Mr. [name] Hunt

Dear Sir

Being in the office of the [illegible] Clerk of Concord a few days [illegible], I checked to [illegible] your letter of the 17th Dec 1838; and finding on the query that it remained unanswered because no record, the marriage this [illegible] was to be found , and thinking it might be of some importance to you to obtain the which evidence I received to attempt procuring it for you. I recollected hearing my points who knew Mr. Pembroke, speak of Person Colby as among the first settled ministers of that town; and the thoughts at once which me that he might be the man who
solemnized the marriage. I accordingly sent
to Pembroke and procured the annexed certificate and affidavit, and have since procured the properly authenticated certificate as to the magistrate. There certificate and affidavits I think will answer your purpose. If not, on giving me  information, I will forward such as will.

You will perceive that the marriage took place
Dec 30th 1788, instead of the 28th. Whether it was solemnized in Concord or Pembroke I do not know. Mr. Colby was minister of Pembroke at that time and by statute, clergymen are required to have marriages recorded in the town where they live.  M. Colby, may have happened the Concord, which is adjacent and only 7 or 8 miles from Pembroke, at the time, and not have solemnized the marriage there. Perhaps Mrs. Hunt, whether this states he her
declaration the marriage to have been solemnized in Concord or Pembroke, had better state that the minister who officiated was a Mr. Colby of Pembroke, or perhaps the need not state the place of the marriage at all only giving the name of the Clergyman as of Pembroke Sanbornton, mentioned in the record as the place of resident

[written on the left side/sideways]
N. B. Higmany?, the town clerk of Pembroke can probably certify to the marriage is recorded as having been solemnized by Rev. Mr. Colby [illegible] I think able to get to Pembroke, & should have procured that [illegible] done now. Asa Fowler.
Page 6

of Mr. Hunt and Miss Moore, is in the county of Strafford in the state, distant from Concord twenty one and from Pembroke about twenty five miles. Mrs. Hunt can but perhaps inform you something in regard to the circumstances of the ride from Sanbornton to Concord or Pembroke, on the day of the marriage.

I presume, you will have no difficulty in procuring the pension so far as relates to the marriage after receiving this. If, however, you should  I will be happy to do something by my power to supply deficiencies.

As to fees for procuring the annexed certificates & affidavit, I have paid or become responsible to the Town clerk,
Magistrate and Clerk of the Court for their fees, and their is besides my own trouble sending to Pembroke. If you please,
we may remit a five dollar bank note, which will be ample compensation.

Please send the money and make any other Communication to the Hon. Franklin Pierce Concord, N. M. Perce is my partner in business & directing to him will have power, then obt. not, Asa Fowler

Madam;

I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W.23375, it appears that Humphry Hunt was born March 4, 1762, place not stated.

While residing at Sanbornton, Strafford County, New Hampshire, he enlisted and served with the New Hampshire Troops as follows:
In 1776, was in the battle of White Plains, length of service and officers names not stated; from January 27, 1778, two years as a private under Lieutenant John Dennett, Colonel Alexander Scammell's Regiment and was in the battles of Monmouth and Newtown, where he was twice wounded; from 1780, to June or July, 1783, in Captains Samuel Sherry's and Potter's Companies, Colonel George Reed's Regiment.
He was pensioned for wounds received in the service.
In 1818, he was living in Scipio, Cayuga County, New York.
Page 31

He died May 29, 1828, at Mount Morris, Livingston County, New York.
The soldier married December 30, 1738, in Pembroke or Concord, Merrimack County, New Hampshire, Peggy Moore, of Sanbornton, New Hampshire. She was born April 17, 1773.

She was allowed pension on her application executed January 26, 1839, at which time she was living at Mount Morris, New York.

In 1920, the soldier referred to the following children:

Percy Lyon, a widow, with two children, their names not given; Humphrey, aged nineteen years; Hiram, aged seventeen years; Sally, aged fifteen years; Almy, aged twelve years; Ely, aged ten years; Henry Dearborn, aged eight years; John Sullivan, aged fourteen years; James Monroe, aged two years.

You were furnished the history, October 26, 1825, of Daniel Moor, S. 45026, who was a Captain in Colonel John Stark's New Hampshire Regiment. It is not the practice
of the bureau to send the same history twice to the same person.

Sir,
I am about to apply to your department for a pension for Margaret Hunt, whose husband Humphrey Hunt was five years in the revolutionary service in the New Hampshire Line and a pensioner under the act of 1818.
the act of 1820 cut him of the pension Roll except as an invalid pension which he received until his death in 1827, Under the last act of 1838 I suppose the widow is entitled to a pension. not being in possession of any Blanks and being ignorant  of the evidence required by the war department in such cases, I would respectfully ask for such papers and information as will enable me to procure her pension for her if she is entitled to receive one.
Very Respectfully
