We are now told that by Erastus Montague who had this warrant that hearing that Mrs Parker was dead he had returned the warrant to your office soon after its receipt by him.  Mrs Parker is dead but did not die until after the issue of the warrant.  Will you be so good as to inform us at your earliest convenience whether it is true that said Warrant was returned.

Hon & Dr. Sir 
Mrs Eunice Parker now of this place (Widow of Nathan Parker, Revolutionary Pensioner late of Erie County Pa.) having some time since made application to the proper department through her agent Arad Joy Esq of Ovid N.Y. for the benefit of the provision made by Congress, for widows of Pensioners of the Revolution and having, from time to time, been assured by said agent that her claims would be favourably considered, yet from the long delay and as it appears to her unnecessary requirements of said agent she is well nigh discouraged, and therefore has desired me to address your Honour on the subject, hoping to receive in your answer, ample satisfaction for the cause of so long delays and also in what manner her claims are considered.   
I might sum up the amt of Testimony that has been furnished by Mrs Parker, but that would probably be superfluous, I would say however that she has generally complied with the demands made and in Mr Joys Letter of 30th July last he says, "I almost for a certainly promise you the pension. I really hope it goes through with this case within 2 months and then on the of August  19th the business seems to be thrown all a back and he says that it may take now 3 months, but still he thinks that a pension is justly her due and I would and that if need has any claims, the business certainly should be forwarded.   
I do not address you to plead for her, but merely, if it is not inconsistent with your station and business, to request you to inform her now her case stands, and the cause of the delay, that she may know whether any roguery has been practised upon her or not.  Mrs P is old, and there are those she says the unworthy, who might hope to enjoy, after her death what she now verily stands in need of.   
Very respectfully Yours
W Gill P. M, Congress

Sir
I have to call your attention to the memorandum made by Mr A Joy, and your letter to me of the 25" May in relation to the application of Eunice Parker for a pension. Mr Joy states in his letter to me that the papers on file shew that Mrs Parker was married in the year 1790 - 91 and that "he furnished the affidavit attached to the record of Isaac Martin as to the death of the old widows daughter Eunice in Sept 1838 then aged 44, coming 45 in Oct, that she was the second child, this record of the death Eunice & the officiant are on file the Department under date of August 13" 49, requires as they say "Mosher to make a copy of that memorandum in his own hand writing and transmit to himself to this office" 
Very respectfully yours

I enclose the declaration of Mrs. Eunice Parker certified under the seal of the seal of the Court as directed. 
I have written two or three times in relation to the application of Jemimah Miller, whose I forwarded many months since & have need no return to it. She received her certificate under the act of 1838 & her last application was for the extended pension under the last act of Congress.   Please write me if it is necessary to have new certificates from the Pension Office, or if she can draw us a matter of course without having a certificate of continuance under the two last acts.

Dr Sir
Yours of the 7th Just has been rec and I hasten to comply with its requirements, as near as I can.  Of my own family there no record in existence But I will make a statement, and give you as much to corroborate as I am in possession of.  My oldest child Deliverance a daughter was born on the 28th Feb 1792, & Died when about 10 months old. My second child was also a Daughter (Eunice) was born Oct. 2 1793, she was never married. I enclose a pocket Book which belonged to her and contains a record of her death and her age when she died which it is presumed was put down at the time, and by the person at whose house she died as his signature goes to shew the pocket Book are rec’d  together with other property which belonged to her with the record as it [unreadable], therefore we send it to you as we recd it.   Nathan my oldest son was born Sept. 13, 1795.  He now resides in Hanover Jackson Co. Mich. I have not seen him for 10 years or more.   my next child Joseph was born August 6th 1797, was married, and had one child and his wife and both dead. Josiah was born July 6th 1799 is dead.  Isaiah June 10, 1801, also dead.   Elizabeth born May 13 1803, was married to Isaiah Roots.  I enclose a record of her death and her age at the time.   Sarah was born July 12, 1805. went to Indiana, dont know any thing about her.   Orinda I now live with. Two younger ones, both died young.  My Brother Joel Doubleday is the only person whose residence I can give you, who was married about the time that I was. His address you have.   John Page was married a short before I was lived in Coventry the last I knew of him. I could have obtained the affidavit of  Elder Aaron Cornish who would testify to my having lived with my Husband Nathan Parker for the last 30 years of his life he was acquainted with my children except the two oldest, since they were quite young, but the Justice considered his testimony of no use.   He resides in Waterford Erie Co Pa. I know of nothing more that I can do at Present time &c.

