I Asahel C. Washburn of Saffield, bon, of ben
ful age, lepore & say, that on the 7th day of
August A. 1838 I went to Windsor, Conn. & made
diligent search for records supposed to have
been kept by Rev. Theodore Hinsdale formerly a
settled minister in said Windsor. I wrote to the
present officiating minister & also to the
clerk of the Church of which Dr. Hinsdale
was formerly pastor. By said minister & clerk
were informed that it is not all the records kept by said Hinsdale
were upon loose scraps of paper, nearly all of
which have for many years been lost.
In searching all the Church Records that could
be found I could not find the record of a
single marriage by said Hinsdale, the he was
the pastor of that Church from 30 years
April 3rd 1765. I suppose he was L. and p. in
Hartford in 1755. L. 3rd 1765.

Sir,
The papers in support of the claim of Elizabeth Young, widow of Ebenezer Young deceased, have been examined and filed in this office.

The proof of the date of the marriage is not as satisfactory as might be produced. It may probably be shown by the register of marriages and births in possession of some of the family, or by some better record from him while in service; or it may be found on the Church records in Connecticut.

It should at least appear that no such documentary or record proof , after due diligence, has been found, before parol evidence should be deemed satisfactory

I am very respectfully
