Sir
North Galway Saratoga Co. February 18 th 1846
Please have the goodness to permit me to address a few lines to you In the Case of Sally Warren as to the time of her Marriage. You stated in your letter of the 19 th of August 1845, As it is alleged it took place at that early Day there should be no Difficulty in showing by persons residing in the same neighbourhood the Relation of husband and wife at an ascertained period prior to January 1794. Having I might misjudge of the Evidence required to show the Relation of husband and wife, I called on the Hon. Cheselden Elliott Esq. (whose Residence was rising of 30 Miles from my Residence) for his Opinion as to the proof required. It was his opinion all that was required was to procure affidavits of Respectable persons residing in the same neighbourhood of the said Sally Warren and her late husband John Warren, that they had lived together as husband and wife for some year or years prior to 1794, and if such affidavits should be obtained to enclose the same to him and he would send them to the Pension Office, In the Month of September last Thomas Moon and Lucy Pinney (two as respectable persons as reside in the town of Galway) made their affidavits proving all that Mr Elliot thought was required by your letter which affidavits together with a letter addressed to you I enclosed to Mr Elliot with a Request that if he thought the affidavits would prove what was required, to be procured by your letter to send them on to the Pension Office, Since which I have heard nothing from Mr Elliot or the Pension Office, If you have read the aforesaid affidavits, and there has been any action on the same will you please have the goodness to enclose to me the Result. Sir will you further please have the goodness to permit me again to state that I am not insensible of frauds having been committed in obtaining Pensions, and I should feel it a duty that I owe to God and my Country as far as in my power to detect the same, I have had frequent applications to assist in procuring Pensions and but very few. I never undertook believing they were not entitled to a Pension one of whom was that old woman with Raymonds Bastard, I have for some thirty years been acquainted with Mrs Warren and all those who reside in the town of Galway, who have made affidavits in her favour, and I believe them to be above the Malignity, and for truth and unassisted full reliance can be placed, The old woman is in Indigent Circumstances, and I have full confidence that the old woman is justly

Entitled to a Pension, But whether her proof be sufficient to establish her claim must be left to your wise and prudent decision, and if compatible with the dignity and your arduous official duty of office, I should hope the poor but worthy old woman might obtain her Pension. It is now of sixty years since the old woman and her sister Susannah swear she was married and I think not much difference from about 140 Miles from this place, and if she knew the name of the town where she was married and if her sister is barren as to the name of the person who married her, it might be thought best to send and make search for some record of her marriage if she had the means of sending but she is poor and has not the means of sending, but under all circumstances of the case if she had the means of sending it would be unprofitable whether any record of her marriage could be found if there had been a record made she does not recollect that she ever knew the name of the place where she was married or the name of the person who married her, also and whether it was a clergyman or justice of the peace she cannot say, and from the length of time it may be she has forgotten she was a stranger in the place and to the person who married her, so far as I am acquainted with sixty years ago from this time clergymen and justices of the peace were not generally in the habit or practice in this state of making a record of marriages especially justices of the peace.
All which is submitted to your wise and prudent consideration.
Very Respectfully, yours Obedient Ebenezer Gannett.

Hon. J. L. Edwards -
Sir. I enclose additional testimony in the case of Sally Warner Lady Potter , a widow for a Pension. The other papers were presented by Mr. Cook, who consulted me in regard to the decision you made against the claim on account of defect of proof.
It seemed to me that you overlooked some details of evidence which were not stated in order and I thought your requirements were in fact fully complied with - but advised Mr Cook to supply the evidence in another form agreeably to the point of your decision.
I can & do assure you that Mr Cook & Judge Stone are gentlemen of great respectability - and are the last men who would be concerned in a claim they believed unjust or resorted to means otherwise than just & proper -
May I ask your attention to the case, as early as convenient?

