Keeles Company for only nine months during the Revolutionary War, which time you write me is all I can be allowed in drawing a pension. — I am very sorry that the Company roll in your department is so very imperfect and erroneous, for I am confident that I served under Lockwood and Keeles all the time stated in my declaration of May last, but I have must bow with respectful deference to your decision in the matter. — In your letter you also state that my name is not borne on the rolls of Capt. Delevan's Company for the year 1777, whereas in my declaration of May last, it is stated that I first volunteered in the service of the United States in Ap. 1777, for the period of three and one half months and actually served that time in that year. — My supplementary declaration herewith transmitted to you, will shew you what officers actually commanded during said period of service, & I therefore hope I shall be allowed for said three and one half months service at least in addition to the said nine months, which is admitted by you.
I earnestly desire you, Dear Sir, to give immediate attention to this my application for a pension, and transmit to me as soon as convenient a certificate for as large a pension as I can by law be allowed

agreeable to the papers and proofs already furnished in my case.
I am almost entirely helpless and in very needy circumstances having no property but a Cow a few articles of household furniture for my necessary use, and my dependence for the support of myself and my aged wife who from the infirmities of age is already past much labor, is my invalid pension of eight dollars per month and the charity of my son in law, Mr Reuben Lake with whom I now live. — Although he has a comfortable living for himself and family acquired solely by his own industry, and seems cheerfully to administer to my necessities, yet I am unwilling to be a burthen upon his generosity any further than my necessities imperiously require.
If I could obtain the pension for which I have applied soon, it might serve in some small degree to smooth my passage to the grave, which I am conscious from my present helpless condition and my increasing infirmities must be very short.
I again earnestly entreat you Honored Sir, to send me as soon as convenient a Certificate for such pension as you think proper to allow. — When you write to me, direct to William Tump, Greenville, Green County, State New York. —
I am Honored Sir very respectfully your Obedient Servant.

Wm Sump of Greenville, Green County State New York.
Declaration Supplement- ary to former Declaration made May 1837 in order to obtain a Pension

Declaration of William Sump of the Town of Greenville in the County of Green and State of New York, supplementary to a former declaration by him made in May A. D. 1837, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832, and now on file in the Pension
Office: — State of New York Green County. (ss.)
On this eighteenth day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty seven, personally appeared William Sump a resident of the Town of Greenville in the County of Green and State of New York, aged seventy five years on the twentieth day of May last passed past, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration supplementary to a former one by him made in May last and on file in the Pension Office at the City of Washington, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress, passed June 7 th 1832:
That he this declarant, did first enter the service of the United States in the Revolutionary War as a volunteer private, in the Militia of the State of New York at North Salem in the County of Westchester in the State aforesaid in the month of April A. D. 1777, under Nathaniel Delevan as Captain, and Isaac Keeler as lieutenant, and served as such volunteer private for the space of three and one half months being the time for which this declarant volunteered, as before stated by this declarant in his said former declaration. And this declarant here further states in explanation of what is stated in his said former declaration respecting this period of service, that the same was not all done at one time by said company, but said company served at first one month of which this declarant was one, and then part of General

Washington's Army being at White Plains, this Company had their election either then to serve the residue of the three and one half months or go home and serve the residue of said period when called for; that said Company accordingly did disband and go home for a time, and afterwards said Company was called to serve the residue of said period of three and one half months, and served the same in the season of 1777; and thus this declarant at these two tours served in said Company the said period of three and one half months. — And this declarant here further states in explanation of what is said respecting Nathaniel Delevan being the Captain, and Isaac Keeler the Lieutenant, that said Company was mustered for this period of service under them as officers as before stated by this declarant, but that neither of them did any actual duty in said Company for the said period of three and one half months; that Captain Delevan's wife being sick continued at home during both the above tours of service, and that the said Mrs Delevan died in the mean time and other members of the family were sick; the reason why Lieutenant Keeler did not serve the above period, this declarant does not know. — That the following named Officers actually commanded said Company during the above period of three and one half months viz, first, John Thomas as Captain and one Mr Woodward as Lieutenant, (his Christian name not recollected) for the term of one month; next Benjamin Stephens as Captain, and Mr Peacock as Lieutenant, (his Christian name also not recollected) for the space of about forty five days; and lastly for residue of said period of three and one half months, William Mosher as Captain and Nathaniel Tucker as Lieutenant. — This declarant further states, that during the above period of service he was not legally liable to do

