Dr Sir
The Children of Oliver Parish deceased wish you to take charge of their case & cause the enclosed papers to be referred to the Committee on Revolutionary Pensions of which Mr. Wardwell is Chairman. When sd Parish returned from Washington in the summer of 1832 he told me that he expected soon to receive the benefits of the Bill reported for his relief. It seemed however that it was not acted upon after he left Washington & he died not long after his return. There can I think be no doubt that his children are entitled to the amount due him at the time of his death. A special law in this case is necessary to authorize the children to receive the arrearages of Pension due to their Father from January 1 1830 to August 8 1832 at the rate of Eight dollars per month.
Yours respectfully & cordially
J. D. Woodward.
You may hand this letter to Mr. Wardell, & request him to give the subject his attention.

OLIVER PARISH -- REPRESENTATIVES OF.
[To accompany bill H. R. No. 270.]
MARCH 8, 1842.

Mr. FORNANCE, from the Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, submitted the following
REPORT:
The Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, to whom was referred the petition of the children and legal representatives of Oliver Parish, deceased, have re-examined the same, and have adoped [sic] the bill and report made at the 24th Congress:
JANUARY 3, 1837.

Mr. FRY, from the Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, to which was referred the petition of he heirs and legal representatives of Oliver Parish, late of the town of Plattsburg, in the State of New York, praying to be allowed a pension due their deceased father at the time of his death, for services rendered in the revolutionary war, reported:
That the said Oliver Parish, in his lifetime, to wit, on the 27th of December, 1831, made an application for a pension, by his petition, wherein he states, upon oath, that he was then about seventy-three years of age; that, in the spring of 1778, he enlisted for one year in Captain David Umstead's company, belonging to Colonel Roger Enos's regiment of infantry, in the Connecticut State line, and joined the United States army at White Plains, marched from thence to West Point, remained at West Point about four months, was then marched to Horseneck, remained on service in that neighborhood for four months; while on piquet guard accidentally received an injury, which produced a lameness that still remained; continued till spring, when his term of service expired, when he was discharged and taken home. Believes the whole regiment were discharged at the same time, but thinks not by a written discharge; he knows for himself, and thinks and believes the whole rank and file of the regiment, "clothed, armed, and equipped themselves;" and, after recovering from his injury, he served another tour of nine months, as a substitute for his brother, &c.
Barnabas Berry, of Franklin county, New York, testified, "That, in the spring of 1778, Oliver Parish and himself both enlisted under Captain David Umstead, at the town of Kent, in the State of Connecticut, for one year, and joined the American army at White Plains, and both of them served out their terms, and were duly and honorably dismissed by Roger Enos, colonel commanding our regiment." The justice of the peace before whom the foregoing deposition was taken certifies that he was well acquainted with the witness, and that he was a man of truth and respectability. This paper is also authenticated by the clerk of Franklin county court.

Rep. No. 301.

Upon this, the Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, on the 19th March, 1832, reported a bill (No. 494 of the House bills) granting a pension to the said Oliver Parish, of eight dollars per month, to be calculated from the 1st day of January, 1830. This bill was not reached, and on the 8th day of August, 1832, the petitioner died, leaving no widow, but the following-named children, as appears from the records of the court of common pleas for Clinton county, New York, to wit: Zenus Parish, Oliver Parish, junior, Clinton Parish, Sally Bullis, Cynthia Dustin, Eliza Parish, and Betsey Parish, all of full age, who now claim the pension due their said father. The committee are of opinion that the said Oliver Parish, in his lifetime, had made out a clear case; that he had proven the services for which he claimed a pension, beyond a doubt; that he clearly had a right to receive a pension from the Government; that he had done all he could do, and all that was necessary, to establish that right; and that at the time of his death he was fully entitled to the same. The committee, therefore, report a bill in favor of the heirs and legal representatives of said Oliver Parish, for the amount which would have been due the deceased, under the act of 7th June 1832.

(Rep. No. 395.)

Colonel Marinus Willett, and, under successive enlistments, continued to serve in that regiment until 1784, when he was discharged.
The statement of the petitioner, as to his circumstances, is, "having become infirm, and having but a small property, and no real estate, he prays for a pension which will enable him to live comfortably." The committee report a bill for his relief.

JUVENAL WINTER.
The Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, to which was referred the petition of Juvenal Winter, report:
That the petitioner enlisted on the first of March, 1780, for nine months, in a company commanded by Captain McGregor, in Colonel Durkee's regiment in the Connecticut line on the continental establishment, and served therein until the month of December following, when he was discharged. His property is certified to be worth forty dollars.
The committee report a bill for his relief.

OLIVER PARISH.
The Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, to which was referred the petition of Oliver Parish, report:
That the petitioner, in the spring of 1778, enlisted for one year in a company commanded by Captain Olmstead, in a regiment commanded by Colonel Roger Enos, and served at West Point and Horse Neck. During the period of his service on a picquet, he received an injury which lamed him so as to render him unfit for duty; and, in that condition, he remained with the regiment until the expiration of the year, when he was discharged. This statement is supported by a witness whose character is satisfactorily established, and who served with the petitioner. The petitioner is utterly destitute, and is dependent upon charity for subsistence.
The committee report a bill

JAMES TUNEUR.
The Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, to which was referred the petition of James Tuneur, report:
That the petitioner enlisted on the first of April, 1778, for nine months, in a company of the New York State troops, commanded by Captain John
Page 34

(Rep. No. 395.)

Bell, in the regiment commanded by Colonel Wessingfelt, and served therein until the 1st day of January, 1779, when he was discharged. The statement made by the petitioner is sustained by the affidavits of two of his fellow soldiers, and by a certificate of Resolvert T. Van Houtes, who was the lieutenant of Captain Bell's company, who states that this company joined Colonel Graham's regiment, was mustered by Major Varick, muster master of the United States' army, and was commanded by United States' officers during the whole nine months. The petitioner needs the public assistance.
The committee report a bill for his relief.

JOSEPH HEWS
The Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, to which was referred the petition of Joseph Hews, report:
That the petitioner enlisted on the 1st of April, 1778, in a company under the command of Captain Nelson, in Colonel Bedell's regiment, for the period of one year, and served out the full time of his enlistment. Before this enlistment, the petitioner had served for short periods upon different occasions, and was engaged in the battle of Bennington. Colonel Bedell's regiment was not upon the continental establishment in the year '78, and, for that reason, his application was rejected at the War Department. The petitioner is very poor.
The committee report a bill for his relief.

PETER VAN ORDEN.
The Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, to which was referred the petition of Peter Van Orden, report:
That the petitioner entered the service in 1775, and served during that year, and the year following in the regiment commanded by Colonel Fell. In 1777, he enlisted in a company commanded by Captain Lawrence, in the regiment in the service of the State of New York commanded by Colonel James M. Hughes, and served therein six months; and he afterwards enlisted in the regiment under the command of Colonel Ward, but he is unable to state the period of his service therein.
The petitioner was engaged in the affair at Paulus Hook, under Major Lee, in which he was wounded and made prisoner. He was afterwards exchanged, and enlisted in a company commanded by Captain Outwater, where he continued to serve until the close of the war. The petitioner is very poor and infirm.
The committee report a bill for his relief.
