Hon S. L. Edwards
Sir Enclosed is the family Record of William Weston deceased whose widow is applicant for a Pension, - Their oldest daughter Elizabeth is not living, and Henry their oldest son does not reside in the County of Broome, but in the State of Pennsylvania therefore this Record has been verified by the oaths of their 3 d Son. & third child, I consider the fact of their marriage as well established, to have taken place long before 1800, by the age of the Son William who makes the oath to the Record. In the Record her name is spelled "Isabella" which is usually among her friends called "Isabel" and was spelled so in her declaration. We hope this additional proof will be sufficient, but if it is not satisfactory we will supply all that is in our power to do.
