                                                         I, Ebenezer Stevens of the said City, do certify that I have particularly examined an old Man who calls himself David Willson, and who states that he has come about Three Hundred Miles to obtain additional evidences of his being entitled to receive a Pension for for Revolutionary services in a Company in Coll Lambs Regt.
   The distance of time which has elapsed since the Revolution, does not of course allow me to remember this individual, nor have I any Rolls of the Regt. to discover if his name be on the same.
Having been the Lieut Coll of Lamb's Regt, and generally having had the command of it for about five years, I have had a good opportunity of being personally acquainted with all the transactions in which the Compy to
which Willson is stated to have belonged, was engaged. & I have no hesitation in saying, from his answers to questions I have put to him, and other evidences, that he
was in Lamb's Regiment at Pluckamin New Jersey in the Winter of '78 & '79 & in the Winter of '79 & '80 at Morris Town N Jersey, and in the Winter of '81 & '82 in Burlington same state, and that in the Winter of '82 & '83 - he was at Newburgh with the Army.               The said Willson I feel confidant
Page 6

was in the Battles immediately preceding the Capture of Lord Cornwallis - and also with the Regiment at the execution of Major Andre. The said Willson has shown me a me a furlough signed by John Lamb Coll. the hand of Coll Lamb was very familiar to me and I have no doubt it is genuine.

I therefore have concluded that Willson must have belonged to Coll Lambs Regiment, and also that he was honourably discharged as there was no desertion as late as the date of the furlough. I feel assured that if a correct roll of Capt Samual Lockwoods Company afterward commanded by Capt William Stevens of Lambs Regiment can be found, that the name of David Willson will be found on it. And I am the more confident in this opinion from having conversed with a person transiently in the City of New York, who belonged to the said Regiment, who informed me that he remembered the name of Willson in the said Company. Willson according to his account, immediately after his discharge, went into the Western part of Pennsylvania, and never has received his Land, and of Course he is not on the Register of Persons having received Land - He now appears to be an upright & needy old Man -.

Dear Sirs: -

Is it possible that you have on your records of Revolution time one Ebenezer Ruddock of Mass. Armour frigate "Boston' commanded by Capt Sam. Tucker engaged Jan 16. 1779. Is it possible to tell when his pension ceased. His record is found in Massachusetts Soldiers & Sailors Page 644 Vol 13. but I understand his was lost at sea shortly after the war. I want his record as complete as possible. Also that of Benjamin Masses. [INSERT: 15th Reg. Page 253 (N.Y.).] is the date of his birth and death - also David Wilson, N.Y line artillery Regiments - Page 67 (NY book Revolution David Wilson [INSERT: only served in N.Y.
