I have a copy of an indictment for John Case during the October 1826 Term
in Hunterdon Co, NJ as follows:

State vs John Case, son of Peter,File #3269

Pleaded not guilty May Term 1827

The document reads:

County of Hunterdon upon their oath and affirmation those who were affirmed
severally alleging themselves conscientiously scrupulous of taking an oath.
