In the Case of Anne Wurne she swears that she was married to John Wurne the Soldier in 1791-
There is no record of her marriage (the Justice John A. DeWitt is dead) she nor husband in his life time kept no family record-
Jacob P Markle. on the 2 nd March 1841. Swears That his first wife was the sister of the said Anna That she died before said Anna was married That he was again married and his second wife had her second child (an infant) at the time of Anna's marriage.
That the child of living would now (1841) be 50 years old - Must consequently have been born in the year 1791-
and these are circumstances which can be better relied on than most others.
Frederick P Markle Oct r 1841. Swears-
That he is 70 years and upwards.
That when he was twenty two years in 1793 - he worked at Skaneateles. that John Wurne and his wife Anne, then lived there as man & wife -
had been married some time previous - and had before that lived in Marbleton

proving the marriage have taken place some time before 1793—
From the letter of George Hadenborough herewith presented it appears, that the pension is withheld for lack of proof of marriage before the year 1794.
Will the Commissioner of Pensions please to give the matter a reexamination
Very Resp y Yours aff ly St John Van Purn

J S Edwards Esq

Dr Sir
Newburgh Sept 6, 1843.
Enclosed I send you the additional Evidence to prove the marriage of John & Anna Winum and S. Though the affidavits establish beyond a doubt that they were married long before the 1 st Jany 1791. It has heretofore been proved that they were married by a Justice of the peace; that there is no record of their marriage, and that they were both illiterate and incapable of keeping a family record of their marriage, or the births of their children — Frederick P Markel, 72 yrs old, swears that when he was 22 years old, they kept house at Shandakoa — that is 50 years ago; and it is proved by the other witnesses, that they before that lived together as man and wife on Vandikes place in Marble Town, Jacob P Markel swears to the entry of his daughters Elizabeths Birth in the family Bible which is on the 10 th September 1791 — that the next Spring Winum and his wife went on Vandikes place, and that they were married in the fall previous to going on said place — he also swears to their getting a cow & calf from John a de Witt Esqr, that they never owned any other cattle before that; and that this was when they moved on Vandikes place — and this by the affidavit of Mr L Merritt, here before sent to the Surro office, is charged on De Witts Brook May 7, 1792 that they were married the fall previous — Cornelius Winum, a brother of John

Swain that 51 or 52 years ago they lived at Phurakun, near Longyears, and had lived before that at Marl- =le Town - so that taking all the Evidence it appears they were married in the fall of the 1791, & which does not approximate very near to the 1 st July = =1794-
Considering the circumstances of this case the difficulty of the parties - no Record proofs of their marriage to be had, no Records of Births together with the fact of the marriage having taken place so long ago I think the secondary Evidence now sent will establish the claim of Anna Winner beyond a doubt - Showing that she was married long enough before the year 1794.
Mrs Winner is old, and Poor, and Blind, and if she has any thing coming from the bounty of her Country, on the account of the services of her husband, in the Revolution, it cannot come too soon -
Please Report to me at Newburgh Orange County New York and Oblige your obedient Servt Ezra H. Clark
Mrs L L Edwards,

Newburgh March 29 II-1841,
Dr Sir
enclosed I send you the papers in support of a claim for a five years Pension under the Law of 1838, for Anna Winna Widow of John Winna, who was a private, Soldier in the Revolutionary War.
Please examine the within papers & report to me at Newburgh New York - & Oblige your Obedt Servt E. H. Clark,

J. L. Edwards Esq. I herewith enclose the affidavit of Frederick P. Markel, in support of the claim of Anna Winna to a pension —
In this case I think the deposition now sent, together with the affidavits of Jacob P. Markel and William C. Merritt, now in the pension office, are all that can be required to establish the claim on account of the marriage — it is proved that John Winna and his wife, were both very illiterate and ignorant, and incapable of keeping any family record, and that no record has been kept by the Justice, who married them — in such a case the evidence of the marriage heretofore transmitted, supported and confirmed by the affidavit enclosed, will, I trust, be satisfactory —
The claim of Mrs Winna was first prosecuted by Mr E. H. Clarke of Newburgh; Mr Clarke not residing near the claimant, has written to me to procure additional evidence of the marriage, and transmit it to the pension office — if the evidence now sent will justify the issuing a Certificate, direct the same to me — if not, I will furnish more evidence of such a character as the circumstances in life of the applicant and her husband would naturally afford —

Dear Sir, I enclose you the application of Mary Bush for arrears of pension due her mother under the act of 3 rd March 1843 — Anna Winna, the mother, rec d a pension Certificate for 54 th pension under the law of 7, July 1838 — the money due by virtue of said Certificate, was drawn by the above named Mary Bush, her only child, after the death of said Anna Winna — and thinking it unnecessary to apply for a Certificate under the act of 3 rd March 1843, I sent to the pay office in New York the proof enclosed, and rec d an answer in pencil endorsed on the back — I therefore now send a declaration by Mary Bush with the proof of relationship — Mr. Edwards may send a Certificate for the pay from the 4 th March to 14 Sep, when Anna Winna died, being the amount she was entitled to by the act of 3 rd March 1843 — or send an order to the pay office to pay it on the power of attorney enclosed —
In the case of Johannah Acker, I have supplied the small defect in the Certificate, viz — that the applicant is to me personally known . she had a Certificate under the Act of 1838 — and drew her pension — The Certificate has been surrendered —
I take this opportunity to acknowledge your punctilious attention to the business with which I have troubled you, as also your kindness in transmitting to me Documents, papers &c receive my Thanks —
Sincerely Yours
A. H. Burdenburgh —
P.S. I rec d your's respecting the case of the heirs of Mrs. Krum, and as soon as I can see the parties interested I will write to you —
