Related for Ketubot 56:4

תניא א"ר אלעזר ברבי יוסי מימי לא העדתי פעם אחת העדתי והעלו עבד לכהונה על פי העלו סלקא דעתך השתא ומה בהמתן של צדיקים אין הקב"ה מביא תקלה על ידם צדיקים עצמם לא כ"ש

Do you really think they raised [a slave to the priesthood through his testimony]! Now if the Holy One, blessed be He, does not bring a stumbling through the animals of the pious how much less through the pious men themselves?

Tosefta Ketubot

A man is believed to say, "My father said to me that this family is impure"; "This family is pure"; "We ate in the ketzitzah of Plonit [see Lieberman: a ceremony for when one of the men married a woman who was not fitting for him]"; "Ploni's teacher said to him, 'Go and immerse your terumah!'"; or "We used to bring terumot and tithes to Ploni"—they are believed to give to him [his portion] but not as a grounds to presume he is a priest [for the purpose of passing on that status to his children]. But [if they testified] "Others used to bring to him [his portion]", they are not believed (although, Ehrfurt: they are believed). If [they testified] "He was a Gentile and converted", "A slave and he was freed"—then these are not believed. They are not believed to say, "I remember that Ploni owed Plonit (Ehrfurt: Ploni) a maneh"; or "Ploni's path went through Ploni's field" since this is like monetary cases. Rabbi Yohanan ben Berokah says: They are believed.