duty in the Militia on account of his age, and that he volunteered to do duty in said Militia Company for the said period of three and one half months:— that if it is stated in his said former declaration that the said Nathaniel Delevan and Isaac Keeler as Captain and Lieutenant, actually commanded said Company during said period of three and one half months, it is there wrongly stated through mistake, but said Company was mustered for said period of service under the said Delevan and Keeler as Captain and Lieutenant as aforesaid.—
And this declarant further states, that all the periods of service done by him as stated in his said former declaration were done by him as there stated, but that he has no other proof to prove the same in his knowledge, except what has already been transmitted to the War Department with his said former declaration viz; the affidavits of Gilbert Sump and his wife.— This declarant does not know whether any of the officers under whom he served or any of his fellow Companions in arms with whom he served except the said Gilbert Sump are alive or not.— This declarant is now confined to the house by the severe inflammatory rheumatism and can only move about the room by the aid of chairs and other things.
And this declarant in answer to the statement made by the Secretary of the Pension Office Mr Edwards, that "the claimant should assign a satisfactory reason for having so long delayed his application", says that his application of May last, was the fourth application that he has made to obtain the pension for which he now applies.— That in each of the three previous applications, the papers relating thereto transmitted to the War Department were returned on account of some alleged

defect or informality in preparing them, and his  his claims remained entirely uninvestigated. - That this declarant after hearing of the passage of the act of Congress of 1832 on the subject of pensions, and as soon thereafter as he conveniently could, made his application for a pension under said act, which proved fruitless on account of some defect or informality in making out the papers as aforesaid. - That this declarant has necessarily been obliged to employ the persons whom he supposed competent to the task, to prepare and draft his pension papers; - that his application immediately previous to that of May last, was rejected because the affidavits proving his  his services were unaccompanied by his  his declaration. - That his pension papers have lain in the War Department months, before in some instances before receiving any answer from his application.
This declarant prays that this declaration may be considered as supplementary to his said declaration of May last and be taken as a part thereof; and that he be allowed for his Revolutionary services by way of Pension all that by law can be allowed him. This declarant states that he is now almost entirely helpless, and has no property except a cow and some few necessary articles of household furniture, and that his only dependence for the support of himself and his wife nearly seventy years of age, is his invalid pension of ninety six dollars per year and the bounty of his son-in law with whom he now lives.

Sir In the case of William Lump now of Hulton Schoharie Co NY an Invali'd Pen- sioner, for the increase of whose pension an appli- -cation is pending. I must inform you that I had in my possession for several months his pension certificate under the seal of the War department - I have not surrendered it to him nor delivered it to any one for his use; but on diligent search I cannot find it in my papers and therefore conclude that I have lost or mislaid it - If I should find it I will transmit it to your office -
I hope his pension may be increased and that the circumstances I have stated may be considered a sufficient excuse for not surrendering the certificate at this time
With esteem and respect

The pension in the enclosed Certificate commences 12 November, 1838, and terminates on the 4th of March, 1841, allowing a pension of 2 years 3 months & 19 days. There must be a mistake in filling out the certificate, if the widow is entitled to a five years pension. I have here therefore returned the certificate for correction.
Respectfully your Obedt Servt

Sir,
The papers of William Jump, whose letter is herewith returned, have been examined. The claimant states that he served in Capt. Nathaniel Delavan's company in 1777 three and a half months, and from that time afterwards, under Capt. Lockwood and Lieut. Keeler about twenty two months. His name is not borne on the rolls of Capt. Delavan's company for the year 1777. By the rolls of Capt. Lockwood and Lieut. Keeler, it appears that he served in both companies nine months, which is all he can be allowed, without further proof. The claimant should assign a satisfactory reason for having so long delayed his application.
The papers of Gilbert Jump do not appear to have been received at this Office.
I have the honor to be

Sir,
Schoharie April 26 1844,
In your letter of July 6, 1843, in relation to the pension claim of Mrs. Bethiah Tump, you say the proof of her husband's services is satisfactory, but the alleged date of the marriage should be established by more satisfactory evidence than the testimony of her own family. — She accordingly procured some further proof of her marriage, the affidavits, four in number, I enclosed to you December 13, 1843, were they received?
