Consumption of Pensions Sir
The declaration of Cleophus Thurell upon his application for a Pension under the Act of 1832 is hereby forwarded.
The Applicant is illiterate, cannot spell his own or others names & it is possible some of them mentioned in his declaration may be spelled differently on the "muster rolls" if there found. He states that he served one year in the N.Y. Militia before he was drafted into the regular Army, but was advised, that if his name was found enrolled in the lines, he need not claim under his service in the Militia.
Respectfully
A. A. Bishop
P.S. The fact that the declaration is sworn to by E.H. Leonard Clerk & the Court Record certified to by G.H. Burham Clerk, is explained by the fact that Mr. Leonard resigned his clerkship Sept 21. & Mr. Burham appointed by the Court to supply the vacancy.

Elephus Thewilliger a resident of Carlisle in said County aged seventy six years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the Act of Congress passed June 7. A.D. 1832: That about the year 1780 - the precise year he does not remember but knows that it was the year after the town of Minisink in Ulster County in the state of New York was destroyed by Captain Brandt with a company of Indians & Tories when this declarant then resided - in, (as near as he remembers) the month of October he was draughted of said Minisink from the Militia of said Minisink into the United States Continental Service, that the company into which he was draughted was commanded by Captain Abram Cutterback & Lieut. Wm Popple & the Regiment by Colonel Vantine (given name not remembered) & Major Dewitt, that the said company with others was marched by said Col Vantine northward to the Mohawk River & went into winter quarters on said River between Schoharie & Johnstown, that early in the next spring either in April or May the Regiment together with other troops under the command of Brig. Gen. James Clinton marched to Sopus in said Ulster County in N.Y. where they with this declarant remained a few weeks & then marched into "the Jerseys." That he with his regiment was chiefly engaged in defending the frontier from the invasions of the Tories & Indians & marched in various directions in that region between the Delaware & Hudson Rivers, that he was discharged about the month of August 1781.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or an annuity except the present. and he declares that his name is not on the pension Roll of any agency in any state

Sir
In reply rec d yours dated Jan 18. 1840 announcing the rejection of the claim of Sarah Parker to a pension under the Act of June 7. 1832 - During the month of Oct. last - some weeks before the application of Sarah Parker was forwarded - I sent the declaration of Eleazar Sherwillough atty for the his claim to a pension under the same act.
As an answer has been received to the last application & as I suppose they are examined in the order of their reception. I am induced to believe that Sherwilloughs application has not been received. If not please advise me & much oblige
Yours Obediently A. A. Bliss
