I have the honor to acknowledge Receipt of your Circular of Dec. 21. 48 and in its margin, I have led to the Conclusion that I should have explained to the Department, the object for which I wished the information solicited - it is this - Capt. Geo. Young served in the N.Y. State Line and drew three lots of Land and by his heirs is supposed to have died East of this State about 1820 there a Pension - it is presumed he was so placed on the Roll 1818 about.
He left a Daughter Adeline Covert - against whom an admeasure proceeding, would not run as to Lands owned by him, provided the admeasure had not run 25 years or against him while living. for the benefit of his Daughter Dauk where and when he died.
A check for his name before or about 1820 will determine this I conclude.
And his Children are entitled as heirs as I saw to such information from the Government which he sent as a hope pension. This will lead to the information I wish for them - by pointing me to the person who knew him & of his death.
As to John English he died some few years past in Franklin Co. & left to this State. & his heirs want to establish that there was but one John English in the N.Y. State & to get the names of such as witnesses of his service - his lot extended to the State

unlawfully no doubt. as he was poor & unable (being an old man) to defend his rights - It is presumed upon a state of facts, the Legislature will still do his heirs justice - This is also a case which appeals to the good human for their aid as to such information as to one of their good services.
I hope this letter is in order when such the information is then clear.
Yours truly
