Enclosed is an affidavit in support of the claim of Mrs Elizabeth Woglom for a pension under the act of Congress of 7. 1838. I think it is propper here to state that the Claimant committed an error in stating that her late husband served a court inuously in a Company of Minute men for three or more years the enclosed affidavit will show that the services of her late husband was in Companies of troops called into service by the authorities of the state of New Jersey. I think it propper here to state that the Claimant cannot state the names of the Company and a field officer nor the exact time that her late husband entered the service
I would respectfully request you to furnish me with detailed instructions how to proceed as there appears to be no rule laid down that will apply to this claim it is not necessary for me to state that I am unacquainted with this business as you undoubtedly have discovered it before
I take this opportunity to express to you my thanks for the instruction you have heretofore given me in relation to the manner in which Claims should be presented

Yours of January the 15 th 1842, in the case of Mrs Elizabeth Hog- lom has been duly received. I take this opportunity to express to you my thanks, for the information you have been pleased to furnish respecting her case, but the difficulty existing in her case in furnishing the specifications, exists in the inability of the few remaining survivors to remember, positively the length of each respective period, of her service, in consequence of which it is respectfully desired that you will inform me, if an additional supplement of hers, to the best of her recollection, will furnish the specifications required by the rules of the department
With, much respect I remain

In relation to the claim of Mrs Elizabeth Woylome - I have to say, that no further proof of the service of her late husband can be found. In consequence of which she authorizes me to say, that she will accede to be pensioned for something less than the full allowance of a private of Infantry, if the Department will allow it, in preference to making application to Congress for relief by special Act. I deem it proper to remind the Department of its proposition to allow her for six months as private, and also to the fact, that the further proof of service required, by my own letters of 10 th November 1840 - and 21 st of May 1841, have been fully complied with, and to do which the claimant has been to much expense, and as the fulfillment of the first and second requirement did not produce a favorable action in her case, there was no reason to suppose that a compliance with the your third requirement would be attended with any better results, if it could have been complied with, I am authorized to say that she will accede to be pensioned, for the same length of time that is allowed that his Captain served continuously in the years 1781-82, namely from April 1 st 1781 to December 15 th 1782, as private if the Department will allow her for such time, which I should suppose the Department would be warranted

in doing, as it is has been clearly shown that her said husband was in service under that office and served continuously during these two years by seven credible witnesses, one of which was a Magistrate.

Sir,
In relation to the case of Mrs Elizabeth Leaglow for a pension, I am by her desire to say to you, that she cannot set forth any thing more in detail than what she has already stated in her declaration and supplement. She therefore respectfully desires that as she has complied with the requirements of your letter of May 31 st 1841, that a reexamination of her case may be made. And it is respectfully desired that you will inform the undersigned, if the evidence upon your files does not sustain, the allegations of claimant, relative to the service as she set forth in her former supplement. I have to refer you to that testimony to sustain the service as no further evidence can be found to exist, a witness cannot be found that can make the necessary specifications, but you will find that the certificates of the Secretary of New Jersey furnish the specifications of the respective periods that the officers served, during which period it has been shown, that her late husband was in service under the officers therein designated.

Enclosed is an additional statement of Mrs. Elizabeth Wagland, explanatory of her statement referred to in your letter of 13 th Oct r . 1841. At the time I presented this case I was wholly ignorant of the requisments of the mil- in fact it was the first case that I was acted as agent, in and moreover I did not know the mil- which is the cause of the difficulties. The service rendered was unquest- ionably in the Troops authorized by the Legislators of New Jersey to be raised by it Acts of June, and Dec. 1780- and Dec. 1781- as to what service was required to be rendered by these Acts, the Department I infer knows I assure the whole and may be examined, and reported. Mr. Amos Wagland, at the time she gave her testimony in this case, was not asserting a similar claim as you say in your letter of Jan y . 11-1842, had claim having been previously allowed upon specification furnished by her self, And I inferred that it would be as satisfactory in her sister's case as in her own when the proof was in every respect similar and the service the same.

Enclosed is the deposition of my Grand Mother, in the case of her sister Mrs Elizabeth Wayson. The case of Mrs Elizabeth Wayson and the case of my Grand Mother in point of service are both similar, they both served on the Woodbridge Station under the same officer, and during the same period, their late husbands did not serve on the Woodbridge Station to protect their property in the neighborhood, for they were owners of property on Staten Island, which the enemy took possession of immediately after they entered the service, which from the best sources from which information can be derived took place in the Spring of 1778. The cause of their leaving was, that they were by the enemy suspected of furnishing the American Army in N Jersey with information of various different movements of the enemy, for which they were arrested and imprisoned in Fort Richmond from which they made their escape and crossed the Raritan to New Jersey.
I take this opportunity to assure you of my respect
