Washington County Kentucky Circuit Court
I took the liberty of making spelling corrections but tried to leave their speech dialect in tact. Underlined words are guesses or best attempts at words I was not certain of. This was very difficult to read in spots. Anything that is in ( ) is something I added to the original document. The deposition of Robert H. Fogle taken at the house of John Calhoun in Springfield on the 27th day of May to read as evidence in a suit now depending in the Washington Circuit Court between Joseph Fogle, Plaintiff and the heirs of Adam Fogle, Defendants.
This deponent being of full age and first sworn as the Law directs---- test(imony) rejected? by Plaintiff
