Elenor Wiggins, a resident of the town of Haverstraw, in said county, aged Seventy-seven years, who, being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on her oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the Act of Congress, passed July 4: 1836. That she is the widow of William Wiggins, who was a Sergeant in the Seventh Regiment, in the Pennsylvania Line. That owing to the great length of time since the services of her late husband expired, and the length of time since, that he died, she has entirely forgot the name of the Col n who commanded the said Regiment, nor has she a perfect recollection of the captain under whom he served, altho she, after that she was married did go with her husband, and was with the Regiment until her husband was discharged at Trenton the first of January 1781, she thinks the Capt t Name was Bedfeins, or some name partly resembling that name, and she also thinks that there was a Major among the troops to which her husband belonged by the name of Steward, and if her memory is correct, that her husband being a near neighbour to Gen t Wayne at his solicitation enlisted in the said Regiment for three years as a Sergeant, and was Honorably discharged at Trenton, as aforesaid, after serving out the whole time for which he had enlisted. That after the death of her said husband she, by her industry had herself and children to provide for, and being illiterate, and not able to make a record, her care and anxiety assisted by old age, has so far impaired her memory, that she is now unable more fully to state the Officers, under whom her husband served or the length of the duty he performed, and must refer the Hon ble the Commissioner to the rolls of the said Regiment for the proof of her said husbands services. -
She further declares that she was married to the said William Wiggins by the Chaplain belonging to the said Regiment, then Stationed in the Presinet of Haverstraw aforesaid on the last of July or the first of August, in the year Seventeen hundred and eighty, as to the day or Month she cannot precisely say, but well recollects that it was in the time ~~~~~

hay harvest, and well recollects that it was before Major Andre was taken - that her husband, the aforesaid William Wiggins, died on the third day of July, in the year Seventeen hundred and ninety eight; and that she has remained a widow ever since that period, as will more fully appear by reference to the proof hereunto annexed. -

Sir
I have been requested to call your attention to the case of Eleanor Wiggins widow of William Wiggins dec d . It appears that some time since she applied for a pension under the act of July 7 th 1838. she now resides in my district and I am informed has been and is now an inmate of the Poor House. All she could remember of her late husbands services who died many years since was that he served some years in the seventh Penn Reg t the name of the Captain she never knew or had forgotten. The claim was disallowed for want of proof of identity at the Pension Office although there was upon the Pension rolls, the name of William Wiggins unable to prove that this soldier was her husband the claim rejected. Last season however it was ascertained that the Company rolls of the Penn line were in the State Department and upon application to the Secy of State his certificate was obtained showing that William Wiggins was a private in a company commanded by a Lieut. then being no Captain of said Company and that said company belonged to the seventh Penn line under Lieut. Bush.

It is objected that the widow declared that her husband was a sergeant whereas his name appears as a private This discrepancy is of little consequence when we take into view all the circumstances of the case The main facts are fully corroborated by the records and as there appears upon the Pension rolls but one person by the name of William Wiggins it would seem that a doubt could not remain of the justness of the widows claim. I hope therefore that you will review the case and give me a report as early as the duties of your office will allow. The condition of the poor widow certainly claims my solicitude in her behalf
I am very respectfully,

The Mr Thiel who identifies her, and also the marriage and the service of Mrs Wiggins, is well known to me, and is of highly respectable character and standing, and whose testimony at home, would be relied upon as soon as any other person.

Ever since the receipt of your letter of June 19 th 1843. in the case of Elenor Wiggins, exertions has been made to obtain the satisfactory testimony required, but any thing more than the accompanyin affidavit of Joseph B Allison cannot be found, as her late husband was from the state of Pennsylvania and his services was rendered inon the Soldiers of that state, where to find one of his fellow Soldiers to prove his service is unknown to her, and all that she has been able to do iwas to produce a copy of the records of that state proving such service as was born on the records there, and since there has been no other person by the name of William Wiggins claiming for services by him rendered as a citizen of that state, it is but fair to presume that her late husband was the person and that she is justly entitled to receive the benefit of that testimony if no more. — John Thill in his affidavit says (altho young at that time) that he see her Married and he and M c Allison both state that they, during the life time of her husband lived together and reputed as man and wife and had children (that testimony in law would be sufficient to establish the relation as such, and if so why not as to a pension. —
That he was in the Army commanded by Genl Wayne and after their said marriage he still served and went with them when they returned is also proven by both Thill & Allison
Her claim is now again submitted, and without some providencial event, no additional testimony can be offered except that they lived together and was always believed and reported as man and wife, such testimony can be greatly extended if necessary, but believing two sufficient I have not added more
Please to give her claim as early examination as possible, that she may know wither the short remains of time yet to be allotted to her is to be spent in the County Poorhouse or not, and inform me of the result

That her late husband alwas inform- ed her that he was a Sergeant in the company which she believed to be true and so set it forth in her declaration, that her husband informed her that he was in the battle at Germantown and was there wounded in his knee and Arm, and to her knowledge he was at the taken of Stony- point by Genl Wayne, that from the Information recieved from her late husband he must have served three years, but wether all his duty was in the Continental line or part in the Militia she is unable to say. and wither he actually was a Sergeant by commission or acted as- such, She is unable to say nor can she offer any satisfactory proof of his discharge as the same is now gone if he ever had one, but he in- formed her that he recieved his discharge at Trenton in the state of New Jersey.

Since the receipt of your letter of the 24.
