Sir
I am requested by Mr Joseph Ellis the agent in the case of Mrs Bridget Vanderline of New York, to enquire after her case, she was pensioned under the act of 4 July 1836 - a small pension I believe, herself entitled to an increase of her pension as she confidently affirms her husband served till the close of the war & received bounty land for his services, and he also with me to promote the claims of George Frost of New York to an increase of his pension he was placed originally on the roll of 18 th March 1818 & was subsequently put on the roll of the 15 th May 1828 as a Captain but having served also in staff, viz about one year as quartermaster & about 15 months as a commissary, he conceives himself entitled to a large pension, under the act of 7 June 1832 - for which he is willing to relinquish under the former act. Permit me to examine these papers with a view to increase of pension & greatly obliged
Yours Very Respectfully Nathan Seabury

Sir
At the request of James Vanderlyne of this place I write you to obtain some information in relation to a Pension Claim. Peter Vanderlyne the father of James was a Revolutionary soldier. Subsequent to his decease his wife Bridgett Vanderlyne obtained a half pay pension in right of her deceased husband, as his widow. Bridgett drew her pension up to Sept. 4. 1845 & on the 20 th Oct. thereafter died. Some two or three years since her son, James Vanderlyne, as the heir at law of his mother made out his papers for an increase or full pension from the time of the commencement of his mother's half pension up to the date of her decease. He employed an agent by the name of Joseph Ellis of Bloomingburgh, Sullivan County New York to get the pension. He has not heard from Ellis since he entrusted him with his papers, & he is strongly inclined to believe that Ellis may have got a certificate & drawn the money on false papers & appropriated it to his own use. Will you have the goodness to inform me whether Ellis succeeded in obtaining an increase of Pension, & if so when, what amount, & whether any one has ever drawn any thing on it.
Respectfully Yours

Bridget Vanderline
Widow of Peter Vanderline, her pension of $30. per Annum was granted on the aff- idavit of James Ivory for Nine Months Service in Capt Hartenburghs Company 1776 by the enclosed Certificate of the Comptroller of this State, appears that Peter Vanderline Belonged to the Service in 1782. The Muster Master's Certificate was made at the time the Soldier Mustered and returned into the Surveyors Generals Office after the Service was done for the purpose of proving the right of the Soldier to his Bounty Land. This proves or shows about Eight months Service and on the Back of a pay roll of Capt Cross dated the 22 d of Oct 1778 appear the name of Peter Vanderline from Capt Roberson Company. This was the time which will appear by Capt Cross old papers that he commanded the classmen from the different Companies and should be allowed one month at least making Nine Months addition to her pension.
