On this ninth day of April, 1838, personally appeared before the Honorable Luther Wail, one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for the County of Washington in the State of New York, Lucia Weller, a resident of the town of Fort Ann in said County, aged seventy five years, widow of Dan Weller, late of said town of Fort Ann, deceased, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on her oath make the following declaration, supplemental to her declaration heretofore made, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress July 4, 1836, and the act explanatory of said act passed March 3, 1837:

Dear Sir:-
I do not know who to address, but I wish to know, what Company, regiment, or under whose command, my great grandfather served in the War of the Revolution. I have been told that he lived wither in Vermont, or Conn. before he was in the war, after the war he located at Fort Ann, New York, and died near that town. This information is not on his headstone, simply "A soldier of the Revolution, with date of birth and death.
His wife received a pension after his death.

His name was Daniel Weller.

Would like this information in regard to Sons and Daughters of the Revolution. Also would appreciate knowing where he enlisted from if it is recorded.

Sir.
I have delayed answering your letter making enquiry for testimony to prove the marriage of Mr. Willie, till I could get something that might be done to you, but I regret that I have not yet succeeded. The Rev. Mr. Munson removed from this town some 30 or 40 years ago, and did many years here in the County of Franklin Ct. - whether he left any records of marriages, and if any, where they are, I cannot say. I have caused the Town Records to be searched, but no records of marriages by Mr. Munson are to be found.
I have seen one man who recollects Mr. & Mrs. Willie when they lived in this town, but he was then quite young and was not present at their marriage. Mrs. Willie may possibly recollect some of her neighbours who were present at her marriage. The older persons are probably gone, but some young persons who were present, may be living and can state the fact. Does she recollect any one present by the name of Dunbar, Cook, Collins, Bangs or Parker? If she can state the name of any one, I will make further enquiries -

Sir
I have the honor to transmit to you the declaration, and accompanying proofs, of Mrs Lucinda Walker, of the town of Fort Ann, New-York, for a pension, under the act of Congress, passed July 4, 1836.
Attached to the declaration, are the following documents:
1. - The affidavit of Isaac Wetherbee, proving the death of Dan Walker; on account of whose services, the pension is claimed. 2. - Mrs Walker's own affidavit, shewing that no family record has ever been kept by her or her late husband, other than the one therein referred to, and herewith transmitted. 3. - The affidavit of Ashbel Treat, a brother of Mrs Walker, and a personal witness of her marriage. 4. - The original letter of William T. Walker Esq., Post-Master at Senp, Mass., shewing that no record of the marriage is to be found there. And, lastly, 5. - The original Family Record or "Family Register" of Mr Dan Walker - original, at least, so far as relates to his own intermarriage with Lucinda Treat; and the affidavit thereon endorsed, of William Walker, proving the record to be original, as to his parents' marriage; and, further identifying the document by relating the manner of its having been made. These two last enumerated vouchers, are detached from the declaration.
Mrs Walker requests that you will be pleased to communicate your decision on the claim through me.

Very respectfully,
