Sir
The claim of Ichabod Woodworth
has been examined & suspended. It appears
that he was but 14 years old at the period
of the first term of his alleged service &
15 at that of the other- No service alleged to have been rendered at that age can be admitted without direct proof- It is not sufficient that he produces evidence that he was absent at the time of the alleged service & reputed to be engaged in the service - 
The witnesses should prove the entering into the service in a designated company & Regt
& the duration of each term-
Some explanation of the delay in making
his application should be given-
Wm Lownsberry asserts a claim for service
under Capt Saml Sheldon in Col Sheldons
regiment from 1 Jany 79 to the close of the
war. There was no captain bearing that
name in that rest nor is his own
