Sir,

The papers of Mrs Polly Hazen widow of Andrew Hazen accompanying your letter of the 4th inst I have the honor to inform you have been examined and filed. The claimants statement with respect to her husband's services in Col Webbs regiment is founded for ought that appears to the contrary upon a certificate of the comptroller of Connecticut: It is therefore required by the rule that her husband be identified as the soldier described in the certificate by a witness who can specify the name of the Captain and the period. If Capt Dana had the command of a company of 8 or 9 months men at the period referred to in the claimants declaration that fact will appear by the settlement of his account, which settlement or evidence thereof will be found in the Office of the Comptroller whose certificate to that effect should be furnished.

I am very respectfully your obt st,

Dear Sir,

When your papers came to hand I was about on a journey to Massachusetts and did not return until about the 10 Dec ad have since attempted to do your business, and taking the affidavits of the Hazan family I found that Mrs Hazan had made a mistake as to the residence of her husband, his residence was in Lebanon a town adjoining Norwalk Conn and some of the witnesses were not present at the marriage of Mrs. Hazan stated to you, and I have made some of the affidavits a new and some of them I have altered by noting the alterations. Esq Ladd aft I did not took he said he was not acquainted with the family at [unk]  a day, but his wife was a sister to Andrew Hazen and although I would take his in stead of Esq Ladds, I have also added the affidavit of Silas Lawn who was present at the marriage, I have substituted the aft of Judge Fatcher the Clerk of South Hur instead of the [unk] of Grand Isle, for that the work Island was at that time in our town by the name of South Hur, I am afraid there will be something wrong, of so please send them back with instructions and I will try again or to my amount I believe $5.00 will pay me and the Justice for our trouble.

Yours respectfully,

Dear Sir

Will you kindly give me the Revolutionary service and genealogical data of Andrew Hazen of Conn & Vt whose widow Polly Hazen of Grand Isle Vt received a pension.

Please be explicit in the matter as Conn. Rev. records give the service of more than one Andrew Hazen, and it is necessary to separate their services. It is possible there was a pension or land grant for this other Andrew of Conn, North Hero, Vt and Ohio. If so will you not kindly give me his military record also. Born in Conn. May 22, 1764, died 1836. His 3d wife was Sara (Sally) Hamblin.
