H. Curtis, having thus been solicited to engage in behalf of the said Elizabeth Warren and having obtained as this deponent supposed a true history of the case, he proceeded, probably in June 1844 to make application at Boston for a certificate of the Revolutionary Services of Samuel Warren, he probably obtained such certificate in November 1844, that having found in said certificate that some service had been found in the name of Samuel Warren, he proceeded and probably in Dec r 1844 made out, or caused it to be done a declaration for the widow, which he forwarded as he believes to John H. Curtis of Heron N.Y. in the month of December 1844 the identical declaration as this deponent believes, is hereto attached, one affidavit upon the same seems to have been executed 21 December 1844 & signed by Alanson M. Knapp; the further recollection of this deponent is, that he received information from John H. Curtis, that on presenting the declaration to the widow, it turned out that she had been married a second time, & knew not as her second husband was dead, this information was probably rec d in Jan y . or Feb y . 1845 and it was the first hint that this deponent had received of the widow having had any other husband than Samuel Warren, that this deponent from the first to the last acted in good faith, & according to the strictest rules of integrity,

that at this juncture of the case this deponent abandon d and thus it remained till under date of April 17 th '48 this deponent rec d a letter from J. H. Curtis saying "you will recollect that in 1844 we commenced the prosecution of the pension claim of (as we supposed) the widow Warren of Sadus, and subsequently learned that she was not a widow, she is now a widow and wishes us to prosecute her claim to a pension, I think you found Service, you have her former history, she was married to W m Horton in the winter of 1832 Horton has recently died" this deponent on the receipt of the above letter or as soon thereafter as he learned the day & date of Horton (the second husband's) death, and made out a new declaration, and forwarded the same to John H. Curtis of Huron New York that on its return executed he forwarded it to Hon E. Blackman M.C on the 12 th Feb y . 1849 if this deponent's notes are correct, that this deponent under an expectation, or at least a possibility of finding more Service in Boston made a new application for search & for a certificate, on the rec d of which he noticed one term of 26 days (as he believes, had been omitted, he therefore concluded to forward the old & first obtained certificate, but has here attached the last certificate obtained, the reason that he forwarded the first certificate obtained, was that it contained the said one term of 26 days (as this deponent believes, not embraced in the last certificate, he took it for granted, that the records did show all the Service set forth in the first certificate, he therefore forwarded it, in good faith believing it to be true - the whole of this affidavit is made, in accordance to the best recollection, knowledge, and belief of this deponent.

We were married in the year 1788 — He died in the year 1820
The only other facts which I recollect are as follows, viz,
That he resided during the Revolution, in Grafton, entered the service in latter part of the war, was at West Point and other places along the Hudson — in service — cannot tell what officers he served under — that she thinks he served in same regiment with Amos Gillette — & that he served more than one year — thinks at one time he served under Lieutenant Ruggles —

I am now 75 years old, and my memory does not enable me to state any thing further material to the search required - I have empowered Arad Joy of Bird Sencra County New York to act in the premises as my Attorney -
Witness my hand this 11th day of June A D 1844. Signed in my presence by Elizabeth Warren By Arad Joy her Atty James Foster Justice of the Peace

State of New York. Seneca County. ss
Abad Joy, after being duly sworn, deposes and says, that the attached letters dated April 24 th 43, and Sep t 6 th 1843, were received by him by due course of mail after their dates and were both soon answered; that these letters contain, as this deponent believes, the first intimation or application for assistance in procuring a pension for Elizabeth Warren, who, unexpectedly to this deponent, turns out to be Elizabeth Foster alluded to in a letter from the Commissioner of pensions dated April 10 th 1849.
The requisitions contained in said letter of 10 th April, this deponent intended, and believes he did, fully, fairly, honestly and plainly answer and set forth in his affidavit of about the 19 th April 1849, backing up such explanation with some papers that had grown out of the case years since.
That in all the transactions relating to the case of Elizabeth Warren, alias Foster, this deponent has acted and intended at all times to act, with the strictest propriety; that he would gladly explain the case more satisfactorily in obedience to the Commissioner's letter of May 17 th 1849, if he knew how to do it, or, if the Commissioner would state wherein his explanation of about April 19, 1849, was deficient; that he has kept back nothing knowingly that could add in more fully explaining the case above referred to; that the after correspondence came through John F. Curtis; —
All of which he subscribes to as true to the best

of his knowledge, recollection and belief.
Subscribed and sworn before me this 16 th day of June. 1849. James Foster Notary

I hereby certify that I have been in intimate acquaintance with Abad Joy who made the foregoing affidavit for many years and that he is a person of respectability and entitled to full credence in his said affidavit. James Foster Notary

✓ Mr Sir
South Scars April 24 th 43
I called at the Post Office at this place a day or two since and was shown a printed handbill over your signature, in which you offer your services or agency in matters pertaining to pensions.
My Father Samuel Warren was a revolutionary soldier and enlisted while residing in New Hampshire, was some time in the war, but never drew a pension as he was at the time of the old act worth some property and did not feel disposed to avail himself of its provisions. He died about 22 years ago and had been married to my mother Elizabeth Warren some 54 years. My mother is at present in circumstances that seem to make it advisable for her to avail herself of the benefits of the late law if she can do so . The fact of her marriage at this time, could not be proved unless her testimony might be admitted. Our family have been living in this vicinity about 37 years. I write for the purpose of inquiring if under the above circumstances (and perhaps I might ascertain others by conversation with my mother) you think the pension might be obtained and if so what you would ask if you succeed for your trouble. I think on reflection I have heard my father state that he was an orderly sergeant while in the army. Your early attention to the above is earnestly solicited.
I am very Respectfully
Yours
Abad Joy Esqr Over

Sir I Rec yesterday the Oval the in which, I see you advertise your services to persons having Claims upon the Pension Department. I regret that I did not follow up my application when I wrote you in the Spring but I must plead business as my excuse. The facts in the case of my mother I believe were tolerably clearly stated except that I believe there may be one or two witnesses of the name of Lyman living in Manchester New Hampshire who were witnesses to the marriage of under the circumstances you think you may succeed in getting my Mother Pension. I will guarantee that you may obtain one third of all arrearages that may be obtained. The nearest judge in this Section is Judge Scott of Newark in this County. Please write me on the receipt of this what you will do and the premiums. and what you wish me to do

Dear sirs.-
In reply to the enclosed note I am sending you all the facts which I have in regard to the Samuel Warrens.
The only ones who could have been in the Revolution and who would be of any interest to me are-
Samuel Warren, Jr. born in Watertown, Mass., July 19, 1719; married August 26, 1747 to Abigail Wing (sometimes given Oring) at Watertown. Date of his death I cannot find.
His Son, also Samuel Warren, not Jr., but the third of that name, was born in Watertown, Mass, May 22, 1757; that is all that I can find out about him.
Both Samuel Warren and Samuel Warren Jr., are listed in the Mass. Soldiers and Sailors in the Revolution, but as I can not find the death date of Samuel Warren, Jr. which is the fact which I especially need, I can not go any farther. Any information will be gratefully received.
Yours very truly
Edith Green Allen
Mrs. J. Walter Allen.
