¶ Or, special treasure.
17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

I Ebenezer Weston seventy seven years of age depose and say that Sutherland Weston named, in the original pension certificate appended to this sheet, was my uncle, and the youngest brother of my father. He lived with my father when he enlisted into the Army - I can not recollect how long he served; - Some time after he left the Army, he married Mary Lacey of Amherst, in the County of Hillsborough and State of New Hampshire, with whom I was then, & have been ever since well acquainted - and know that the widow Mary Weston named in the follow- ing declaration, is the same person married to my uncle Sutherland Weston, by the name of Mary Lacey. I can not be certain in relation to the partic- ular day of the marriage; but I think it was in the month of January 1779. - I was present at the wedding of Nathan Kendall Esq; of said Amherst; & from the circumstances, that the Rev. Daniel Wilkins was the clergyman who married Nathan Kendall Esq; and was sent for and taken away immediately after the ceremony was performed, to go and marry my uncle Sutherland Weston. I have a distinct recollection, that my uncle Sutherland was married on the same day or evening that I attended the wedding of said Nathan Kendall. I think I was not present, at the marriage of Sutherland Weston; but from my intimate acquaintance with him, his wife & their families I have no doubt whatever that it took place in January A.D. 1779 at said Amherst.

I Sutherland Weston, the above named declarant, depose and say, that I have made diligent search in the town of Amherst aforesaid, and can find no record of the marriage of the aforesaid Suther- land Weston and Mary Lacey, my father & another

either in the town, or parish or minister's records, in that place; and that there is not now, nor ever has been any family record of the said marriage to my knowledge or belief - and that after faithful and diligent inquiry, I can find no one now living, who was present at the marriage. The above deposition of Ebenezer Weston, & that of Nathan Rindall Esq. below, are the best evidence I can obtain; and, as I fully believe, the best now in existence, to prove the said marriage.

Amherst N. H. 13 th August 1834.
Dear Sir,
Accompanying this line , are the application & papers containing the evidence, to support the claim of Mary Weston, to a pension, or annuity for five years - under the act of July last -
It will be seen that the declaration, in this case, was made before the Court, by the son , and next relation of the applicant, who from her intellectual infirmity, could not herself have done it - An express regulation, may be found, on page (101) of your pamphlet-report, of January 1 st . 1834, in conformity with the resolution of the House of Representatives of the Congress of the U.S. of the 9 th October 1832 - If the same has been correctly construed, by me, authorizing this form. The declaration, was made and sworn before the proper tribunal, and a part of the evidence taken, on the 7 th instant, as will be seen by the papers; and on the 9 th two days afterward, Mary Weston died -
This will probably present the question whether it will be regular, if all else is right, to issue a pension certificate, after the death of Mary Weston, on the present declaration -
When an action at law, is pending, and one of the parties dies, judgment is rendered nunc pro tunc , or as of a date prior to the death of the party; to save

the rights of the persons interested; and the expense, of proceeding de novo .
If I am not mistaken, in the application of the principle, such might be the operation in this case.
The right to the pension, had become vested; & the person in whom the right vested made her application, on the seventh of Aug. st & died on the ninth.
Why may not the pension certificate bear date the 14 th of Aug. & thus save the administrator the expense of going over the ground again? It would seem that no wrong can ensue; as the money when paid, under the present regulations, must be paid to the children of the deceased, one of whom, has made the declaration for, & in behalf of the mother.
Such would doubtless be the proceeding in a Court of Law .
Harden me sir, for these suggestions which are occasioned by a strong desire to save the trouble and expense of a new proceeding; which I am confident you will duly appreciate.
Should however, the opinion of the department, be otherwise; and new proceedings become necessary; will you be kind enough to cause, these papers to be returned to me; with such information, as the department may think proper to give, on the subject.

The certificate of the family record, giving the marriage, is not in exact conformity, to the rules of your office; and it is exceedingly difficult, to get them, in that form, from the magistrates, who take the evidence; it is substantially correct - And besides, there is other evidence of witnesses, who were, all but present, at the marriage, & who know the fact as well, as if they had been actually present -
Yours most respectfully &c &c Hubbard Newton
