Sir
Enclosed you will find the
Affidavit of Catharine Davis, in relation
in the marriage of Julane Weisner on
of Samuel of New York under the act of 29
July 1848.
No record evidence can be
procured in support of the marriage of these
parties. In New York as you are aware no
public record of marriages are required to be
Kept. This witnesss states that she is 59 by years
all that was between 5 & 6. When her father
was married to Claimant, and that the sums
they were living together as husband and wife
prior to 1800. this together with the endence
now on file will I think be sufficient to
remove the objections to the allowance of
this claim
Very Respectfully

Sir permit me to enquire of you
in relation to some buisness transacted in your department
in favour of Julaner Wisner (Widow of Samuel Wisner)
by Aaron Murphey agent this said Samuel Wisner
was one of the Soldiers of the Revolution A Pentioner of
U.S. & since his decease this said Julaner has from
time to time received the Pention & in March 1855 this
said Murphey undertook to secure to the said lane
the benefits of that enactment granting Bounty Land
saying to the said Julaner that he could secure it by the
first of July but failing to do so he has ever formed
some excuse up to this time Still confident that he
should get it in a few days Now sir we think that
something worth wrong & our suspicions on that he
has tried to get the claim upon the the Services of
some one else & that our claim has been suspended
for some cause of So we wish now to remove
the agency out of the hands of the said Murphy
not only for the sight of duty as we think
must be the case for upon the examination of
the Records we find that our claim is perfectully
clear for Services rendered in the War of 1812 to
we have wished him to give up the claim shall
he is living at & let in affly for it upon that
but the per centage for this would not suit him
well as that which we agreed to give him supposing
as we did that we could only bring a claim for
sum and in the war of them we wish to know
whether bendon in this court of the warrant has not
to send upon the evidence by which we get
the Pension in keeping with the amendment passed
may the

can do and how to do it & you shall be
Rewarded for the same
