Commanded by Col Mead as he believes the Company was commanded by Capt. David Hoyt - The whole Company were called to New York & the Declarant went with the rest of the Company after serving in New York for two weeks or more he was taken sick & sent home, by water at the landing place in Nye he hired a horse & went home his father took the hired horse back to its owner - Declarant remained sick & unable to attend to labor for some time after he got home - after this he believes the next year he enlist- -ed under Capt. Waring for three or four weeks or more & was stationed on what was then called Baldwins neck, now Shippan, in said Stamford - There is no person living, as he believes, who has knowledge of either of these services of duty on whom he can call to testify in his behalf

Smith in his Company of Guards or Rangers, by enlistment as he believes Although he has no distinct recollection of having signed his name to any enlistment order but he can say that he was in actual service under said Chas. Smith for one year & a half & believes more. He has no recollection of having received a Warrant - if he ever did it has long since been lost he well remembers having been appointed a Sergeant & having served as such at Byram.

Sir, Your letter of the 15 inst. in reference to the claim of Joseph Waring was received. He authorizes me to say he is in the hands of the Department. He can obtain no farther testimony as the witnesses are all dead. Mr. Waring says he is content to take for one year, but this he hopes will be as a Sergeant, for I think it is no where stated in his Declaration or the af- fidavits accompanying that he served as a private but always as a Sergeant in Capt. Smith's Company.
I am Sir Respectfully Your Ob't Servt.

Hon J. S. Eames,
Sir,
The friends of Mr Joseph Wong have requested me to address you in reference to his application for a pension, forwarded, some time since by S. H. Minor Esq. Their object is to ascertain what difficulties, if any, are in the way - whether they are insurmountable or capable of being obviated by additional testimony.
Mr Minor is, at present, very un- familiar with the details of his own pension business - and it is the con- sideration which has induced the friends of Mr Wong to request me to communicate with you on the subject of his previous applications.

Will you have the goodness to in- form me what is its present condition? That I may give Mrs. Wasing a list of the information which they seek - That they may adopt such measures in their business as they may seem expedient.

J. G. Edwards Esq. Com d of Pensions
Sir In pursuance of the 30 th April 1838 in relation to Joseph Haring's application for a Pension was received.
Mr Haring says he made his declaration in the summer of 1837 before the court of Probate. (This was about the time that James Haring made application for serving in the same company and obtained a full pension) his papers were made in the usual form as he supposed and forwarded to the Pension Office. He called for witnesses on these occasions to prove his services James Haring and Chas Smith, both dead. He has never seen his original papers nor does he know where they are. On the 15 th Nov 1837 he made out a new declaration before the same court which was in substance like the first and as he believes exactly like it and procured such further proof as he could obtain, which he did hope and believe would prove satisfactory at the Pension Office. I enclose the certificate of Comptroller Field's tending to show the constant service of Capt Smith's company of Artillery as well as that of Haring's from 1775 to

to the close of the war. Having with his witnesses have testified that he was a ser- geant in Capt. Charles Smith's company There is no doubt but that the Seacord served for more than two years as a Sergeant. I am Respectfully Your Obedt Servt.

Dear sir:
I should appreciate it very much if you will send me at your earliest convenience, any information you have in your records concerning the following Revolutionary Soldiers:
✓ Warren, Jesse, Pensioner , under Act of 1832, of Connecticut. (See Sen. Doc., 1st Session, 23rd Congress, 1833-34, which gives "further particulars!")
✓ Waring, Joseph , born in Long Ridge, Connecticut, on the 26th of January, 1753, died North Castle, Westchester County, New York, Jan. 14, 1842, married Prudence Smith, 1775. He was of Stamford, Connecticut, at the time of the Revolution, and served as Private under Capt. Hoyt, Col. John Mead, 1776, and also under Capt. Jesse Waring or Warren in 1777; as Sergt. under Captains Hoyt and Smith, Col. Mead, again. Applied for pension Nov. 13, 1837. His claim was allowed.
Any further information on these two men that you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I wish, particularly, to learn the names of Joseph Waring's children and who they married, if the records give that.
You probably know that the name Warren is also spelled Waring, as above, and Wairing, Waren, Warin, and Warring. These men might be listed under one of those spellings, but I think they are listed as I have them above.
Very truly yours,
