I would respectfully request that a reexamination of the allowed claim of Rachel Snyder act 1836 N.Y. as widow of Gottlieb may be made for increase, & that in connection with it the rolls of the Artificers, at work on the Wilson Lake works under command of Capt. Sitzer & other officers, as also those in Sullivan Western Expedition - It will be seen by the rolls of Col. Peter Gansevoort N.Y. Regiment for July & August 1781, that Capt. Sitzer was on command at Fishkill - & those of previous date will doubtless show the same facts as claimed by Snyder.
Yours respectfully F. B. Hassen

About the year 1837 application was made by Mrs. Rachel Snyder widow of Gottlieb Snyder for a pension under the act of July 4. 1836 which application was as is supposed forwarded to the Department by Judge Snell then of Palatine now deceased. Mr. Snell having died thereafter and the condition of the claim is not known Mrs. Snyder the claimant being also dead the children of whom there are only two desire to learn what has been done to substantiate the claim - They desire to know whether the marriage is satisfactorily proved, if not, then what the defect is. They also desire to know what services of her husband are satisfactorily proved, and what are claimed & not sufficiently substantiated, & what the deficiency is in order that they may supply all defects - they claim that their father performed a large amount of services. please inform me and
