Benjamin Lockett gave another deposition in the same case dated ambiguously August 1 and August 8, 1692, which he signed Ben Lockett. It is on page 334. It appears that Benjamin can write his own name in contrast to his brother James, who on August 1 gave a deposition in the same case and made a mark (I).
