Transcription of an affidavit by Supplina Judd for John P. Hamilton

Glen · March 22, 2006

This is a transcription of the affidavit provided by Supplina Judd vouching for the citizenship of his nephew, John P. Hamilton. Actually now that I read it closely... it appears to be an example affidavit provided by John and enclosed in the envelope with the other pages. It's not likely that the affidavit was returned as we believe Supplina Judd was dead by this time. We believe that the letter and sample affidavit wound up in the possession of Duron Hamilton, John P. Hamilton's nephew who was living near Waitsburg, Wa. Since Duron was receiving letters from John in the same period, the small town postman may have helped to make the connection between the two families. It's interesting that John notes his birth date and place and his mother's name, Althah Judd Hamilton, and Supplina Judd's relation to Altha(h) as her brother. This transcription was likely done by the late, Joyce (Stover) Hamilton. In making photo copies of these documents Joyce included the envelope it came in along with a letter from John P. Hamilton to Duron Hamilton in Waitsburg in January of 1894. Joyce's husband, Gordon Hamilton, is a grandson of Duron Hamilton.