Strafford Oct 15 1847 
Dear friend I have delayed writing to you a long time because I think it will not be of any use as the pension office is so particular.   I must say to you that, I employ a justice to do the writing and told him that I could not swear to her age but I believed her to be as sold as I understood it  from her, believing her to be a woman of truth.  She lived in my family some thing like five years or made her home within that time the Justice was in a great hurry when he did the writing and I should think he copy the wrong affidavit as I did not read it after him but had it conveyed to the county clerk by another man who is the business with him and then enclosed the same to you.  As it respects & my acquaintance with Eunice Parker she came to this town 20 or 25 years ago.  I should think her parents lived in Canada at that time. She made a profession of religion after she came to this place and lived in it a very pions devoted life.  After she had been in these parts some years her parent was moved to New York town of Royalston whare she visited them and returned to this place again after that her parents moved to Pennsylvania
Page 126

Her parents wrote occasionally to her while she lived so I have no Dout who her Parents are and of their names, that is Nathan and Eunice Parker.  This is my own hand writing.  Eunice Parker died at Strafford Sept the 3 1838, 44 years old and this is as near as I wrote in the Pocket Book as I can remember.   
Isaac Mosher 
Explanation – Mr Joy was directed in the letter from the Commr of Pensions of Augt 13 ‘47, forwarded the said letter on the 18 Augt to Isaac Mosher, asking him to comply with the request, & to notify Mr. Joy of his having done so, but as Mr Joy had not a word from him, he again wrote him on the 18th Sept, receiving no answer he again wrote him on the Oct 21, this leaf showed is the answer rec’d.  The request to Mr. Mosher was that he said her letter directed to the Commr of Pensions, this explanation is a plain matter of fact.

Dear Sir,
I received your letter of the 17th Sept last requesting information in relation to the age and marriage of Mrs Eunice Parker. I think by the reading of your letter that you mistook me for a brother of Mrs. Parker, but instead I am a nephew.  The record of her birth and marriage I remember to have seen frequently in a Bible belonging to my Grandfather Joseph Doubleday, who lived with my Father, but the Bible has since been distroyed by the burning of the house in which it was.  I have been and seen my uncle Amos Doubleday now living in Sharon Vt, who is a brother of Mrs Parkers, and from whom I have obtained the following information, which he  wishes me to write in answer to your letter. He says, that she is now 77 years of age and was married in the year 1790 and that he (Amos Doubleday), is now 74 years of age and was married in the year 1795, he left Ct. in the year 1795.

I was married May 1788 aged 24.  She was married in March following in aged 20 (if my memory serves me right).  I was married first but I have no record of either of our marriages, it is no wonder that your letter came back to you for it was not mailed.  I have wrote one letter and sent it to Wisconsin in answer to this & I could not find out where to send it,  now I have wrote another in hopes that will get this. I do not home where to direct this so that you will get it.  Please Direct your letters to Knowlesville Orleans Co N.Y.

In the above Doubleday states he was married in 1789 & his Sister Eunice Parker in 1790, aged 20.  This exactly corresponds with her brothers history, that is Amos Doubleday, who says she was married in 1790 aged 20.  His letter is attached.  That all wants no one but one must from the proof be satisfied that she was married in 1790 or 1791.
