Lamb, for and during the term of the war between America & Great Britain on the Continental Establishment that he faithfully served during the war and until the year 1783 when peace was declared and he was honorably discharged from the service in the State of New York at West Point that he hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension except the present, and the following are the reasons for not making earlier application for the continuation of my pension under the act of 1820, before that act was passed I made application to Judge Miller of Onida County to obtain my pension & made a Declaration before him & procured my witnesses for a pension, and he obtained my Certificate (as he said) & I drew my pension for the part of a year soon after Judge Miller died! and I cannot tell what became of my certificate and I was further told by some people, that as the act

of 1820 required all the pensioners to take the oaths in open Court, and if they had any land if it was ever so poor, and ever so much incumbered they would not be entitled to a pension and I have waited until the present time, and should not now have called upon My Country had not necessity imperiously demanded it of me, for the support of Myself and family — And in pursuance of the act of the first of May 1820 I do solemnly swear that I was a resident Citizen of the United States on the 18th day of March 1818 & that I have not since that time by Gift — sale or in any manner disposed of my property or any part thereof with intent thereby so to diminish it as to bring Myself within the provisions of an Act of Congress Entitled "an act to provide for certain persons engaged in the Land and naval Service of the United States in the revolutionary war passed on the 18th day of March 1818 and that I have not nor has any person in trust for me any property or securities contracts or debts due to me nor have I any income other than what is contained in the Schedule hereto annexed & by me subscribed —

Real  $360 -
The above property is incumbered with debts from different persons to the amount of two hundred & sixty or seventy Dollars, and if they put their Claims in force it would sweep every cent that I am worth but that if every thing was sold at its true Value it would leave a balance due to me on the Land and property about $100 - I am by Occupation a farmer but so old and feeble that I am unable to do but little labour I have a wife fifty one years old and has been very sickly twelve years and been under the Doctors care pretty much all the time and still is now under the Doctors care I have one Girl by my first wife about forty years very sickly and has lost the use of her right Arm and her right leg, I have three small girls the oldest nearly fourteen, very sickly and has been under the doctors care two years, the other two Girls one about ten years and the other Eight years both very weakly - a good many of the above Debts were contracted for Doctors bills & for money to support my family during sickness, and the probability is such unless they soon get better, that every thing &

Mr. Frank D. Douel 1045 Keyes Avenue Schenectady New York.
Dear Sir:
I advise you that Conrad Ittig (W. 1776) named in Bureau letter of November 22, 1929, in 1825 referred to his wife, then aged about fifty-one years, and also referred to his first wife, but did not give names of either, and at that time a child by first wife was aged about forty years.
His widow Nancy stated they were married in 1810 and her name prior to her marriage was Nancy Coughnot the widow of John. The name also appears as Coughna.
The name Deitrich does not appear in this claim.
In the claim of Jacob C. Ittig (W. 26155) referred to in same letter, it appears that he married in 1821 Catharine, the daughter of Frederick Cristman of Columbia, New York; also, that a son, Jacob, by soldier's first wife, was living in Columbia County, New York in 1854, but the name of his mother is not given.
Kindly state whether you desire photostat copies of these two claims of which you requested the cost.
Very truly yours,
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.

U.S. Dept. of the Interior, Rev. & 1812 War Section Bureau of Pensions, Mr. Earl D. Church, Commissioner;—
Your letter of Nov. 22 nd received with information in regard to the Revolutionary War Pension Claims of Conrad Ittig & widow Nancy (W. 1776) also of Jacob Ittig & widow Catharine (W. 26155).
The Conrad Ittig, I am tracing married Feb. 28, 1785 to Catharina Dieterich, later, called by the family "Dedrick", while your letter calls her Nancy, indicating that Nancy was a second wife, which I do not deny, because I do not know about a second marriage. It is claimed that a man named Dedrick shot the Tory leader Walter Butler, but I am unable to trace, which Dedrick it was, by any authentic records. Do Conrad Ittig's widow's papers say anything about the Dedrick family, or who her people were? particularly her father's name?
The Jacob Ittig I am trying to trace, it is claimed married Elizabeth Weaver, they had: George born Oct. 16, 1779, Marcus b. Feb. 27, 1786, Catharine b. Feb. 4, 1788, Henry b. Nov. 9, 1789, John b. Nov. 15, 1791, Margreth b. Feb. 23, 1794 and perhaps others.
Jacob the father of the above family might have

married a second wife Catharine.
There was also a Jacob Ittig married April 5, 1795 to Susanna dau. of Peter Wohleben (Wollower) her name might have changed to Anna or Nancy.
Is it possible that in preparing the data for me, your office, got the wives crossed, and that, Catharine should be the wife of Conrad Ittig, and Nancy the wife of Jacob Ittig?
I thank you for the interest you are taking in assisting me.
Truly Yours
Frank D. Seuel

Dear Sir:
Your letter requesting information relative to the service of Daniel Butler, in the Mexican War and others, has been received and it appears that you have been advised concerning Conrad Edick and Jacob Edick through the section having custody of the Revolutionary records. The records failed to show that any claim for pension, based on service only, or death in service in the Mexican War, of Daniel Butler, has ever been filed and this Bureau would not have a report of his service unless it had been requested for use in consideration of a pension claim, as all military and naval records are under the jurisdiction of the War and Navy Departments. If you desire information relative to this man's service, a request therefor should be addressed to the General Accounting Office, Navy Department Division, Washington, D. C., if his service was rendered in the United States Navy during the Mexican War as indicated in your letter.
Very truly yours,
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner

Did Conrad Edick of Frankfort, Herkimer County, N.Y. apply for Revolutionary War Pension? If so, how many pages are there to be photo statted .
In the Mohawk Valley German Church records I find the name spelled "Ittig" and I think on his tomb stone "Edel".
Did Jacob Edick of Deerfield, Oneida Co., N.Y. or Schuyler, Herkimer Co., N.Y. apply for Revolutionary War Pension? If so, how many pages are there to be photo statted .
Did Daniel Butler of Frankfort, Herkimer County, N.Y. (I think) apply for Pension in the Mexican War. That is, it would have been his widow Mary, who applied as Daniel Butler was killed in the Mexican War on ship board.
