Dr Sir The Papers of Tabitha Williams had been Presented to the Hon J. S. Schenck (Genl. of Pensions) praying for a Pensions and by him Rejected for want of Sufficient Proof. They were then Presen- -ted by my Predecessor to the Committee on Revolutionary Pensions of 27 Congress, and by them adversely Reported. - Since then Additional Proof has been Obtained and sent to me, I have consequently had said Pa- -pers taken from the files of the House for another Referred. Have Examined them, find she claims under the Act of July 7. 1838 for the Revolutionary services of Gilbert Williams her De d Husband who she alleges has also been a Pensioner.
and I am happy to say, that from the Examination of the Certificate lately Obtained from the Comptroller of the State of N.Y. and the other Proof Obtained since said adverse Report, her Claim in my Opinion, is fully and Beyond a Doubt Sustained for the services of her De d Husband
It appears from the Letter of the Genl. of Pensions that he also Objects to the Proof of her Marriage, But from a Certificate of Judge Wynkoop that the Proof of her Marriage is the Best that can be obtain- -ed, and with the Additional Affidavit of Applicant and of others. As also from the Letter of the Hon. J. C. Broadhead Q.M. C. who it appears is a Neighbor and testifies to her good character, and all connected, the Proof in my Opinion of her Marriage is Irresistible and made out Beyond a Doubt.
I have taken the Liberty to Appeal to Your Honor for a Review and Decision of this case, the Applicant being an etc.

Old Lady and Very Poor. Dependant on the (lots) Charity of the Public for Assistance! - fearing by an Application thro our Legislation for her claims, which at Best is very Tardy. that I may not be so fortunate to get the Law thro Booth Houses this Session - and the Old Lady may Die before she Receives her just rights Hope therefore that You will give this your Early and favourable consideration! - so that I may not loose much time. Should I at last Resort, have to apply to Congress for her Relief.
I have the Hon. to be Very Respectfully

Sir.
I have the honor to inform you that the claim of Mrs Tabitha Williams has been examined and her papers filed under the Act of 7. July 1838. The rules require that the period, length, and grade of each tour of service with the names of the Officers, stations &c should be clearly set forth and established by satisfactory evidence. No such specifications and proof has been furnished in this case. There are rolls of the Services and of New York prisoners which the requisite specifications when furnished will enable the Department to examine understandingly. The date of the marriage should be established by that grade of proof which the registers of Towns, Churches, and some branch of almost every family afford. I have the honor to be, Hon: John Van Buren Very respfgy, Mr. Clk. Sir. House of Representatives, J. L. Edwards

Sir
Sister H. Dykkoop called upon me to know whether I could testify to the good character of Mrs Williams (Widow of Gilbert Williams) She I understand is making an application for a Pension, All that I can say of Mrs Williams is that she has resided in the neighbourhood within two and a half miles where I was born for more than twenty five years I never heard any person speak against her character in any manner whatsoever and I have always since I became acquainted with her considered her a peaceable honest woman If her character had been questioned for veracity or truth in any way I believe I would have heard of it

I hereby certify that after a long and laborious search in Dutches, Westchester, & Ulster Counties, for proof of the marriage of Gabithe Williams, I have not been able to procure any, either personal or Documentary, nor do I believe that at this late day any are in existence.
I have never yet found any record of marriage kept by a Justice of the Peace at that early day, tho' in the State of New York, the Statute did not compel any to be kept by those authorized to perform the marriage Service.
The fact that the parties were always poor and illiterate, although it appears by the proof that they had nine children the old lady informed me that she never kept a record of their births neither were any of them baptized.
Her brothers John & Richard Hughes appear to be the only persons living who can testify to the marriage, which have been promised & I hope Satisfactory.
I have the Honor to be very
