BA-J/ILL XXXXXXXXXXXXX Amos Kinney-W.26730
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to pension granted Mrs. Hannah Rowland Kinney for the service of her husband, Amos Kinney, in the Revolution.
The data furnished herein are obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 26730, based upon the service of Amos Kinne in that war.
Amos Kinne, son of Roger Kinne, was born February 11, 1765. The name was borne on the pension roll as "Kinney".
While a resident of Green River or Spencertown (later Austerlitz), Columbia County, New York, Amos Kinne enlisted in 1781 as a private in Captain Elihu Marshall's Company, Colonel Marinus Willett's New York Regiment and after serving about nine months, he reenlisted December 17, 1781 for three years; during this service he was injured in the breast by a fall against a stake, on account of which wound he had to be taken home by his father; upon his recovery, he again entered the service and was in Colonel Willett's expedition against Oswego, February 9, 1783.
The soldier married December 9, 1784 in Spencertown, New York, Hannah, daughter of John Rowland; she was born September 27, 1767.
Amos Kinne died March 15, 1813 in Rossie, St. Lawrence County, New York.
Hannah, the soldier's widow, was allowed pension on her application executed February 3, 1846, at which time she resided in Antwerp, Jefferson County, New York. She moved afterward to Rossie, New York, and in 1855 resided again in said Antwerp.

Amos Kinne and his wife, Hannah, had the following children:
John born May .... 30, 1785 Mary " January 3, 1787 Amos " ----- 1788 Barnt B. " March 1, 1803 Andrew " December 25, 1805 Lo Seane " March 5, 1807 Clarissa " July 26, 1809(?)
In 1847, Martin Kinne, a grandson, was living.
In 1846, soldier's sister, Lois Waldo, then a widow, was a resident of Rutland, Jefferson County, New York, seventy-four years of age.
Very truly yours,

Sir
In the case of Hannah Kinney widow of Amos Kinney your objection to her claim is that the terms of service set forth in her declaration are not proved to be the identical services rendered by Amos Kinney whose proof of service is annexed to her declaration. In order to show that the services rendered by her husband are the identical services which appear on the Comptroller's Certificate, I send you herewith the affidavit of Lois Waldo a sister of the husband of the applicant. Her affidavit establishes the fact that her brother rendered precisely similar services to those in proof. I do not know how to make this case any stronger. Capt Marshall under whom the 7 Mths service was performed was also a Captain in the New York levies. It does appear to me that this case is clear and unquestionable. Yr Obseqts Admiral Ely

State of New York Herkimer County
Personally appeared before the undersigned a Justice of the Peace in and for the County of Herkimer aforesaid Elijah Ford an resident of the town of Salisbury in the County aforesaid to me known who being duly sworn according to law deposes and says that he is in the Seventy fifth year of his age; is a son of the late Judge Jacob Ford, who in the time of the Revolutionary War, and before and after that period resided in what is now Spencertown in the State of New York; that his father the said Jacob Ford was considered wealthy; that he had a large estate in Land, quite a large portion of which was acquired from soldiers of the Revolution who had received it as their Bounty. This deponent further says that he knew very well John Rowland and his family and Roger Kinney & his family as they lived within a mile of his father's house. Roger Kinney had a son whose name was Asnos Kinney and John Rowland had a daughter whose name was Hannah Kinney - These two persons I knew very well living together in the relation of husband and wife - The said Asnos Kinney

has been dead a number of years his widow I am informed and believe is yet living and resides in Jefferson County or St. Lawrence County near the line of Jefferson. This deponent further says that he has seen what purports to be a copy of the Commissary of Mustering Certificate to Amos Hanny and his transfer to my father which I am informed is in the Controller's office in Albany and is in the following words - This certifies that Amos Hanny enlisted in pursuance of an act entitled "an act for raising two regiments for the defense of this state on bounties of un- appropriated lands passed the 20 th March has passed Muster this 17 th December 1781 - Jacob John Lansing
Commissary of Muster State of New York I the subscriber do hereby grant and trans- fer to Jacob Ford his heirs and assigns all my right, title and interest to the annexed Certificate and the gratuity or bounty of 500 acres of land to which I am entitled by virtue of two certain acts of the Legislature of the State of New York - the one entitled an act to raise two Regiments for the defense of the State on Bounties of unappropriated Lands passed the 20 th March 1781 and the other an act entitled an act for raising troops to complete the line of this state in the service of the United States & the two Regiments to be raised on bounties of unappropriated

