The original is hereto annexed It is the only record that was ever kept in her family

Yanctage p. Mr. (S) was in being duly sworn says that he drew the papers on the application of Sue Vanderburgh for a pension. That the said Sue was present when deponent completed her declaration - she informed deponent she was married before Eguine Place & deponent so pronounced it & wrote it as he believes in her declaration Altho deponent is now informed that in the name is properly spelt Pleas - The applicant also informed deponent that she was married to her husband Bartholomew Vanderburgh in the year 1792 and in the Month of October. And deponent believes he so inserted it in her declaration, but after the papers had been sent to the War Department an impression obtained in deponent's mind that he had inserted therein the year 1790. And it was for the purpose of settling this doubt that deponent desired a reference to the papers, which was Re

-pued - Deponent having believed he inserted therein the year 1792 as the year of the marriage and if the same is not so inserted it is the mistake solely of this deponent. Deponent further says that the said application was intended to be made under the act of July 1838 & the informality in this respect in the original application was owing solely to this deponent's inadvertence.

I enclose additional papers on the application of Eln Van denburgh for a pension. In Your letter to the Secy. of War of Apr 9. 1840 which is in my possession You state that his application as amended by him will be deemed an application under the act of 1838 - My deposition now sent will show that such was his intention & that the omission was my own inadvertence. On the suggestion in Your letter, substantially stated above, I have not deemed it necessary to transmit a new declaration. The deposition as to Mearns's pension with sent seems to me to be conclusive & I hope they may be satisfactory to the Department. The enclosed papers also show the reason of my reference to Your office for the papers, which without explanation might & probably did appear to you to be prompted by sinister motives - I have no doubt of Mrs Van denburgh being a worthy applicant & our only desire is to satisfy the department by legitimate evidence of the fact.
I am with great Respect.
