      1788 deposition of Joseph Perkins:

      I Joseph Perkins of Lawful age Testify and Say that I have been acquainted with Archibald Haney for Fifteen or Twenty years last part during the whole of the war with Great Britain. Archibald Haney acted the Part of a Friend to the British Government and ever declared himself such and a Subject and adherent to the King of Great Britain, and was always considered and taken to be what was called a Trory [sic] and a Refugee by both parties at War, he was always treated by the British Garrisson in this place as a Friend to them and a good Subject of the King of Great Britain. he took protection under the Fort in this place, and as I have understood since he lived on the Neck during the time the British troops were here and drew Rations for himself; indeed I am fully convinced he drew Rations for himself and Family the whole time of their tarry here. he was taken a Prisoner by the Americans and I Saw him said Haney and one John Lymburner Prisoners together aboard the American Privateer called the Hazard and I think they were both in Irons-Lymburner I am certain was, and that they both were Treated by the Americans as British Prisoners and looked upon by the American troops as Subjects to the King of England then at war with them, and that they were considered in the same light that the British troops themselves were-Haney by some means ran away from the Americans and got back to Fort George, but I know not how.