I had hoped that the Evidence produced in favour of the Application of Mrs Sally Warren for a pension would have been sufficient to have produced a favourable result to her claim for a pension; but I am not well acquainted with the Rules of the Pension Office it might well be that I was mistaken You will therefore please have the goodness to permit me to state the reason why I had hoped the Evidence produced would have been sufficient to have produced a favourable result. (viz) Mrs Sally Warren in her Deposition swears that she was Married to John Warren in the month of January 1786. That her sister Susannah and Matthew D r John were present at her Marriage to the said John Warren, and stood up with them at their Marriage as Brides man and Brides maid. The Affidavit of Mrs Susannah Dears corroborates the date of Mrs Sally Warren, she swears that she is the sister of Mrs Warren, that in the month of January 1786 she and Matthew D r John Dears were present when her sister Sally Warren and the said John Warren were Married as husband and wife, that she and the said Matthew D r John stood up with the said John Warren and her sister Sally at their Marriage as Brides Man and Brides Maid; the said Susannah gives the name of the person who Married the said John Warren to her sister Sally & Mrs Betsy West in her Affidavit swears that she was four years old in October 1785 and that Sally Warren the widow of her father John Warren Dears came to live with her father John Warren within some few months after she was four years old; that the said John Warren and Sally

lived together as man and wife from the time the said Sally Came to live with her father John Wannun untill the Death of the said John Wannun; that the said John Wannun Died on the 27 th Day of September 1886, I have not a copy of the affidavit of Elijah St. John, but if my recollection is correct his affidavit goes to corroborate the affidavit of Mrs. Betty West as to the time Sally Wannun went to live with John Wannun and of their living together as husband and wife up to the Death of the said John Wannun. In your letter of the 19 th of August last it was stated that none of the witnesses have shown by what means they can swear this marriage took place in 1746 as it is alleged it took place at that Early Day there should be no difficulty in showing the Relation of husband and wife at an ascertained period prior to January 1794, I therefore have procured and herewith enclose you the affidavits of Mr. Thomas Moon and Mrs. Mary Penny who are the only persons now living in the vicinity of the said John Wannun and Sally Wannun prior to 1794 and up to the Death of the said John Wannun.
I am Very Respectfully
Your Obedt Servt.

Dr Sir
An application has been made to me by a Mrs Sally Warren, widow of John Warren, late of the Town of Galway, county of Saratoga, claiming a pension by virtue of her connection as wife of the said John Warren, a pensioner, and now widow of said Warren deceased. In her statement to me it appears that she has forwarded through her Agent, Cook, the evidence of her identity as widow of the said Warren, and desires me to obtain from you the certificate of her claim, and forward the same to her. Her statement being true, there can be no doubt of your forwarding the necessary documents which will enable her to draw the money; But not being true, will you have the kindness to furnish me with the link of evidence yet wanting to complete the entire chain, as required by the Act of July 1838, at the same time I will indulge the hope that you will not urge the rule against a cross, as indicative of a want of veracity, or integrity. Bearing in mind that the late manifesto from the New State of Oregon, is witnessed by many crosses.
Your earliest attention is respectfully requested, by which you will
Obey
Yours &c.

Sir
I herewith enclose to you the affidavit of Susannah Leers proving the marriage of her sister Sally Warren the widow of John Warren as stated in the Declaration of the said Sally- Warren with a view to obtain a pension There appears to be a small mistake in drawing the affidavit (viz) she states in the affidavit that when in 1786 she and her sister Sally, Mathew St. John, and John Warren, were living in North Salem in Dutch Co. whereas North Salem is in Westchester County. The remaining part of her affidavit, together with the De- claration Mrs Warren, and the affidavits of Abijah St. John and Betty West will, I hope and trust be satisfactory evidence that the mistake was not discerned at the time of her making the affidavit as the procuring of her affidavit has been attended with considerable expense in finding where she the said Susannah Leers lived and obtaining her affidavit, which Mrs Warren is but poorly able to pay. The Declaration of Mrs Warren and the affi- davit of Mrs Leers are as I think strongly supported by the traditional evidence accompanying said Declaration Sir you will please permit me to say that from the lengthy acquaintance which I have had with Mrs Warren and knowing her to be a pious old woman and of integrity I was privy to obtaining the affi- davit of Mrs Leers induced to believe that the old woman swore correctly in her Declaration
