The application of Hannah Winfield,
widow of Daniel of New York, for bounty land,
under the act of the 3d of March last, has been
examined.
This claimant cannot remember the
names of her late husband's officers, nor does
she mention any date or incident of his service,
excepting that he "volunteered at Esopus, and was
stationed at Fort Montgomery.
It is impracticable,
with only this meager statement before me to
institute a search for record evidence of her
late husband's service, with any reasonable prospect
of finding and identifying it.
