Sir By the request of Mr Eaton have obtained affidavit of the death of Joseph Delong. I drew his pension for Several years, but for some time before his death Benjamin Dole of the City of Buffalo done his business and who now probably has his pension Certificate, if not on file in the pension office.  If the Adm of the Estate of Delong has obtained the back pay due at the time of his death the Certificate is at Washington. I send this to Buffalo for the Clerks Certificate to be mailed there. The amt sent is sufficient for all charges —

Gentlemen: 
In tracing back the family history I am trying to find out some knowledge of the birth, death, the names of her two sons if possible  and also marriage of Nancy DeLong, who was one of the last pensioners of the Revolution in Watertown, N. Y. It is thought that her husband's first name was Joseph. Her pension agent was a man by the name of Ely of Watertown, N. Y. and her death occured in 1846 or 1847, it is thought. It has been suggested that I might be able to get much information regarding them both from the Pension Department. If there is any information regarding them both which you may be able to furnish me or to suggest where I might be able to get it, I would be very grateful. During the time she lived in Watertown her home was made with Mrs. Frank Eliphet Ball (Jane DeLong Ball), her granddaughter . 

I enclose a stamped envelope for reply. If there is any cost in connection with the data I would be very glad to remit. An early reply would be appreciated. 

Very truly yours,

Dear Sir:-
I wish to ask you what records you have in regard to Joseph De Long, a Revolutionary soldier who enlisted at Albany in 1780 and I would also like to know what records you have of Nancy De Long, (widow of Joseph De Long) drawing a pension  at Watertown, Jefferson County, New York state. Mr. Ely was the pension agent there at one time. I would like to know what proofs were presented to obtain this pension and the date of its commencement and when it ceased. I am writing for this information in regard to joining the Sons of the American Revolution and would like all the information possible. 

Yours truly, 
Edwin R De Long

Sir I inclose with this the supplemental affidavit of Mrs Nancy Delong widow of Joseph Delong required by your letter of Oct. 14. 1839
The son of Mr Delong says his father made application in Ontario County for his pension - when the money was obtained he resided in Onondaga County.
I have taken some pains to get the certificate you will perceive by the letter of Ch Lake that he [but can?] his pension in Buffalo. Delong was a drunken worthless man his family are sober industrious people.
I inclose two affidavits in regard to the period of his death which defines the period more exactly than was before  now
I trust these papers will prove satisfactory & that her claim will now be allowed

Sir - I herewith enclose a claim for a pension for the widow of Joseph DeLong.  I collected the pension for her husband a number of years and on referring to the proofs of the death with the papers on file for the payment due the widow at his death I think the proof will correspond with the enclosed.  At the time they were married, the law of this State did not require any record to be made and now no records are made at all reliable.  Justices Books are soon lost and worn out and are not preserved.  I think the proof is positive and hope a certificate will be forwarded without much delay.  I however have had search made of the Books of Peter Sampson Esq., now dead and no records of marriages are made by him.
Respectfully Yours,
Samuel Lake

L P. Waldo Esq Com. of Pensions
Sir, I Have just rec. your report upon the claim of Mary Delong widow of Joseph Delong for a pension of the 5th Inst. I knew Joseph Delong well and drew his pension for him a number of years. If married in 1775 his wife Nancy must have been verry young it being 80 years since that event. Please give me the residence of Mrs. Nancy Delong who has been pensioned. also the residence of Joseph Delong when he was placed upon the pension roll. With this information I can ascertain if he who died in this county was the Husband of Nancy + if not divorced then it is all right. He was a drinking man and when in his cups wreckless. and that may be the cause of a separation.
Respectfully Yours Samuel Lake