Lands and for the further defence of the frontiers of this state passed the 23 rd March 1782 As witness my hand and seal this 11 th May 1782
Sealed & delivered in the presence of Amos Kinnery mark Robert McFarlin
This deponent further says that he does not of his own knowledge know that his father bought Amos Kinnerys Land Certificate, or that the above is a copy of the transfer, but this deponent does believe that Amos Kinnery who married Hannah Rowland or who lived with her as his wife was a soldier of the Revolution and in consequence of his service did receive a Certificate for 500 acres of Bounty Land and that he did sell the same to his Father the said Jacob Ford; that his belief is founded upon the facts set forth above that his father did buy soldiers bounty lands, and that he remembers well that it was reported that Amos Kinnery had been a soldier and had sold his Land and from the fact that his father knew this Amos Kinnery for he & his father as this deponent believes were frequently in the employment of the father of this deponent the said Jacob Ford - This deponent is further in-

1 12 provid with the belief that he has heard conversations between his father & the said Amos respecting said Land, but that it is so long ago he cannot now undertake to state par- ticularly; but he believes from what he remembers to have heard that Amos Kimney's father got the most of the pay & that one of the items was a cow. This deponent entertains no doubt but Amos Kimney did serve in the Revolution, did acquire right to Bounty Land and did will it to his father Jacob Lord and that this Amos Kimney was the husband of the said Hannah Rowland who he now believes is his widow residing in Jefferson or H. Lawrence County This deponent further says that he is not in any way related or con- nected with the said Hannah Kimney or any of her family nor has he any interest in the matter to which this relates but has made this affidavit with a view to help Mrs Kimney to a pension which he is informed she is an applicant for — Elkan Toul

On this 27 th day of October 1849 personally appeared before the undersigned a justice of the Peace in and for the County aforesaid Hannah Kinney a resident of Rossie in the County of St. Lawrence in the State of New York aged 82 years who being first duly sworn according to Law doth upon her oath say that in the year 1846 she made a declaration for a pension under the several acts granting pen- sions to certain widows in which she briefly stated the services her husband had rendered in the Revolutionary war. If she remembers she stated that her husband Amos Kinney after having served one or more tours under Capt Marshall enlisted for during the war and went into the service & while in the service was injured in the breast & his father went & brought him home, when he lay dangerously ill for some time, having some 70 fits as after he had recovered and after he recovered he returned into the ser- vice and continued therein until Peace when he returned a poor ragged Lousy soldier with an honorable discharge some time in the winter or spring of 1784 - This she believes is about all she stated in regard to his service. She now wishes to add to state in addition that she was well and intimately acquainted with the said Amos Kinney before he went into the service; that she knows that

he did serve faithfully a long period of time in the Revolution as well as it was possible for her to know it she a woman & not being in the service. She further states that she knew Judge Jacob Lord, that Judge Lord, her Father John Rowland and Roger Kinney all lived near each other. This deponent further says that her husband became entitled to Bounty Land and as she has understood from her husband it was sold to Judge Lord for a small amount and that her husband the said Amos Kinney used to complain that his father kept the pay which was a cow among other things. This deponent further states that as her claim was not allowed by the Commission of Pensions, it was brought before Congress and she is informed that a bill or law giving her a pension was passed by the House of Representatives, but was not acted upon by the Senate. This deponent further says that she is informed that a son of the late Judge Lord, living in Salisbury has given evidence which with that heretofore presented will make her case free from objections she prays the Commission of Pensions to take her papers

from the files of the Senate where she supposes they are and grant her Certificate of Pension under the Laws of Congress, allowing pensions to widows of Revolutionary soldiers passed July 7. 1838, March 3 1843, June 17th 1844 and February 2 1848

I Amasa Martin, a resident of the Town of Grafton in said County of Rensselaer, aged 87 years and upwards, being a Revolutionary Pensioner of the United States under the act of June 7th, 1832, being duly sworn according to law, do depose and say that in the latter part of the War of the Revolution I moved from the State of Connecticut to Green River in the present County of Columbia in said State of New York and was there well acquainted with Amos Kinney then also living at said Green River. That in the year 1781 Deponent and the said Amos Kinney both entered the Company of Nine months men commanded by Captain Elisha Marshall, which Company belonged to the Regiment commanded by Colonel Willet, and were called Nine Months Men, or New York State Levies. That at the time Deponent and the said Amos Kinney entered the said Nine Months Service under the said Captain Marshall they both lived at said Green River in said County of Columbia and within less than one mile of each other. They were intimately and well acquainted with each other and entered said Company together and served together in said Company at the different Posts in the Valley of the Mohawk River in said State of New York until the expiration of their said Nine months, when they were duly discharged from the said Company at Fort Hunter on the said Mohawk River on the first of January, 1782, and both immediately returned home to Green River aforesaid. That during the aforesaid Nine Months that the Deponent and the said Amos

