Also that the suspended claims of Margaret, the widow of William Ellsworth; — Mary Lugwin, widow of Abraham, and William Winford, all of N.Y. may be taken from the file, in order that I may be enabled by seeing them to obviate the objection to their admission. Respectfully Henry H. Tinker

In the case of Mary and Winfield the proof of the date of the marriage is satisfactory. but since the adjustment of the husband's claim it is discovered that there are records evidences of the Service of the NY militia in the Comptroller's Office at Albany and as each claimant is required to adduce the best attainable proof she should sustain his alleged services under various militia officers of Orange County by the certificate of that officer. His captains were Com mt Blair - Nenthorn - McCambley - Richard Bayley - Calvin Shepherd - Andrew Miller & John Wood - He declared also that he served 9 mos under Capt John Wisner which must have been in the State Troops as the militia were not engaged in such a long term of service.

Sir - I have been informed that Margaret Winfield widow of Abraham Winfield - who it is said, served in the revolutionary war, as a fifer in 1779 and as a private soldier in 1781, in a Florida & Warwick regiment of Orange Co, N. Y. under the command of Col John Hattorn - Made application for Pension, and said application was refused. If you have record of the matter, will you give me copy of his record as a soldier as entered in the applica- tion, his age, length of service and date of discharge. Any additional information will be appreciated. She may have entered application under a name other than Winfield , as she married the second time and it was on account of the second marriage that the application was refused, as I understand it. I am,
