Act. 7. June 1832

I set forth in name of the Town of West Point County of Columbia & State of New York Claimant under a Law of Congress for a Pension for Revolutionary Service testify and say that according to my best recollection I served under Capt Drake at West Point three full months in 1779. and I supposed that the name of my Capt was written Drake, in the Statement which I had the honor to send on to the Department of War. The name Doak, which will now read in the Pension office must have been thus read in consequence of a mistake by Mr Holdridge, the Gentleman who made out my papers or it must have been thus read in consequence of extraneous illegibility in his writing. I further state that while I was doing military service at West Point. I will remember that there was a Capt Sibley in service at that station, and our company was sometimes common

by him and at this distance of time I dare not state with absolute positiveness that my name was not enrolled in his company, but I do allege that I was a regular enlisted soldier and did serve three months at west point in 1781 under Capt Drake or Capt. Sibley. And I further recollect that while I was doing that Service General M c Dougall was in command at that Station and I staid nearly at his door one night Sworn and subscribed before me this tenth day of April 1837 Seth G.enne Amos Brown Justice Peace

Dear Sir I rejoice that the application for a Pension, of the venerable Seth. Gurne has reached a successful termination.
He has been with a good deal of fatigue ago to a Court of Record at Hudson and resworn his declaration. The signature of the Clerk and the Seal of the Court you will perceive are affixed. He has now complied with all the requisitions of the Law as su gested in your letter to Hon. Pratt you have discovered as you state in that letter that the Deacon performed more  six months and twenty two days of Service and you kindly state that on renewing his declaration and returning his papers he will be allowed a pension for that period of Service. Now Dear Sir will you have the goodness as quickly as may possibly consist with your convenience to send on to me the Certificate or document which is usual in such cases that the

good old man may draw his money and thus defend himself and his wife from the blasts of the coming Winter. I thank you Sir for the patience and attent- -ion which you have bestowed upon Dea- Deacon Lemnos Claim, and I trust that you will have no further trouble on the subject. We shall look with anxiety for a letter from the Department
I am Sir with great respect your friend and Olt Ser

Sir,
In reply to the enquiry in the enclosed letter of the Rev. Mr. Woodbridge respecting the claim of Seth Jenne, I have to state that on the examination of this case in March, and in May last, the claimant was required to be sworn in a Court of Record. The requisition has not been complied with. It was also objected that there was no Captain of the name of Doak on the rolls of Massachusetts Militia. On a re-examination the name of the claimant has been found on the rolls of Capt. Drake, in which company it appears he served three months and twenty days. On renewing his declaration, herewith returned, before a Court of Record, unless prevented by bodily infirmity, and returning the papers to this Office, he will be allowed a pension for six months and twenty two days service.
I have the honor to be Very respectfully Your Obt. Servt. J L Edwards

Sir,
The papers of Seth Jenne have been examined and filed. His name appears on the rolls of Capt. Claghorn, in whose company he appears to have served three months and two days; but no Captain of the name of Doak is found on the rolls of the three months men at West Point in 1781. If the claimant served there as alleged, he is probably mistaken in the name of his Captain.
I have the honor to be
Very respectfully
Your Obtd. Servt.
