APPENDIX A
(TEAHSLATION]
In compliance with your official order dated last
July 27, in which (Your Lordship^ orders me to investigate
certain matters relative to the marriage and character
of Ellis Bean, I have taken the depositions of two
persons in regard to the matter set forth therein. One
of the aforesaid persons, Martin Allen, is a settler in
this colony, and a respectahle and honest man; the other.
Sterling C. Robertson, is an Anglo-American from the
state of Tennessee, a very respectable and well known man.
Iv
Since Bean's family lives on the //Nechez River,
fifty leagues from here, I have not been able to find here
many men who have knowledge of him; for this reason, I
have not taken more depositions on .the matter.
God and Liberty.
San Felipe de Austin, Au^st 28, 1826.
Citizen Jose Antonio Saucedo,
Chief of the Department.
