Sir,
In reply to the commissioners letter of June
8th 1850 in the case of Anna Osgood Dec, widow of Ebenezer Osgood under act of 7 July 1838. I herewith transmit to the department a certificate from the Secretary of the State of New Hampshire.  In order to show
that the records in his office of Capt Porter Kimball and of the Soldiers company his company in 1777.  Do not mention or show the residence of Capt Porter Kimball, or of 
his soldier, As requested by the Commissions letter of June  8th 1850.
In order to show that Capt Porters Kimball's 
Company was recruited,  in the District where
Osgood resided, you have at the department the affidavit of Dudley Smart (who was a fellow soldier and comrade with Osgood under Capt Gorder in 1776) who always knew Osgood
untill his death.  The witness states that on the
examination of Capt Porter Kimball's Pay Roll, he very well knew about twenty of Coph Kimball's Company who were residents of Epping and New Markett the adjoining
Towns, of Raymond, Osgood residence. 
The name of Ebenezer Osgood is not found on any New Hamp. [Hampshire] roll, except those of Capts Goden & Kimball, whose company
were recruited mostly in the immediate vicinity of Osgood's residence.
If the credibility of the witness is doubted,
reference may be had to the Hon C.W.H.  Peaslee me

I find Lieut. John McClary 
(of  Capt Porter Kimball's Company) was from Epsom in the Military District and almost immediate neighborhood of Osgood's residence.
to corroborate the correctness of the
witness statement I will state that I have been personally acquainted with some of the men whose names appear on Cspt. Kimball's roll, within twenty years. (who are now dead) who stated in the affidavits, that they were residents
Epping as is stated by the witness.  I hope the
additional evidence will be satisfactory to the
Department to identify the soldier named in the certificate filed of the war office.
