From J. Strong, H. C.

I hereby certify that twelve or fourteen years ago, Mr. Asahel Reynolds of the City of Hudson, applied to me to prepare his papers for an application to the legis- lature of the State of New York, for bounty lands, on the ground that he had served in the revolutionary war, in Col. Warners independent Regiment, & that he was a citizen of this State when he enlisted. I perfectly well remember that it abundantly appeared that he had served several years on the Continental establishment, & my opinion was, that he was fully entitled to bounty lands; & this opinion was derived from the documents then produced. I have been acquainted with said Reynolds for more than twenty years & have always un- derstood from him & others that he was a revolutionary soldier, & had com- pleted himself well. I believe him

to be a poor but honest & industrious man August 1. 1818.

Allen Reynolds aged fifty five years resident in the City of Hudson County & State aforesaid on this 3 d day of April 1810, personally appeared before me the Subscriber one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in & for Columbia County aforesaid who being by me first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the provision made by the late act of Congress entitled an act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land & naval service of the United States in the revolutionary war.
That he the said Allen Reynolds enlisted at Skene'sborough (now Whitehall) in the said State in December 1779 in Captain John Chipman's company in Col. Seth Warner's regiment - He continued to serve in the said corps until the said regiment was cut off at Fort George when he made his escape and in April 1782 enlisted again at Saratoga for the war in Captain Monroe's company in Col. Henry Dearborn's (now General Dearborn) regiment in the New Hampshire line of the continental army. He continued to serve in the said corps until the peace in June 1783 when he was honorably discharged at Snakehill

near Newburgh in the State of New York. In the fall of 1783 he sold his commission and to Phinehas Knapp to whom he delivered his discharge, which he is therefore unable to produce -
He further says that he believes the regiment of Col. Warner in which he first enlisted was not considered as attached to the line of any State, but was a part of independent corps and service on duty for the most part in the States of New York & Vermont. - Some of the soldiers were, as he understood returned as belonging to one State and some to another - The regiment was composed of men raised from a number of the States - This regiment was returned for the State of Connecticut as he thinks from his drawing his clothing &c from that State - The regiment was always considered as a continental corps -
He further says that he is in reduced circumstances & needs the assistance of his country for support and that he has no other evidence now in his power of his said services excepting this declaration & the certificate of Judge Spencer under his hand & seal, which is herewith produced Sworn & declared before me Horatio Dayton this day of 1818

AND he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God, and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
5 And there shall be no night there: and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; and
which is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still; and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 And behold I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his works shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lye.
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning-star.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly; Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.*

PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS.
* Chap. xxii.] This chapter, which is the last of the Revelation, and of all the holy writings, sets before our eyes the end and consummation of all things. We here see how great will be the glory and happiness which the elect will eternally enjoy in the presence of God, and of Jesus Christ their Saviour; but that the impure, and the wicked in general, shall be excluded from it for ever. Thus we see what will one day be the lot of good and bad men, and what God proposes to do at the end of the world. Since he has so expressly warned us of it, let us be continually meditating upon it; let us remember that all these things are most certain; and that God revealed them to John, and was pleased they should be written in this book for the instruction and edification of the church in all ages.
The angel told John, that the truths contained in this book would not produce the same effect upon all; that the wicked would corrupt and defile themselves daily more and more, whilst the righteous and the saints are continually improving in holiness. This we see daily happen; but let us remember, that the Lord has forewarned us of it, and that he will at length come to judge both the righteous and the wicked, as he himself has declared at the end of this book, saying, "Behold I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be." Let us continually pant after his coming; and, while we wait for it, let us say with the bride, which is the church, and with all her true children, COME, LORD JESUS, COME QUICKLY. Amen.

In
Enclosed I send you the Application of the widow of the late Allen Reynolds of this city. The widow says she was married to her late husband in Dutchess county about 35 miles from this city by the Rev. W. Bullock. I understand there is a church at the same place & we may be able, if it should be necessary to get a certificate from Mr. Bullock's successor, but as I understand your rules the family Record is considered as good evidence as the Record of the clergyman.
Your Rules say "Record Proof as to the marriage is always required, whenever it can be obtained. In a case where the town, county, parish, church, or family Records afford no proof &c, from this source I draw the inference that when those Records do furnish proof there is no necessity for any other. The Record of Mrs. Reynolds annexed bears upon its face evidence of its correctness & authenticity. If this is not sufficient I wish you to inform me as soon as convenient so that I may go to Dutchess county & see if there is a Record of the marriage or furnish any other evidence you may require.
Respectfully Yours, (Whitcomb H. Clarke) Hudson New York August 1, 1858.
