Sir
the declaration
I send enclosed of Olive Wymon, widow of Stephen Wymon, deceased, who was a soldier in the army of the Revolution. I also enclose evidence of the marriage and death of said Wymon, in order to obtain a pension for said Olive. I wrote you January 31 st 1843 respecting this claim, to which I refer you; In your answer March 16. 1843. you say "The rolls afford evidence of his service, but her claim must should be asserted before any correspondence is entertained upon the subject."
I have made great exertions to obtain the declaration of said Wymon, which he made in 1819. to obtain the benefit of the Act of 1818, but I cannot find it, nor any of the deponents, he then obtained; the deponents are dead, and the agent, who had charge of his papers is dead, and his administrator is dead, and as no one is known to be living who was with said Wymon in the service, the Widow must rely upon the evidence in the War department to prove her claim.
I have conversed with several aged men, now living in the vicinity of the late residence of said Wymon, and they all say that Wymon was considered a Revolutionary Soldier.
I hope the evidence in your possession may be satisfactory and that a certificate may be granted.
I am very respectfully your obed Servt Daniel Greenleaf