Kinney served together in the Company of the said Captain Marshall, in the Valley of the Mohawk River, in 1781, as aforesaid, the said Amos Kinney was a brave and good soldier. That after Deponent and the said Amos were discharged as aforesaid and returned home, the said Amos Kinney enlisted into the service for three years under the said Colonel Willet and went out on the expedition against Oswego under the said Colonel Willet where the said Amos Kinney served for said time, but as Deponent did not serve with the said Amos Kinney on this said three years service and on the said expedition against Oswego Deponent will not attempt to describe his services on the said expedition against Oswego. Deponent served in company with the said Amos Kinney only during the aforesaid nine months under the said Captain Elisha Marshall in 1781 as aforesaid. That immediately after, or at least very soon after the close of the said War of the said Revolution and as Deponent now calculates in the fall of 1783, the said Amos Kinney was duly married to Hannah Rowlin with whom Deponent was also well acquainted and who also then lived in the same neighborhood on said Green River and at that time, to wit in the fall of 1783, within one mile from this Deponent. Deponent was also well acquainted with the said Hannah Rowlin when the said Hannah Rowlin was a girl and before she was married as aforesaid to the said Amos Kinney. After the said Amos Kinney and the said Hannah Rowlin were married to each other as aforesaid they commenced keeping house.

and living together as husband and wife and were so living together on said Green River when Deponent moved from said Green River which Deponent did not long after they were married as aforesaid. They were married to each other as aforesaid in the fall of 1783, at the residence of the father of the said Hannah, whose name was John Rowlin, and who lived on said Green River, in the presence of Deponent who saw it. The said Amos Hinney moved with his wife the said Hannah from Green River aforesaid as Deponent has been informed to Montgomery County in the said State of New York and afterwards as Deponent was informed to Antwerp in Jefferson County where the said Amos died a number of years ago and left his wife the said Han- nah a widow, who was living in said Ant- werp the last that Deponent heard from her.

Chester (Vermont) Mar. 20/48 Hon. L. L. Edward Dear Sir,
If it is not incompatible with your duty & also the rules & regulations of the Pension Office, I should like to make some inquiries respecting the proof which is required under the act of 1831. There are two old Revolutionary soldiers in this town one belonged to the Rhode Island & the other to the Connecticut Militia, & both were called into the U. S. Service for a period of over six months at different times. Now what I wish to know is this. Does the Department require second evidence of such services, or if it receive parol evidence, does it require more than one witness aside from the applicant's own oath? Are there any records in the Pension Office of services rendered by the militiamen of these two states? are of so are they open to inspection of any one who may choose to examine them?

Will the Department give the information, if required, whether any particular man is drawing a pension at his residence?
If the above questions can be answered correctly with the type, I shall be greatly obliged.
I am Sir Truly your obt Servt Arthur Adams

Sir
Watertown Sept. 19. 1847
In your letter of the 8 th Sept r m o in relation to the application of Hannah Kinney widow of Amos Kinney for a pension you say "that if the facts in regard to the service and bounty lands of the several persons referred to in the testimony of Richard Scully be true, they are susceptible of very satisfactory proof from the records in the County in which the land is situated. Such evidence should be produced particularly in regard to the Land purchased by Judge Ford of Amos Kinney."
It is claimed on the part of Mrs. Kinney that her husband served during war and the bounty land which was sold to Judge Ford. In proof of the fact that he did perform this service - She has shown 1 st that Amos Kinney did enlist for the war & served March 17 th - Dec 1781 - See the certified Copy of the Certificate given by Jacob M c Lannan - 2 nd It is shown that on the 11 th May 1782 Amos Kinney sold to Judge Ford his Certificate of right to 500 acres bounty land - See the attested Copy of the assignment on file in your office - 3 rd It is shown that by the same laws which encouraged the enlistment of soldiers by bounty of land - the Law of 20 March 1781 & 23 March 1782 Jacob M c Lannan did locate 8000 acres of land in a body all soldiers bounty lands - 4 th It is shown that Judge Ford & Amos Kinney husband of applicant were neighbors - See the affidavits of Mr. Scully is positive that her husband Amos

