Enclosed with this are the papers in support of the claim of Rhode Marsh widow of Daniel Marsh for a pension, which when examined I with the return directed to me, It will be found that there is no record of the marriage bet the estate of Mrs Darling & of Mrs Ashley tending to prove the same, will show that the marriage was solemnized by a justice of the peace in the state of Rhode Island, I have written to the town clerk of that place for an examination of the Records but have recd no answer and being unable to find two witnesses who were present at the time of the marriage, I conclude the fact to be proved beyond a doubt, & therefore send the papers as they are &
