James Starr testifies to the claim of Jacob Harnage as follows:
I came to the Cherokee Nation West company on the same boat with Mr. Harnage in 1829-30 and left the Boat together at Van Buren Arkansas where the claimant left the Beaureau & Table in charge of Mr. Phillips. That place was called Phillip’s landing and we settled near neighbors together in the nation. I do not know of the claimant sending for them, but heard the claimant short time afterward say that he had sent for them, but did not get them, and I have never seen them about his house
