DEPOSITION
of Jonathan Platts that going to Haverhill when Richard Longhorne was sick,
with John Pickard, he left the latter on this side the river and went over with
the daughter of Richard Longhorne to see him and told him his brother Pickard
was on the other side. He told Deponent that he was very glad of it, for he had
a great desire to speak with him, that he knew not how God might dispose of him
and he desired Deponent to come to him again when his brother being with him,
and he, having told his mind to his brother Pickard, the latter told Longhorne
that he would relate what he said to Deponent for fear of spending him.
Concerning his children's disposal, John Pickard said to leave them to the
disposal of their Grandmother to which Longhorne replied that he would and also
to their two Aunts, and that he would have them advise with Goodwife Bayly who
was a good woman, whom he believed loved them Well. This was about three days
before he died. John Pickard affirmed the same.
