Dear Sir
With this you will know again the papers in the case of Mr. Tuttle, the amount spoken of the as not disposed of by Mr. Tuttle at the pension Office is embraced in a Certificate signed by him. It will be difficult to obtain further evidence when Mr. Tuttle has paid small sums for the support of his family for nearly 2 years he has pur- chased every article of living house- -hold furniture &c together with a good deal of clothing medicine & medical aid &c, Had Mr. Tuttle have paid his honest debts when he sold his place it would not have left him any thing to have live upon, I think there is no difficulty in Mr. Tuttle's case should there be any thing wanting please to send back immediately, As Mr. Tuttle has lived on the b y of his pension or charity of his neighbours for a long time you will please to use your influence to have him placed back if possible, I am Sir Respectfully Your Obedient Servant Hon ble Seymour

Hon. J. L. Edwards Comt. of Pensions Sir:
I send enclosed the declaration and proofs of widow Lucy Tuttle applicant for a pension. Her husband Hezekiah Tuttle was a pensioner as sergeant in the Continental line and died May 4 th 1834. She was married 30 th November 1791 at Clarendon Vt. There was at that time no law in Vermont requiring record of marriages.
Nathaniel Gould , her brother, aged 70 years testifies that he was present at the marriage sometime in the year 1791. That he then lived at home and that he was married in 1792 & knows his sister was married to Tuttle the year previous, but he cannot remember the day.
Asariah A. Plow . testifies that Tuttle died as stated. that he resided in Tuttle's family from December 1818 to the time of the death of Tuttle & that the record of the marriage in the new bible as mentioned in her declaration existed the first time he saw the bible & is in Tuttle's handwriting & that the widow has remained unmarried.

Just some months since the papers of Widow Ingraham & have had no returns from the Department. Will Mr Edwards be so good as to inform me the state of her Case.
Very Respectfully
Your Obedient
Mrs Leslie Russell

Res. mk 1
My dear Sir: —
I would like the record of the following persons who drew pensions for "Revolutionary services".
Lucy Tuttle widow of — Tuttle a Revolutionary soldier was residing in 1840 at the age of 67 in the home of James Lemon in Canton, St Lawrence Co. N.Y.
Benjamin Akley (Ackley, Akley, ways it has been spelled) was Revolutionary soldier who moved from Coxsackie, Greene Co. N.Y. to Edinburgh, Saratoga Co. N.Y. He was born about 1759 and was past 81 years of age at his death.
Yours Truly,

Madam:
In response to your letter dated the 5 th instant you are advised that on December 3, 1921 you were furnished the history of Lucy Tuttle of Canton, New York, widow of Hezekiah Tuttle, in response to your letter requesting data as to said Lucy.
A careful search of the records of this Bureau fails to show a pension claim on file for Olive Tuttle who resided in Canton St. Lawrence County, New York.
The Census of pensioners printed in 1841 was compiled by the marshals of the several judicial districts under the Act for taking the Sixth Census and without reference to the records of this Bureau and is therefore often incapable of verification.
Very respectfully,
H. M. Vandervoort
Acting Commissioner.
