Sir
I have been requested by the Applicants Mrs Harriner Widow of Samuel Harriner to procure the Evidence to support her Claim to a pension and forward the same to you for a Decision
She handed me a letter from you directed to the Hon L M Gates M C from that District stating that an informal Declaration had been made out by her and received by you and filed in your Office unaccompanied by any proof and that a search of the Massachusetts Rolls had been had and that the name of Samuel Harriner was not found on said rolls but the name of Samuel Harriner was on the Rolls as a three years Man from 1777 and Aaron Harriner who enlisted for the war in 1780
On conversing with the old lady I am satisfied that there is a mistake in name on the Rolls she says that Samuel and Aaron were Brothers and Aaron served one year of her Husbands service the last year and then enlisted during the war
I have caused a new and formal Declaration to be made out and have procured the enclosed evidence all of which is respectfully submitted
I have the Honor to be very respectfully Your Oht Servant A Hyon

I William Belcher of Granby in the County of Hampshire and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being of lawful age, depose and say that, I am Town Clerk of the town of Granby; and as such have, by request, examined the records of said town for the purpose of ascertaining whether there was on the Books of this town a record of the marriage of Samuel Wariner to Kariah Pease; said to have been married in, or about the year A. D. 1780, by the Rev Simon Backus, at that time a regularly settled minister of the Gospel in said town of Granby.
