In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of said County this 27 th day of January A.D. 1849 Stephen W. Clark of Fulton County

former testimony has been taken & sent to Washington or the Agent has lost them the Testimony of Roger Merrill a U.S. Pensioner he testified he and Miss were great mates and both Soldiers of the Revolution they both came together to the Mohawk and Charles Lepp was married to Lane Wood worth at Johnstown and he himself married at Whitestown the western part of the Mohawk Valley they were both married in one summer of A.D. 1792 and they both moved their resides together to Onondaga and resided there together and moved from Onondaga to Upper Canada to New Castle District together where said Lepp died he also testified to his death as being a United States Pensioner and that his surviving widow said Lane is now single and the widow of said Charles Lepp and that they were lawfully married in the summer of 1792 and they had always lived together and near each other since their marriage & said widow Lane resided near him now see  see see Deposition
Rev. Isaac Cummings as a Baptist Speaker also testifies to facts of the death of said Charles Lipp Leave his wife being his widow and a Number of years of long acquaintance &c &c See Deposition
also The Disposition of The Grandson of Said Justice of The Peace Lovett of said the Entity that Solemnized Said Marriage. That Said Esq r the Entity had left no record of Marriages and the family are mostly dead and Scattered from this County - from all the facts from The Depositions accompanying this to wit Samuel Woodworth was present at The Marriage and recollects The year from Such firm facts and dates when Said Lane Woodworth was married to Charles Lepp first from the date he moved into The Country next from the date of his own marriage next The dates of the year his Brother Luke Woodworth moved from Connecticut to the place where he now resides in Mayfield in Fulton County this being the year 1793 and his Cousin Said Lane was then married and moved away & lived with Said Lepp and their marriage was the year previous and he witness- ed The marriage he was present - he says he cannot be mistaken in the year as he has the dates of his brothers moving to that place & other dates before him &c.
not Luke Woodworth Cousin to said Lane Deposos to the same facts that he moved from Conne cticutt the year 1793 to said Mayfield and his Cousin said Lane was then married to said Charles Tripp and his friend & reports was that she and said Charles Tripp was married the year before - to wit 1792 and says that said Lane and Tripp had moved away out of the neighbor- hood and lived together as husband and wife in the year 1793 and that he knew said Lane his Cousin and said Charles Tripp before and after their marriage

Ebenezer Woodworth Testifies to mostly all those facts and that Said Charles Lepp worked with him at his Letters before his marriage and takes the date of his marriage and will recollect the difference of Time between the marriage of his Cousin Said Lome to Charles Lepp and is positive from the date of his own record of his own marriage and other Circumstances that Said Lome his Cousin was Lawfully married to Charles Lepp in the year 1792. See his Deposition.
Next the Deposition of Lome Lawfer
who Corroborates the same & brings up the date of his marriage from his records he says he married Elizabeth Woodworth Cousin to Lome Woodworth. They resided all close in one place and neighbourhood. Lome married Said Charles Lepp the year A. D. 1792 this being the year before he married himself to Said Elizabeth Woodworth his Cousin he knows this fact from his own marriage and the intimacy that there was between his family and Said Charles Lepp as being Cousins and of Lepp's visits from Canada and that Lepp was a pensioner and a suit of Clothes Lepp bought with his pension money.
These Depositions show facts from facts and dates they now govern themselves by that they cannot mistake and again that Said Lome was the Oldest Child of Capt. Solomon Woodworth Uncle to these witnesses who was no doubt one of the most expert men & Valor in Johnstown in Said War and was killed and his principally his whole Company by the Tories & Indians laying in an Ambush or they could not have taken him and as Lome was a Fatherless Child and the Valor of her said Father who fell in his Country's Cause — Said Widow and Lome and the Fatherless Children was much dependant upon their friends — and their loss was deeply lamented and they all resided as it were together.
These facts are perfect and cannot be disputed and four witnesses of higher Credit cannot be found in that Section of Country Old Devoted pious men as well might be called Fathers in Israel the true Salt of the Earth — Their testimony is conclusive definite in facts resting and taken from facts such Depositions must have full weight before a candid world. the Payment to be made in this Case in the City of Albany as the Old Lady will return to the States as soon as she receives her pension. She is poor and has not the means of support and intends to return to her mother Country as soon as the Claim is obtained.