Henry did sell his land to Judge Lord after having performed the services of a man He descended into particulars and said two other young men went with the service in the same way at the same time - that they divided - that one took his & the other settled his - & that they all then came out, having together &c.
By the enclosed certificate of the Dept. of State, it will be seen that the son spoke of Mrs. Hawley did receive hereditary land -
The reason why the same kind of evidence cannot be found in regard to Amos Hawley is that his lot was never separately located but by Judge Lord & others in a body - I beg you to carefully examine all the facts in the case - It does appear to me that in no case can a widow more clearly prove her claim than Mrs. Hawley has here -
Very Respectfully Your Father Daniel D.
J. L. Edwards Esq.

Washington 27 th March 1848
Sir
I this evening recd your note announcing the decision of your office in the case of Mrs. Kinney & I regret to learn that it is an unfavorable one - requiring proof that I fear it is out of her power to procure. It is not my purpose to argue the question with the Commissioners - but having been furnished with a statement of the case by Mrs. K s agent I have concluded to submit trouble you with my views of the evidence & to request that if it is possible that the case may be re-examined again. My only motion for doing so is that she is a very respectable woman & would be greatly benefited by the receipt of this pension.
In the statement furnished me by the agent he says that "the Commissioners admits as satisfactorily proven the marriage before 1794 - the death of her husband & her widowhood." Your note of today states that the is papers are satisfactory to show that Mrs. Kinney to whom the lot of land for service in New York was awarded transferred the same to Jacob Ford. But they do not

show that that soldier was the husband of Mrs K. I most respectfully submit that "an Amos Kinnery " did serve in the New York Militia 7 months 21 days ending Oct 31. 1791.
It is shown as I am advised that an Amos Kinnery enlisted into the Continental line & was mustered as is shown by the certificate of the Muster Master. Did he serve under that enlistment? It was under this enlist- ment that he became entitled to the bounty land That land it is conceded he became transferred to Ford. And it is not probable that he used the land without performing the service requisite to entitle him to it.
The Records of New York I understand contain the name of but one person by the name of Amos Kinnery. if so then it would only be necessary to show that the husband of Mrs Kinnery served in the New York. Is this proved. She & her husband lived in that state Mrs K. & her sister swear that he served twice was returned home sick from inferior line as Mrs said in the service. Another person I understand swears that he was a soldier W Huntly a clergyman swears that he knew Amos Kinnery & his wife intimately - that he left home twice for the army & returned sick enlisted again & was finally discharged. That he had two Cousins who entered the service

at the same time it is proved that they did so by having issued their bounty bond.
It seems to me that from this evidence the Conclusion is irresistible that Henry Seward as claimed. And that the grant of bounty bond (which it is admitted in your note of today is sufficiently proved) is Conclusion on that point. The Certificate of the the  late Minister Master, with an appor- ment of his bounty bond to the Ford, being found in the Comptroller's office is also Conclusion. That the last  hand person signing was the per- son entitled. Now if it is admitted that the signature to that paper is in the handwriting of the husband of Mrs. E. it must settle the question independent of all other evidence Whether this is proved I do not know - I suggest for the consideration of the Commissioners -
I may from the very slight knowledge I have of this case be mistaken wholly in the bearing of this evidence - if not I cannot but think that this is sufficient. I hope therefore the Court will look at it again & if it can be done consistently with his duty allow this old lady the benefit of the law.
With great respect
I am Sir

I enclose herewith the affidavits of Richard H. Cutting and Diana Walling. In my judgment they fully identify the husband of Mrs. Deborah Rimmer as the identical Jonas Rimmer who served in the New York line in the army of the Revolution. The evidence of where services are on file with her papers is of very particular attention to the steward of the Old Stock church for they are clear on the subject. He could not particularize dates excepting his birth & therefore has not attempted to define the years of the service of Rimmer. This is as far as we have an explicit claim.

