M.B.L. Warrant No. 83 - 60 acres - Act 1855.
Ruth Randall, former wid. John Clark, warrantee
Respectfully referred to Judge Rixford, Law Clerk, inviting attention to the enclosed letters of the Commissioner of the General Land Office requesting the issue of a duplicate of the above warrant, which, it is alleged, was lost, destroyed, or mislaid, in his office at the time of the Interior Dept. fire in 1877. This warrant was located by Chambers Baird, assignee, Dec. 25th, 1855, and a patent issued to him Dec. 1st, 1857. After the issue of the patent, it was discovered that the land patents to Mr. Baird had been disposed of prior to
Page 29

"Mr. Baird's location." The G.L.O. now asks the issue of the duplicate and the delivery of the same to it for delivery to above patentee, that he may be able to locate another tract and obtain another patent. It is respecfully suggested that as John Clark, the soldier on account of whose service this warrant was issued, served as a bombardier in Col. Lamb's Artillery, New York Continenal Line, which was a corps of the regular army of the Revolution, this case comes under Section 2439, R.S., which provides that "when a soldier of the regular army, who has obtained a military

"land warrant, loses the same, or such warrant is destroyed by accident, he shall upon proof thereof, to the satisfaction of the Secretary of the Interior, be entitled to a patent in like manner as if the warrant was produced.

Page 70

State of New York, Onondaga ss:
Isaac Hill of the town of Camillus in said County Merchant being duly sworn saith that John Clark of said town a pensioner of the United States purchased a piece of land of twenty five acres in the neighbourhood of this deponent in the spring of the year 1818 on which was an old ruinous house and gave a mortgage for one hundred and eighty 97/100 Dollars the ballance of the consideration therefor which is dated the fourth day of May 1818 & payable $100 the first of February thereafter and the residue two years thereafter with interest on the last payment that when the first payment fell due the payer of the mortgage Nichols N. Pickard called for payment & said Clark not having all the money requested this deponent to advance the money for him which he did to befriend him as a neighbour & to prevent said Pickard from getting back said land as he appeared disposed to do. That said Clark in the fall of the year 1820, not being able to live in the old house on said land commenced building a small frame house thereon and this deponent again assisted him with means to build said house and also to dig a well on the presmises, all which was absolutely necessary for his comfortable residence and that when the last payment of said mortgage fell due this deponent was obliged to advance the amount due for his own security that the property might be a security to him for the monies already advanced to said Clark to pay for & improve said place. That the ballance due this deponent after paying up the last installment of said mortgage up to the month of December last was four hundred sixty nine 77/100 Dollars for which this deponent has taken a mortgage on said premisses which sum is justly due this deponent & has been accumulated since said Clark moved into this deponents neighbourhood in the manner set forth in the annexed account copies from the Books of this deponent. That said Clark about seven years since married a second wife who had five or six children who had some property from their grand father which chidren (namely four of them) live in the family & the property of said children consisting of cattle, horses, waggon, hay &c. - with some other articles are on the premisses of said Clark and may have been taken for his, but from the intimate knowledge this deponent has of said Clark's affairs derived from his living a near neighbour and having interested himself in his concerns this deponent is satisfied that said Clark does not own any of said stock horses, waggon, sleigh or any other personal property than his
Page 71

household furniture which is ordinary and poor. That said Clark is a feeble old man unable to work for his living - that said mortgage to his deponent is now more in amount then said land and house would now file for from the depreciated value of real estate in this country; and should he be deprived of his pension must be absolutely dependant on charity for support. That in the opinion of this deponent said Clark is a fit subject of Goverments provision and that any person or persons who have communicated the information to the Seceretary of war, that said Clark was able to live without the pension must have been grossly ignorant of the state of his concerns, or have been actuated by malice towards said Clark - for altho the fact is true that said land was clear of incumberance after this deponent paid up the mortgage to Pickard yet Pickard and most of the neighbourhood knew that he was owing to this deponent a large sum for his advances in paying for and improving the place - and this deponent does verily believe that altho said place with the improvements have cost said Clark over eight hundred dollars yet that said Pickard or any other person in the vicinity would not at this time pay five hundred dollars for it. That said Clark is a member of the Baptist Church in the place to which also this deponent belongs which circumstance caused this deponent to go further in befriending said Clark than he otherwise would have done.

