STATE OF NEW YORK
COUNTY OF OTSEGO, SS:
 
I, Arthur A. Pope, a Notary Public in and for the County and State aforesaid do hereby certify that, on the 23rd day of February, 1905, John Lunn, of the Town of Pittsfield, N.Y., has this day produced before me a book labeled and purported to be a Holy Bible, and in which is contained what purports to be a family record.
The title pages show the publication of said work at Edinburgh by Sir D. Hunter Blair and J Bruce,
Title pages bear date 1814.
In this record appears the following entry;
John Lunn, born 6th Sept 1838
No erasures of interlinertations or alterations appear in said record.
I further certify that from the appearance of said writing, I believe the entries therein to have been made about the time of the dates given.
That said family record purports to give the names and dates of birth of the father, mother, and all of the brothers and sisters of said John Lunn, I believe to be genuine.
The Post Office Address of said John Lunn is Edmeston, N.Y., R.F.D. No. 1.
Given under my hand and official seal the day and year first above written.