I have the honor to inform you that the papers presented by you in the case of Hannah Kinney widow of Amos Kinney are satisfactory to show that Amos Kinney whom the lot of Land for service in New York was awarded ; transferred the same to Jacob Ford. But they do not show that that soldier was the husband of Claimant - Mrs Kinneys declaration being based upon the certificate of the Comptroller of New York which gives a transcript of several payments made to the name of Amos Kinney for service in the service of that State, That certificate cannot of course be admitted as evidence of the service set forth in her application. Unless, therefore, she can show by respectable and intelligent witnesses who had a personal knowledge of her husbands service, and can testify that he was the identical person to whom, the lot of Land conveyed by Amos Kinney to Jacob Ford was awarded, she cannot be allowed a pension for the service rendered by that soldier. upon this point no satisfactory evidence has been adduced. The proof of the date of Mrs Kinneys Marriage is also defective

The declaration and evidence forwarded by you in the case of Mrs Hannah Brinn having been examined and filed.

The Certificate of the Secretary of State of New York shews that William Haveren and Peter Haveren belonged to the Continental Line. They could not therefore, have served with James Brinn the husband of Hannah Brinn. This certificate therefore, does not support the testimony of Richard Brinn, heretofore presented in support of Mrs Brinn's claim. The name of claimant's husband is not found upon the New York Line, and the evidence now produced is not at all satisfactory to identify him with the soldier of Col. Willets Regiment.

The additional evidence in the case of Hannah Kinney, widow of Amos Kinney does not identify her husband as the soldier of Col. Millet's Regiment, bearing his name, with the requisite certainty. Of the facts as regards the service and County Lands of the several persons referred to in the testimony of Richard Kountz, be true, they are susceptible of very satisfactory proof from the records in the county in which this land is situated. Such evidence should be produced, particularly as regards the lands purchased by Indys Ford of Amos Kinney. Mrs Kinney's claim cannot be admitted upon the proof now filed.

Jefferson County ss
! Lois Waldo, widow, a resident of the town of Rutland, County and State aforesaid being duly sworn according to law depose and say that I am in the seventy fourth year of my age, am the daughter of Roger Kinnery and sister of Amos Kinnery deceased whose widow Hannah Kinnery is an applicant for a pension. My father & his family resided in the time of the Revolutionary War in Spencertown thirty miles below Albany. I remember perfectly well that my brother went into the Revolution and was gone about seven months and returned home, and said he had enlisted into the new Regiment which he was to receive Land for his service. I remember that there was considerable talk about his Land, but was so young I don't know that I perfectly understood it all so as to be able to remember now the particulars. In a few days I think about a week, my brother left home and joined the Army and after he had been gone some months I do not now recollect exactly how long, my father received a letter from my brother Amos from the Army there where he was on Lake Champlain. My brother while in the service at that place in the night fell into a hole and his breast struck upon a stake, which made a severe wound

on his breast, breaking in his breast bone, a place nearly as large as a silver dollar. My brother's letter to my father was on the subject of this injury. My father went immediately to Lake Champlain and was gone some time before Amos my brother was able to ride and when he started for home he could only ride a few miles in a day. He suf- fered very severely from fits, having a great number in a day, he was bled very often by which and other remedies the fits became less frequent until they entirely left him & he so far recovered as to join his regi- ment and serve his time out and was honorably discharged. I remember the names of a number of officers who were in the service and of whom I have consider- able said among whom was Col. Willet & Capt. Marshall and it is my impression that my brother was under Capt. Marshall but cannot swear positively.

Jefferson County & Richard Huntley being duly sworn according to law deposes and says that he was born in the town of Lynn in the State of Connecticut on the 3 rd day of December 1768 at the age of seven my Father of which Huntley with his family removed into the State of New York and settled in the County of Columbia in what was then called Green River in the now town of Hunteritz - Roger Kinney and his family lived in the same town and within about three fourths of a mile of the place where my father settled - I soon became acquainted with the family and intimately acquaint- ed with his son Arnot Kinney who was a few years older than the deponent - and who soon after the war terminated married Hannah Rowland a daughter of John Rowland who was also from Connecticut and lived about one mile from Roger Kinney's. I remem- ber that my father was called into the Revolutionary service - I think on a draft and went into the service and was gone until Fall - I cannot tell the year, nor the month in which he returned but I know that he was gone in the summer, because his family was destitute of bread and poor and got money to buy bread

111 from the sale of Black & White Berrys which they sold in Spencertown. — The next year there was another call my father did not go, but undertook the charge of six families. — I was quite a large boy and helped him reap grain, and therefore believe I must have been about thirty years old when my father was drafted and went into the service. — Arnes Hinney went into the service at the same time my father did and returned when he did — but I do not know in what company or whether he served with my father or not. — My father said that he served his term on the Wechawk & was at Stone Arabia Fork Plain etc. — I remember that there was a law giving large bounties in land for soldiers five hundred acres and a great call for soldiers for three years or during the war. — And I know that Arnes Hinney immediately af- ter his return with my father enlisted into their service. — I had two cousins living in the same vicinity who enlisted with Hinney — their names were William Havens and Peter Havens

