I ought to apologize to you for not answering your letter inclosing $1. requesting a certificate &c. I examined our records but was unable to find any record of marriages in 1785. Mr. Steele was a settled Clergyman in Egremont in this County, and I intended to make some inquiry there to see if I could find Mr. Steele's papers. Not having been there, I have made no inquiry. Mr. Steele has been dead many years - I believe his descendants live in Clinton in your State -

EXPLANATORY NOTES.
* QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words: "Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth 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; For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____ For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
†QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
‡QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
¶ In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

try to find one - Mr. Newbrough, Supt, last August to Chili, in Monroe County, expecting to obtain Post Affa- -davit, stating the whole facts - but Post clerk on the 27 th of July before - then call on Mr. Edwards & hand over the papers, and state to him, the contents of this letter, such as is proper - and oblige your humble serv - I have, heard from all, than appli- -cations, which I wished you to call about for Pensions except Josiah Washburn & Isaac Billings -

I forwarded to you on the Secretary of War an Affidavit, to support the Declaration of Seth Fowlebridge - it was about a month after the Declaration was sent - it was taken before an Esquire Southworth in Livingston County, State N. York - if S. Fowlebridge's name is not on the Muster Rolls of Col Michael Jackson Regt, & Captain Nathan Dike's Company, which he says belonged to the said Regiment - The probability is that Aaron Root's name is, for which he went as a substitute - at any rate, you will find an Affidavit, to support his Declaration somewhere in the War Department I think - the persons name I do not now recollect - yours respectfully

The claim of Sep t Crowbridge has been again examined and suspended for further proof. He alleges to have served in Michael Jackson's Regiment for 3. years from '81. — This is not supported by the Rolls, which are deemed full and accurate.

Dr Sir.
Agreeably to your request I called on Mr. Steele of this place, the gentleman whom I mentioned to you, and found that he is the son of the Rev. Mr. Steele formerly of Egremont Mass.; but was able to obtain no information which will be of any service.
Mr. Steele says that his father moved from Egremont to Paris Hill N. Y. in 1795, and died at the latter place in 1816. He states that he was familiar with his father's papers, and had often examined the register of marriages which he kept after his removal to Paris Hill; but is positive that his father retained in his possession no record of the marriages at which he officiated in Mass., and says that if there had been any such record retained, or any thing of the sort among his father's papers, he should have known it. He therefore could give no information concerning the record

of the marriage or the marriage itself about which I enquired, and asserts that if there be any such record, it must be somewhere in Massachusetts, but of that however he knows nothing. I enquired particularly if there were any other persons among the relatives or friends of his father who could give any farther information on the subject: he replied that there were none to his knowledge.
Mr. Steele is a very respectable man, and his statements may be relied on.
L. B. Canfield Esq.
