Sir
I herewith transmit to your office the pension
application of Esther Green since her papers
come into my hands, I wrote to the Town Clerk
of Bedford, Westchester Co. New York for record
proof of her marriage and received the Clerks
answer stateing that there was no record of the marriage
of Jehiel Green to Esther Armstrong on the Town
records of Bedford and that there was a Justice of
the peace by the name of James McDaniel residing
in said bedfor at the latter part of the Revolutionary
war but that no records of any proceeding before
him could be found, Mrs Green could not recollect the
precise date of her marriage, but it appears by her family
record that they had 6 children born prior to 1794,
and Judge Cartle certified that he had no doubt of its being
a true record, and he also certified that Caleb Green was
                            a person
from common report ^ of truth & probity and that he believed
him to be 57 years of age, which appears to me to make 
strong proof of said Jehiel Green & Esther Armstrong's
marriage to of taken place prior to 1794.
                                 Very Respectfully Yours

I came to reside in said Township when I was about nine years old and resided within about one mile of said Jehial & Esther I can not state the precise date that I first knew said Jehial & Esther living together together as Husband and wife, but I well recollect of their so living together as husband and wife some length of time prior to my being fifteen years of age & at that time had a number of Children. I was bound out when I was fifteen years of age and well recollect said Jehial and family a number of years prior to my being bound out.

Sir

I herewith transmit to your office further proof of the date of the marriage of Jehiel and Esther Green, in support of the claim of said Esther to a Revolutionary pension to writ; the affidavits of John Renue, Walter Manning, and Jonathan Wood all of which show conclusively that said Jehiel and Esther lived together as husband and  wife some years prior to 1794 in Minisink, Orange Co. Ohio. It is presumed that said Jehiel set forth his residence in said Minisink in his application for a pension and also when he left Bedford Weschester Co. New York. The affidavit of Mrs. Tyler now on file in your office shows these parties to of been married prior to their leaving said Bedford. I now refer to said Jehiel's statement in his application, the Bible record of the birth of their children, the affidavit of their son Caleb, and the affidavit of Mr. Tyler now on file in your office in connection with the affidavits now submitted and trust that no further proof will be required. Mrs. Green expects the same amount of pension per annum that was allowed her husband.
