brown and said child was born June 2nd 1854 and she was born right at this place.

My daughter, Ellen, was born December 23rd, 1853 and Susanah Brown was born the June following.
