In complyance to the requisitions contained in your communication of the 27th Nov. last I herewith send you the best evidence that I believe can be obtained in relation to the
marriage of Bridget Deyo Widow of Abraham
Deyo deceased late a pensioner of the United States, the record of Marriages appear to have been partially kept during the revolutionary war and the person (William Deyo) who has
sworn to the annexed affidavit is perhaps the only person living who was present at the time the marriage ceremony was performed

The evidence in relation to the records of the church I have with the assistance of the present Clergyman made a thorough search to no effect I hope therefore it may prove satisfactory to the department and if so please
return your reply to me
