Alachua County            Personally Appeared before me in a formal 
manner John G. Tyner and after being duly sworn says that he has been 
acquainted with Capt. Gabriel Priest for several years past and gone 
and is of the opinion said Priest is a man of honesty and integrity 
free in his intinments and charitably in his disposition and this 
deponent says he is well acquainted with said Priests citation as to 
property and his losses in the late distressing times with the hostile 
Indians and having carefully examined said Priests charges against the 
United States for injuries done the said Priest by the Semanole Indians 
on or about the 6th day of December 1835 in the County of Alachua and 
Territory of Florida and this deponent humbly concurs the said charges 
to be reasonable and just
