Dear Sir,
Jane Rosem (Maiden name Jane Quackenbush) came to our Office this morning & informs us that her father Abram D Quackenbush was a Captain in the Revolutionary War - that during his life he drew no pension - that after his death and she thinks about twelve years ago her mother drew, on application, a pension - Jane thinks her mother drew but two years - her mother's name was Catharine Quackenbush - she live and died at or near Fultonville, or Glen Montgomery Co. N. Y.
She is informed that her brother John S. Quackenbush is making application for back pay - but although she has written to him often she can not learn what he is doing, nor what the heirs are entitled to - Catharine died leaving seven heirs and they are all living.
Will you please inform us when Catharine began to draw - under what law - what amount yearly - & what amount is now back to which the heirs would be entitled.
Jane is poor, a respectable woman, and possesses very little knowledge of the facts in the case.
To the Commissioner of Pensions Washington D.C.
Respectfully yours Fowler & Snow

This defendant further states that Saint Abraham J. Quackenbosh was called into the service very often & several terms some shorter and some longer as the urgent different occasions required. That he well recollects that in the year 1781 he thinks in July the company was ordered to meet at the blockhouse at Canajoharie assembled at about sun set and marched to Canajoharie and thence to Furlough which place the company reached about one hour after the battle was fought, that they then returned this that he was not again under Saint Quackenbosh in the year 1780 and was stationed at Fort Plain at the time Col Brown was killed at Stone Arabia and was joined in the pursuit of Sir John Johnson after the battle at Stone Arabia.

Sir I herewith you forward you additional testimony in relation to the Claim of the Midow City Quackenbush. And find from equity that much more proof to the same facts can be obtained; but deem it superfluous to prove the same services more than by one witness. I also have learned that Supt A. D. Quackenbush was the Only officer in the Company possessing sufficient Education to do business or efficiency to command the Company and that consequently he performed more frequent and prolonged services that either the Capt or Ensign. This claim I think is unusually meritorious & have no doubt but justice will be done in the matter.
In relation to the claim of Ruth Cady I find that some doubts exists as to the fact of his having served under Col Jen Eyck. I would refer you to the declaration of Mr Benjamin Steele who drew a pension under the act of 1832. The services there set forth were much the same as those of Mr Elisha Cady and I think that Mr Elias Cady was one of the witnesses who proved Mr H.'s services. They were brother-in-law nearly of the same age & were most generally out together.
As it regards Col Jen Eyck they may be mistaken in the rank he bore. He might have been a major. That they served under a field officer of that name there can be no doubt.
You will please point out to me what further I shall do to aid Mrs Cady in pursuing her claim.
Respectfully Yours

To J. S. Edwards Commission of Pensions
Sir I take the liberty to request a reexamination of my mother's claim for a pension. For the 5 months services of my father previous to 1779 allowed in 1838 she under the circumstances was not satisfied with, because there was nothing but the testimony of witnesses to support it. But with reference to his services from 1778 to 1782 since you last examined this claim. I have lately discovered new proof (which I enclose) consisting of 2 certificates from the Comptroller of this State, showing that my father received for his services the sum of $118 in the whole for the above period. I would accordingly submit whether the pension should not be increased proportionally. She now receives pay only for about 7 months. Service from the year 1778 to 1782. Whereas according to the evidence now furnished he must have served during that period about 12 months instead of 7.
She (The widow Katy Quackenbush) therefore respectfully requests that her case may be reviewed and if this statement be deemed correct, that she may receive a new certificate for the increased amount of Claim

Sir Sometime last season I made out a declaration for a pension for the Widow Coaty Duckenbop wife of Lieut Abraham D Duckenbop deceased and at a subsequent day I forwarded additional proof. Shortly after which I recd from the Hon M. J. Bourn a certificate for a few days over 7 months allowance on the claim as a private. Upon which I communicated to Mr Bourn the fact that the claimants husband never acted in that capacity at any time during the war but that the services set forth and allowed were rendered by him as a Lieut. Since which time the pension has been increased. Will you inform me whether that increase was made by an additional allowance of his services or only the difference between the pay of a private

State of New York } ss Montgomery County }
John S. Quackenbop of the town of Glen in said county being duly sworn, says that he was brought up from his infancy in the family of Lieut Abraham D. Quackenbop, the disbarred husband of Cath Quackenbop, who has applied for a pension. And that the said Lieut Abraham D. Quackenbop was first Lieut in Capt Jacob Gardyns Company, Col Frederick Fishers Regiment, of Militia. That the said Capt & Lieut lived within one mile of each other, and this deponent has heard them repeatedly recount the history of their revolutionary services. And that in all their details the said Abraham D. Quackenbop was said to have served as a Lieut, and never as a private. This deponent further states that he has frequently seen, and examined, a Lieut-encanto commission, made upon discharge, appointing the said Abraham D. Quackenbop a Lieut of Militia, under the King of Great Britain, previous to the Revolution. Which said Commission, was destroyed by fire, at the time the said Lieut was burned to death in his own house, which together with all his other papers and effects, were also destroyed. And this deponent further states that when the Colonies assumed an attitude of resistance against the authority of the King, the said Lieut Abraham D. Quackenbop took the same Commission and rank in the cause of his country as this deponent has always been informed and fully believes. And this deponent further states that he never knew any other man by the name of Abraham Quackenbop or Abraham D. Quackenbop in Capt J. Gardyns Company, and further this deponent saith not.
