Is Edward Ely Com Pension
I now send you a Declaration under Act 17 June 1844 & Act 2 1848 thereby for to obtain a Pension for Catharine Yaph widow of John Nicholas Yaph dec. who was a pensioner —
There is not any Record Evidence to be found of the marriage — There is some old people living in the town, who settled in the town about the same time of Mr Yaph & was acquainted with him — though not eye witnesses of the marriage always supposed him legally married & that he and his wife always to the time of his death lived together as husband & wife — They were about the first settlers of this county — when I was taking the depositions it was not convenient for me to get them depositions — and supposed that the three depositions now sent will be sufficient — if the proof is not sufficient on that point — I can get several depositions from old people as stated by me if you wish —
Col Gould Member of Congress from this district I presume knows the family & will say if called upon, that there is no doubt of the legality of the marriage — I have this day forwarded to M rd Auditor Frazar, Dept a power to collect the pension, to time of her husband's death — & the original certificate to her husband is surrendered —
Respectfully yours E. J. Purnham
