Letter from the Commr. of Pensions in answer to the case of Elizabeth Fisher

War Department, Pension Office, January 17, 1839.
Sir,
I have the honor to return you the letter of Mr Stanton, and to inform you that the evidence in the case of Mrs Elizabeth Tucker, widow of Elisha Tucker, is not sufficient to establish the date of the marriage. Such record or documentary proof as is most generally to be found in the registers and papers of Towns, Churches and families should be adduced or it should be shewn by proper testimony that such records had not been kept where her marriage and births of children would have been recorded.
I have the honor to be very respectfully, your ob t . serv t .

Personally appeared before me, the undersigned. Judge of Probate for the District of Volubtown in the County of Windham in the State of Connecticut. Elisha Luchen of said Volubtown, who being duly sworn, deposes and saith, that by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades. That in 1777. he served as a substitute for Roger Grew, in Col. John Sylvus Regiment, in Capt. Jeremiah Halsey's Company, at Gorton Banks Ct. two Months in building a redoubt. For two years, under the following named officers. 1 st in Capt. Levi Wells Regiment and in Capt. Luther Fitch's Company, and in Col. Meads Regiment and Capt. Allens Company and in Capt. Stoddards Company. During this two years service a part of the time I served as a substitute for Daniel Morgan and for James Wylie. This service embraced that part of my declaration which speaks of my 2 d 3 d and 4 th terms, in which I find on reflection and conversation with those who served with me. That I was mistaken in the precise order of my service, especially under

Campbell, whose affidavit is herunto annexed, as to the years service by him mentioned at West Point N.Y. I recited when My declaration was made, but it was thought best to omit it, as I had time enough without it. I served at West Point one year as stated in said Campbell's affidavit.
For twelve months I served in Col. Samuel Campbell Regiment & in Capt. Charles Miles Company at Fort Stanwix N.Y. since I made my declaration I have obtained the affidavits of Col. Brantley and Col. Jones herunto annexed in support of this my last term of service, at the time I made my declaration I knew of no person living who could testify to my service. Making in all three years and two months which I served as a soldier in the war of the revolution, and I would add that I have obtained the affidavit of Simon Jones herunto annexed in support or proof of my term of duty at Grafton-Banks. For said service I claim a Pension.
