Mrs. Charlotte Taylor Luckhurst, 156 Western Avenue, Albany, New York.
Dear Madam:
I advise you that the Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to show a claim for pension on file by Mary Scofield of New York State, on account of the services of a soldier by that surname. All the names which appear on the list of pensioners of 1840 are not found in the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.
In many instances such persons were receiving pensions from some State.
The above named records do not show that pension was ever claimed on account of the services of an Azor Benton. The records show that one Azor Bouton (or Boughton or Bowton) a Revolutionary War pensioner was living in Rensselaerville, Albany County, New York in 1828.
The number of pages to be copied in Revolutionary War claims of Amy Scofield of Poundridge, New York, and her husband Enos Scofield is eighteen.
The cost is fifteen cents a page and twenty-five cents additional for certification of the set, should you desire it.
The proper amount should be forwarded to this bureau by money order drawn to the order of the Secretary of the Interior.
Very truly yours,
E. W. MORGAN, Acting Commissioner.

Stamford, May. 13. 1837 H. C. Edwards Esq. Commissioner of Pensions
Sir. In your letter of the 28 th Ult o it is said that Mr. Phelps' certificate referred to in my letter of the 24 th April would be of no avail in Mary Scofield's application for a Pension unless service of her late Husband was proved after their intermarriage. The marriage is proved by the record I think by carefully reading over the Testimony of Schuchickels and Knitthasse it will be seen that Enos Scofield, the husband served in Capt n Smiths company continuously for months after their marriage.
The certificate of Mr. Phelps referred to in my letter of the 24 th April was obtained as I believe to aid the claim of Mr. Knapp. The certificate was not sent on with Knapp's papers but in a separate package. When last at the Pension Office (the fore part of October 1833) Col. Silvester had in his room a large bundle of Mr. Phelps' certificates and the one

alluded to I should think was in that bundle If Mr Edwards will have the goodness to examine the papers I am sure this old Lady will get her pension

Sir yours of the 8 th Inst relative to the application of Mary Sheffield, for a Pension, was duly received at the close of the letter I find this is proof of his (see the H. B. G.) Service after his marriage, should be obtained from W m Field Esq. Beneficiary at Hartford. - On looking over my papers of 1833 I find a copy of a certificate, signed by S ch Phelps the then Comptroller, dated Dec r 10. 1833 The original I forwarded to the Pension office. The certificate of Mr. Phelps is as much to the purpose as any certificate he could obtain from Mr. Field. Mr. Phelps certified "that pay rolls of Capt. Moses Smith's Companies are charged to the United States, viz t , Oct r 28 1779 Dec r 27 1780 March 1 st 1781 at Housatonic 17 th of the same month in J. Meads Reg t - Jan y 25 th 1782 in J.

Smith's Companies of the reg t have been found nor the duration of their services - The original Pay rolls were given up to the Commissioners of the U.S. & by him rejected I hope on examining the certificate of Mr. Comptroller Phelps now in the Pension Office it may prove satisfactory & that the old lady may have her certificate

Sir I forward with this the testimony of W m Knapp in support of Mary Sufield's claim for a Pension, which I should hope would prove satisfactory as to the services of Ben Sufield D r . after his intermarriage with this applicant
Mr. Field has in Office none of the original rolls of Captain Smith as they were all given up to Harsell on his receipt for the same with many others of the same character which receipt remains in the Comptroller's Office but does not specify in any instance the term of service of the Company
Many have very properly obtained Pensions on proof very similar or perhaps precisely the same as this applicant. The Old Lady is very poor and now with one of her Sons in this village and if entitled to a pension (of which I have no doubt) it would be most gladly received

On application for evidence of the service of Enos Scofield I have examined the Books and Papers remaining in this office relating to Military Service in the War of the Revolution, and find, as follows:-
Under head of "The United States D o To the State of Connecticut sundry expenditures for the service and expenses of Militia called out for the defence of said state," this entry, — (The same being in "Haskells Receipts.")
"1781 March 28 Cap. Amos Smith — Militia Service — State Money £189.12.10" also this entry, under the same head, —
"1783 May 12 Cap. Amos Smith — Militia Service Greenwich — Specie — £29.14.8" And also in the same book, the entries which follow, —
Under head of "Militia Service from April to Nov. 1779"
"1779 Oct r 28 Cap. Amos Smith — Non d Money £1828.16.7 — Computed Value £114.12.11"

On examining the corresponding entries in the "Pay Table" Books, the following facts appear, —

That he is credited, a War charged, Oct r 28. 1779 for Service at Fredericksburg £143.1. — That March 1. 1781 the service is mentioned as being rend d at Horse Neck. — 28 th of same month as under Col d I. Mead. The service credited January 25. 1782 was mentioned as being rend d in "Meads" Reg t ; and then credited May 12. 1783 as being rendered at Horse Neck.
The dates mentioned, are supposed to be those of the time of settlements, or of rendering the accounts.
No Pay Roll of Cap. Amos Smith has been found. Nor has the name of Enos Scofield been found.
I certify that the foregoing extracts are correctly made, and the statements true.
