Sir,
Your letter of the writing in relation to the claim of Rhoda Hinman died says that because the
certificate of the Secretary of Vermont was in possession of the claimant before the declaration was made the applicant cannot receive the benefit of the service of Thomas Hinman, under satisfaction wide identifying the soldier with her husband he produced evidence herewith the affidavit of John Allen one of our respectable citizens showing I hope satisfactorily that Thomas Hinman the husband of Rhoda & father of the applicant, by his own repeated declaration, was a resident of Wallingford Vermont yr 1777 about 10 years & that he served them in the any of the Revolution. 
The certificate of the Secretary of Vt shows that the service was performed by Thomas Hinman of Wallingford I  enclose also a deed which purports to have been duly acknowledged and recorded, from one John Clerk to Thomas Hinman -the affi-death of Ebenezer Allen the husband of the claim and to show that Nos Hinman in the deed being the fate of his wife the claimant minor
son for what it is with Mr. Allen is as
respectable a man as any in his term-
I beg to call your attention to a deed what
accompanied the papers & which was sent for
the purpose of identifying the hand writing
Page 33

of Thomas Hinman in regard to his marriage
This deed has the name of Thomas Hinman-
as subscribing witness. -I believe that year
will not doubt from the evidence but that there was a Thomas Himan who resided in Wallingford Vermont and that he was the soldier who performed the Services named in the certificate of the authority of Vermont. The evidence of John Allen and the Deed sent herewith I hope will prove satisfactory that Thomas Hinman, the
husband of Rhoda and father of the claim
and did live in Wallingford in the time of
the Revolution we find him holding no estate
them as early as 1784. Mr Allen says that the
Hinman was commissioned in 1787 as Lieut in
the Militia of Vermont, which commission he has
& which I will send to you of the evidence have
with is not satisfactory. If further proof
is required to those that this Thomas Hinman
lived in Wallingford of the time the same were
rendered is shown by the certificate of the authority of Vt. I think I can procure such proof but if it is required to give evidence by some person or persons who served with him I think that it may be in possible to find any person
living who can testify to it - It is not probable
that there were two persons of the same man
now in Wallingford Mr Allen came to me with her story of her father history
Page 34

and services in February last. She was quite
certain that her father served one year while
he lived in New York State and this Tallmadga
was the name of one of his officers and Root
was the name of the 2 sgt - and that after
he remain to Wallingford her preform & send this survivors-On the 15th February last I proceed and examined  two of the errors in Albany and in the 14 May.
I write to the authority of Vermont for an
 examination of the evidences thereof- All I know the subject was what Mr & Mrs Allen told me. I have never yet advocated a claim to
pension which I had not good now to
believe to be judge and in and are with
the law I hope I shall never be left
to pursue any such course

Sir,
I enclose herewith the application of Laura
Allen, the daughter only child of Thomas
& Rhoda Hinman, for the man of pension due said Rhoda under act July 4 1836 to 4 March 1831 to July 27 1842 the day of her death - Thomas Hinman served one year in Capt. Tallmadgen Company New York continental Line I have not be able to find his name Allen
my, but there is no doubt of his having
done this service. This service was rendered
while he lived at a place called Great nine
Portis Dutcher County New York after which
he moved to Wallingford Vermont and
performed the series named in the certificate
of the City of Vermont & some more, the service
and I upon will give a pension frame. I would respectfully ask that the New York Rolls of Capt Tallmadgen of my be exam the Hinman was married to Rhoda Curtin East Nine Partners, Dutchess Co N. York-- this is not the name of any town, but was the money in Treaty County, but what town is lay in I have not able to find out; but as there are no words of marriages in any of the other towns of this state, I suppose it is not so
Page 37

material- trust that the marriage is 
satisfactorily proven. I have given the best evidence on to be proceed in the con-- 11 the small piece of paper which is the end of the money in the hand writing of Thomas Hinman
show that this is the hand writing of Allen Hinman.  
I have attached it to a deed from Ms. Clark  of Wallingford to John Hinman which the
said Thomas Hinman subscribed as a witness
Pleas Commons Thompson Jd.  The family Record shown by proof to have been copies
Bible in 1818 - this show the birth of the oldest child Feby. 6. 1780.-There is many proof
that he was in service act 1781. I trust that
all will from satisfactory. -It appear to me
 that no doubt and he entertained agents
the legality of the money of the time stated
