That as I have been informed [I] was born at said number four about four or five years after my father moved there -- being now twenty-one years of age. -- That I lived with my Father until I was seven years of age -- and then came to Cape Elizabeth to live with one of my uncles.

Benjamin Thrasher Dyer."
