Banyar declares that Cornelius Clopper, John Richard, and John Clopper appeared before him and swore that they saw Philip Livingston sign his will while he was still alive and of sound mind. They therefore declare that the will dated the 1 July 1748 is the true will of Philip Livingston. This is followed by another statement dated the 5 July 1748 in which Banyar declares that 5 executors of the will of Philip Livingston appeared before him and swore to execute and perform the said will.
