Dear Sir
I recieved your letter stating the rules of your Department in regard to examining the pension rolls, which I was not before aware of, and should not have troubled you again only at the urgent solicitation of Mr Mandigo he informs me that he has been trying some years to establish his claim to a pension under the act of June 7 th 1832 that he sent in a declaration under the agency of John M. Sowler, (which probably died out from the conduct of the agent) that he has been at some considerable expens which in his poverty he feels severely & has become almost discouraged in making any further attempts to sustain his claim & if his name should not appear on the roll he knows of no way to prove his claim, and is illy able to bear the expens of making a new declaration before a proper court without he could see some way to substantial it with proof. He says he enlisted in 1782 the last of April or first of May and served in the Continental line under the following named officers, as near as he can recollect them Capt - Dana Lieut Thomas Pierce & Col. Chaudenell & Major Bells that he enlisted at a place called the Fishkilns in Dutches County in the State of N.Y. that he served eighteen months and untill his company was disbanded late in the fall of 1783 This will not come strictly within your rules probably but if it should be so near that you could make

The examination without departing to far from the rules of the Department you will confer a favor on a poor old Man & I think the a revolutionary patriot
I am sir respectfully yours & C Horn C. L. Edwards Commissioner of Pensions
Wm. H. Lyman

Albany 6 th June 1853.
I herewith on behalf of Mrs Mandiyp transmit his declaration for obtaining a pension with the depositions of Levi Mandiyp, Samuel Mandiyp and Jonathan Mandiyp, with an old deposition of Rambert Mandiyp, and a certificate of the Town Clerk of Watertown & his explanation, and beg leave to refer you to the declaration & proofs of Judah Mandiyp made to the pension office some years before his death, all of which I think must be satisfactory evidence of the services of Judah Mandiyp to the Applicant's ancestors to him; I notice, that the witnesses disagree in opinion as to who commanded the Company to which Judah belonged, with each knowing what the other states as to that fact, shows that each intends to depend upon his independent belief, still the points which are important they all agree in; the service & manner
I have transmitted the widows declaration for a bounty land warrant; perhaps I have not hit upon the proper form for a new declaration under the Resoln of the 16 th of Sept 1776 & the several acts keeping the same in life, if so I can with much trouble procure her to make a new one.
I also transmit an amended De of Dyer Hill & the affidavit of Lieut Amos, & hope it will be satisfactory.
In reply to these applications please address myself as Mrs Mandiyp resides on the north side of the Canada line near
Yours Truly
G. Harrington
