Henry B Livingston in General James Clinton Brigade in the lines of the State of New York on the New York Continental establishment; that he continued to serve in the said Corps until the 14 day of March 1777 when he was discharged from service at Fort Montgomery in the State of New York & that he hereby relinquishes every claim to a pension except the present: that his name is not on the roll of any state except New York, and that the following are the reasons for not making an earlier application for a pension -- about nine years since he made a declaration before Judge Atwater one the of Judges of the
Page 8

Court of Common Pleas of Ontario County in the said State of New York for the purpose of attaining his pension; but his papers after being sent to the war department & examined were returned to him & refused for want of proper proof of his service that he did not know where to obtain such proof for a considerable time & did not discover the proof until about the time that the annexed affidavits bear date and since that time he has been a considerable portion of the time too feeble & unwell to attend to the application and besides so entirely destitute of pecuniary means or friends as to render it impossible for him to adopt the necessary means to obtain the pension & that after having failed in one attempt he became discouraged & concluded that if he could sustain himself through the remnant of his life he would not renew the application.
 And in pursuance of the act of the 1st of May 1820 I do solemnly swear that I was a resident citizen of the United States on the 18th day of March 1828 and that I have not since the time by gift, sale or in any manner disposed of my property or any part thing with intent there by so to diminish it as to bring myself within the provisions of an act of Congress entitled "an Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the revolutionary War" Passed on the 18th day of March 1818 and that I have not nor has any person in trust for me any property or securities contracts or debts due to me nor have I any income other than what is contained in the schedule here unto annexed by me subscribed.

Hon. J. L. Edwards
Sir,
I have herewith enclosed the papers of Marshal Barremore and I do not hesitate to say that his papers are as perfect as they can be made. I am aware that the claim for all his services has not been fully sustained by proof, but I should apprehend that sufficient of his services have been substantiated by testimony as to rebut any presumption that might arise from this fact that in the first application he made no mention of services set forth in his late declaration.
Need I allude to the fact that under former Acts of Congress it was not usual to set forth in the declaration more services than was necessary to bring the applicant within the provisions of the Act!
I beg the Department will give M. Barremore early attention. He has been at some considerable trouble and expense in searching for more testimony and in authenticating his papers. I was not able to procure the affidavit of M. Barremore of the fruitlessness of his efforts to procure testimony as he has recently moved into an adjoining county at some distance and could not travel so far as to enable me to draw his affidavit. I therefore procured the affidavit of his son.
I remain with respect Yours Truly Horace U. Soper

Hon. James L. Edwards,
Sir,
Your communication of the 7th inst. in relation to the application of Marshal Barremore has been received.
Mr. Barremore is in great need living upon his poor relatives and totally incapable of doing any thing for his subsistence. His poverty and that of his friends as well as his extreme debility render it impossible for him to make any more efforts to procure further proof of his services. I have advised him to accept of whatever the Department should think him entitled to, from his present papers. He has concluded to do so and if his papers do not entitle him to a full pension, to accept of whatever may be considered his due.
From your letter I conclude that the Department under the circumstances would give him a certificate for the eight months service in Livingston's Regiment.
You will please give an early attention to his claim as possible and much oblige, Your Obt. Servt. H.U. Soper

James L. Edwards Esquire
Commissioner of Pensions, Sir.
Application has been made upon the enclosed [illegible] by Mr. T. R. Coleman for the payment of the pension of Marshal Baremore. On referring to our Books & your letter of 25th July last, it was found that the payment of his pension had been suspended for the reasons therein mentioned. Mr. Jenkins own pension office, perceiving that the name of the Pensioner was subscribed as if in his own hand writing, made inquiry of Mr. Colman reporting it, who stated in reply that the reason this subscriber was in the hand writing of [illegible] Day upon whom the papers were issued. He also remarks that he has no doubt it had been one by the consent or direction of the Pensioner, and that the Judge was well aware of the impropriety of the act. Mr. Colman was requested to leave the [illegible] with us, and was informed that the facts would be communicated to you to which he made no objections. His paper also to maintain that he spoke favorably of the character of Judge Day. But as I have no personal knowledge of his character & that of T R. Colman and the act of using the
Page 40

Pensioner's name in this manner is highly improper, and made calculate to write suspicions, I deem it proper to give you this information that the matter may be further investigated if you should judge it expedient.
With great respect, Your Obed. Servt. Tho W Olcott, Acting Pension Agt.
