Mrs. Cromlow was a pensioner under the five year act and her husband was also a pensioner.

Should she be entitled to a pension please enclose the certificate to me at this office - if not be so good as to inform me what is wanting to render her application succesful.

Sir: I received a communication from the department a few days since stating that a copy of the Registry of Births in the family Bible, referred to in the affidavit of George Cromlow, would more satisfactorily establish the fact of the marriage of Ann Cromlow, an applicant for a pension.  

In conformity with such intimation, I herein enclose a copy of the record, properly authenticated, which I trust will be sufficient to make out the old woman's case. With the testimony of her sister Mrs. Lathan and the reputation of marriage as made out by adequate testimony, I hope the department will deem the proofs sufficient.  The Testament from which the copy is made is unquestionably the family record.

If a certificate is granted please enclose it to me at this place.  Respectfully, Charles A. Black

Sir,
I enclose the original Record of Births, taken
from the Family Testament, in the matter of the
application of Ann Cromlow for a Pension.

I regret having given the department so much
trouble, but the old woman was unwilling to
have the page torn from her testament, and
I therefore sent the affidavits instead of the
original. I hope this may be satisfactory.
Taken in connexion with the deposition of
her sister Mrs. Lacham as well as of [illegible] and Hall who know them upwards of forty years.

I herein on close you the petition and Documentoin 
evidence of Ann Cromlow, the widow of an old Soldier, now applying for a Pension.

In reference to the matter
I may be permitted to say that the proof
of marriage is as clear as would be required 
in a court of Law. The record it is new, is
wanting , nor can it be procured, as will be
perceived by the letter from Rev. M Schaeffer
of Baltisnow to whom I applied the leter
is not under under oath- but I think you will find the evidence safficient without that formality.

In addition to her own offrdavit, is the acporition her sister Mrs. Latharn residing in Laneytown MO which the concurring testimony of Hall Yeager and her son, leave the fact of marriage buy and doult , Mrs. Latharn, her
Page 54

sister, without the possibility of collusion
depose to facts that can only be courerterst
with the caeutity of Mrs. Cromlow, and the fact of her marriage with Caleb Cromlow,  although I am not on the witroup ' stana, I may say, that I am more thoroughly convinced of the truth of the old woman's halerment from the fact of having acted as her husbands attorney to receive  her pension, for many years before his death.

When her affidarit was pufraud, the onfinal certificale could not be found- it is since found and appended as here in closed .

I hope and trust that the old woman may be successfull- I am satisfied her case is a good one.

Her husband I believe served the entire period of the war. 

as the Legislaters of thir State will adjourn on the 16th inst-it will greatly oblige me if the Department can examine the case immidatily; and if a pension is granted
Page 55

send the certifricate to me as this place.
After the 16th. inss- may address will be, " Waynesburg, Green County Pennsylvania." 
                                  Yours very respectfully

was no records made of these matters by him that he is aware of, not until my Grandfather took charge of the cingnegatier which was in 1786.
He has searched his books since that time to 1790 without finding any account if such marriage. He has also had the records of Balti County, court examiner in hopes of discovering
when the license was taken out, but with no better success though then is a penir from Oct. 1786 to Nov. 87about one year for which time the records, have been lost, having been removed to Ruitentown in this state during the war and never returned. 

It is even possible that no license was ever taken out, as it was then and is now customary in the German churches to publish bands of marriages between parties a certain length of time after which they can be legally untied without a license which may have been the case in

I certify that I have had a conversation with Cutlip Crumluff, an applicant for a pension under the act of Congress of the 18th of March 1818 & 1 of may 1820. And from circumstances that he has mentioned to me which took place in the army at different times
I am convinced that he did serve in the Penna line of the Army of the revolution & on continental establishment for the space
of two years and that he was in several battles & skirmishes that was fought which he has mentioned to me has satisfied me that he has a knowledge of thing that took place that no person but one who was present would be likely to have any knowledge of. One thing he mentioned as a very striking proof of his having been in the service, he says he
was at the Town of Lancaster in the State of Penna with the troops guarding the British prisoners at a time that a troop of horse came to that place to escort an officer of the British army who was selected or rather by lot was to be given up and to be executed in retaliation
for the murder of a Capt Huddy by a Capt Lipencot of the the refugees, application having been made by Gen. Washington
to the British Genl to deliver up Lipencut which was refused, they were directed to draw lots or otherwise one would be selected, a 
lot was then drawn and it was the lot of a Capt Asgil, but the said Crumluff does not know what became of him after he was taken from Lancaster-- I have a knowledge of the affair of
Capt Asgil being taken to Genl Washington head quarters & being more than once taken out to be executed & respited by the Comr
in Chief and finally was reprieved by the request of the Court of France.

(illegible).              March 6 1847
I enclosed on yesterday the Petition
and documents of Ann Cromlow
widow of an old soldier for a
Pension. 
I omitted to state yesterday, 
that the application merely mentions
"the Act of 1838 and its supplements
thereunto"- or language to that effect. 
When I prepared her papers, before 
leaving home, I thought it was not 
Important to name the Act of 1843 and 
1844. Indeed, I had not the acts before 
me, and consequently could not name
the acts or dates. I merely followed
the forms furnished by the Dept- referring
to the supplements. 
I hope this will be sufficient 
however.    (illegible) respectfully
J. L. Edwards Esq.    Charles A Black
