Dear Sir
If I may be allowed with great deference & respectfully to explain the Sarah Mandeville case, widow of John Mandeville, I should be happy to do so - If I understand the proof, one witness John Cross aged 82 years, & who resided in the family (as he testifies) of John & Sarah Mandeville before & during the war of the revolution, testifies that he was well acquainted with the Service of John Mandeville in the war of the revolution, he states that he served in various capacities & under various officers, that he was promoted to Lieut. of the dragoons, and that he served in 1780 under Capt. or Col. Samuel Delavan, that the service may have commenced in 1779 and continued till 1781. that he was actually in the service with him Two years, he also testifies that he served under Col. John Van Rensselaer & Col. Dodge & that he also served as commissary, or in the Commissary Department etc. - James Mandeville aged 85 testifies that John Mandeville served as Lieut. in the dragoon under Capt. or Col. Samuel Delavan; both witnesses swear with great clearness to the facts, both were witnesses as they say to the service - These witnesses testify without any knowledge whatever that there was to be found a record of any part of this service, I then procure at an after date of a month or two the Comptroller's Cert t of Lieut. John Mandeville's service, corroborating the above testimony (as I believe) all of the proof as above named were mailed at the same time, so says my memorandum of it - the family record was also attached, nothing in your answer is said of the marriage, yet I suppose it to be satisfactory - I I judge that a pension is justly due, & that when the papers are fully and carefully examined, a pension will be granted - I disdain asking for, I do not ask for a pension unless it is honestly & justly due -

Sarah Mandeville the Widow of John Mandeville deceased, wishing me to write to the Department on the subject of her claim as a Widows pension upon the Service of her Husband John Mandeville in the Revolutionary War, in her application for said pension she states that her Husband was a private John Croft affidavit also states he was a private, Isaac Cooklin and James Mandeville makes John Mandeville a Capt. of Dragoons &c. Since these affidavits have been transmitted to the Department, the Witness John Croft has become convinced that he was mistaken as to the said Mandeville being a private, from Circumstances and conversing with old men, he is now convinced Satisfied that the said Mandeville was a Lieutenant in Capt. Sam l Delavan's Company. If such proof as this would receive a favourable consideration, in aid of her claim she will send it to the Department, will You be so good as to inform her,

J. S. Edwards Esqr.
Yr. Sarah Mandeville the Widow of John Mandeville deceased has obtained the enclosed affidavits. which set forth that he was a capt. of a Horn Company soon after the commencement of the Revolutionary War, and continued such capt. three years that after said company of Horn was discharged. The said Mandeville was appointed capt. of a Company of Militia in 60th Samuel Drake's Regiment and continued such capt. to the close of the War, excepting nine months of the time which time he acted as Commissary to Col. Vose's unit of the French Army. At the time the old Lady made her declaration. She insisted that her Husband had been a capt. in the Revolutionary War, but supposed she could not prove that part of his service, thinking that there were dead living between 2 and 300 Miles from there and having no other Witness in this County but John Croft who like her said to me he thought that Mandeville was some kind of an officer but could not tell what grade he held. It was therefore thought (as the old Lady and said Croft could make affidavit he was a private) admissible to show her claim for her husband as a Private, if the proof now before you is insufficient to obtain her claim. if said affidavits with regard to her declaration and said Croft's, were returned (if not contrary to the Rules of the Department) and Statements made wherein they are insufficient that sufficient proof can be obtained from Berkshire Western County, to entitle her to a pension, or if any further proof with this is necessary, please inform me,
Yours with sentiments of high respect, J. M. Croft

John Croft of the town of Seneca, Cayuga County and State of New York, being duly sworn according to Law, Deposes and says that he is well acquainted with Sarah Mandeville, who is a Daughter of Col. Samuel Drake and the Widow of John Mandeville. Deponent was some acquainted with the said John Mandeville in the Revolution and War and according to deponent's best recollection and belief said John Mandeville the husband of said Sarah volunteered as a private soldier in the United States Service about the first of April in the year 1780, and was discharged in the spring of the year 1783. Said John Mandeville entered the said service and served under Capt. Delavan, who was Capt. of a light horse Company. Said light horse Company was raised by the order of Clinton who was then Governor of the State of New York. Deponent served in the United States Service in the year 1781, and in the year 1782, and frequently saw the said John Mandeville during said two years, doing duty in said light horse Company under Capt. Delavan. Deponent has always understood from said Mandeville and one other, that he was in a sharp skirmish with the light horse at Morristown, and was wounded by the British in said skirmish. Deponent does not remember under what Col. said John Mandeville served but thinks and believes said Company was occasionally attached to different Regiments. That said Company of horse was raised to protect the section of Country of Westchester County and the villages along the Hudson River. The Country through which said Mandeville marched was the County of Westchester, High Bridge, White Plains, and along the Hudson River. Said John Mandeville entered the said service in the town of P'keepsie Westchester County and State of New York, and deponent further states, that the said John Mandeville died in the town of Seneca Cayuga County and State of New York on the 17 day of April in the year 1827, and that said Sarah has not been married but has remained a widow ever since that period.
