Act 7 July 1838

Washington January 11 th 1841.
Sir
In compliance with your request of the 3 rd November - last in relation to the application of Maria Winne (widow of John Winne deceased) for a pension under the act of 7 th July 1832 - a certificate of the Comptroller of New York is herewith enclosed - but does not appear to confirm her husband's statement in relation to his Services for which I am unable to account. I have had no agency in preparing her husband's papers , but have been acquainted with him for the last five or six years of his life , having frequently had occasion to call on him for proof to sustain in several instances applications for widows whose husbands he had known in the Service and his statements have invariably been sustained by the records at Albany, & therefore am unable to account for the absence of it in his own case, unless he was paid for his Services by the general Government of which I believe Captain Benjamin Dubois was part of the time an Officer.
And in conclusion I can only say that Mr Winne in his own neighborhood was considered an upright exemplary farmer in easy circumstances, and for truth and veracity not excelled by any & whatever may be your decision you will please direct to me and oblige
Very Respectfully your obedient Servant Henry Wynkoop