Enclosed are some documents furnished by John Clark of Camillus whose pension has been [illegible] to satisfy the department that his pension ought to be continued to him. Mr. HIlls affidavit shows him indebted to him the whole value of his property with an amount current showing how it accumulated. The affidavits of Squire Munro late Judge of this county, David Redman, Elijah Kendrick & Truman Adams late clerk of the County all respectable men & now neighbours of Clark [illegible] the statement of Hill & of Clark himself on the [illegible]. In my own judgment the representation of Pickard to the war office was made from malice to Clark - because he had not [illegible] in getting back under his mortgage the title farm of land he told Clark as he intended which I am indued to believe from a conversation with Pickard. Clark I have known personally about twelve years. He is a feeble old man unable to labor is a member of the Baptist church & but for the aid given him by HIll in amount of that connection would have been upon the town before this.
I also found the application of Jonathan Baker to be transformed to the New York Roll. Please advise one of the [illegible] in these [illegible].
I am your mo obit

Squire Munro Esq., Elijah Hendrick M.D. & David Redman Esq. being severally duly sworn do say that they live near and are well acquainted with John Clark of the town of Camillus in said county. That he is a feeble old man unable to work for a living. That he sustains a good moral character. That he is not in possession of any personal property but his household furniture which is poor. That some cattle, horses, slay, waggon, harness &c. on his premisses belong to his wifes children by a former husband and derived from their grand father as is well known & reputed in the neighbourhood. That the house & lot on which he lives is not worth over five hundred dollars as property is now estimated in this county and that neither of these deponents would be willing to pay off the mortgage to Isaac Hill for $470.77 for said place. That in their opinion said Clark is a deserving subject of the United States bounty & that in case he is now deprived of his pension he must be supported by charity or come on the town. That the state of said Clarks affiars & his indebtedness to said HIll for the monies paid towards his place & for assistance to live & improve his place were and are well known in the vicinity that these deponents are led to believe that the representation made to the war office that said Clark was able to live without his pension must have preceeded from personal malice to said Clark.

Joseph Watson Esq.
Sir
Lieut. Dudley Lamb of the 23d regt. of Infantry in the late war was badly wounded in the battle of Bridgewater and resigned in September after [illegible]. He was afterwards put on the pension roll at 1/4 disabled which he drew till 1 year ago last 4 Mar. since which it has been retained an amount of a [illegible] claimed to be due the U.S. on his acct. for monies advanced him for the recruiting service during the war. He says that [illegible] of being in debt the U.S. actually owes him about $200 for monies paid out in the recruiting service beyond what he received but that his baggage was taken by a detachment of British that crossed over to Lewiston where his baggage was at the time with all his clothes & [illegible] equipage & his vouchers except such memordandum as he happened to have with him. As he would not exactly prove the nature & amount of [illegible] lost he had considered his case [illegible] until he is informed as late act has been passed authorising the accounting office to believe proof of services & amounts other than I trust legal proof, on which to settle these amounts. Now as he was without question a very meritorious officer & from his wounds, which still [illegible] him for business, a great sufferer by the war. I am anxious that he should be benefitted by this law if the practice under it is such that he can make out his just offsets so as to obtain his pension.
Page 79

& having [illegible] your advertisement to attend to first business I take the liberty of addressing you on his behalf & request that you will [illegible] a copy of his amount which he has never seen, to enable him to apply his testimony to the proper points and also information of the kind of proof believed by the office in such cases. He states also that when he resigned he had 2 Mo. allowed him to be on pay for his recovery which as he understood has not been allowed him. If so is not the Genl. order [illegible] his resignation on file to show he was entitled? I have procured him such information in the provision as shall best enable him to obtain his right & enclose to me at Syracuse state of New York.
There is a case of a pensioner under the act of war John Clark of Camillus in [illegible] of a county whose pension has been stopped on the malicious representation of some person and altho he has made a specific statement of all his affairs & I have twice written the war office on the [illegible], I can get an amount of it. It seems that after Clark first got his pension he purchased a piece of land 25 acres to make a house for himself & gave a mortgage for about $200 more than it was worth & then got money
Page 80

from a period to help build a town + dig a well + then to pay off the mortgage by which time he was in debt as much as the whole was worth. upwards of $ have in this state the man of whom he purchased the land who intended under his mortgage he got but the bond with house over it being displaced at New result within written on provisions other to write to the War office that clark owned a farm worth $500 clear of incumbrance. which was then literally true. but was rendered so by Mr Still advancing him the money to build + pay the mortgage under a thepartation to give him a mortgage for the amount which he did soon after + the land is now advertised for file under the mortgage now man in the county would pay the mortgage for it
And poor Clark to old + feeble to work is hope out of his pension by the means.
Hill has forwarded a copy of his amount under oath + the oath of Clark + the oath of several of the neighbours of respect on the july at Nov I withdraw would call at the pension office + see if this instruction