I was at work in New Canaan at the the time they enlisted but I was at home and saw the three go off together; whether they all served in one Regiment or not I cannot say - Kinney was hurt and was brought home by his father, but soon went back into the service - After the war was over these men found all the young men into a company and took turns in teaching them to be soldiers. I belonged to the company and used to attend every Saturday and was killed by them - These men all received Brunt's Land. William Haven sold his to Elisha Henry if I remember right - Peter moved on to his which was situated near Seneca Lake and Amos Kinney sold his to Jacob Ford. Jacob Ford lived in the same place with Roger Kinney, they were near neighbors - Jacob Ford was a wealthy man and a judge - I continued my occupation til the said Kinney was married and moved his family out of the County and I have seen him afterwards - I moved into the

town of Philadelphia County of Lehigh State of New York about twenty seven years ago and about two years there after was informed that Amos Kinney was dead and his widow residing in St Lawrence County New York
I soon after saw her and have seen her several times since - I have not seen her in several years past but am informed that she now lives in the town of Antwerp - I am quite certain that the said Amos Kinney served more than two years though I never saw him in service and have no knowledge of the facts in relation to his service from com- mon reports, conversation & the conversation of other men - I am a licensed Preacher of the Gospel, and have been for a number of years - I have no interest in the pension, which I un- derstand Mrs Kinney is asking for and only wish her to have what the law gives her

Hannah Kinney of the town of Rossie in the County of St. Lawrence in the State aforesaid being sworn according to Law doth on her oath say that she is the widow of Amos Kinney and a pensioner of the United States under the act of February 2 d 1848 at $26 66 / 100 per annum; that this amount has been allowed her under the act of July 7, 1838 & March 3 d 1843 & 17 th June 1844, it being as she supposes for the services rendered by her husband in the New York levys under Lt. Col. Willett. This deponent further says that her husband the said Amos Kinney after that he had served the aforesaid term for which she has been pensioned enlisted into one of the New York Regiments for during the war, the evidence of which is with her papers on file in the pension office, it being a certified copy of the Muster Master General's Certificate showing him regularly enlisted for during the war and the evidence of his service is to be found in the affidavits of Richard Huntley and Elijah Ford. It is known that he regularly enlisted for during the war, that he received Bounty Land and sold it to Judge Ford. This deponent knows as well as she can know any thing that she has not seen performed that her husband served in the war of the Revolution more than two years. She

was well acquainted with him before he went into the service and cannot be mistaken
She therefore respectfully asks the Commissioner of Pensions to review her case and do her justice by allowing her a pension of $80 per annum deducting therefrom the amount received by her present pension Sworn & Subscribed Hannah X Kinney before me this 6th day mark of December 1849 John Marshall J.P.

As Lumpkin Esq
Dear Sir I send herewith, the affidavit of Hannah widow of Amos Kinney in addition to her declaration &c and also the affidavit of Elijah Ford son of Jacob Ford who bought the soldiers bonus Land viz; her husband's. I also enclose the letter of Hon. J. Mullen to the Secy of the Navy requesting a return of the papers to the Pensions office, also copies of several letters rec'd from the Commr. in relation to said claim. I am sick & must make a short story. The facts briefly are these. Amos Kinney served in the New York Levis some 6 or 7 months & then enlisted for the war in on the New York Aft. which entitled him to a bounty here 500 acres. The proof of service is the certificate of the Comptroller of N.Y. of payments of money 7 monthly, then a careful copy of his discharge mustard into the service & a copy of the trans- fer of his certificate for the same to the Sale thereof to Jacob Ford. It is also certified that Ford located large bodies of public Land for soldiers bounties. The name of Kinney can not be found, nor the name of any of those soldiers who sold to Jacob Ford & others their bounty lands.

The muster certificate, the affidavit the applicant, that of her sister, the affidavit of the Rev. Richd Huntley, whose testimony is corroborated by the Controller in regard to the two Haven's brothers who returned with Kinney & the affidavit now in hand of Ford I think fully establish the service - As to identity it is now beyond a question. Marriage found by Mrs Waldo & the Bible Record admitted as you will see to be satisfactory - though afterwards as you will see said to be unsatisfactory - All the parties lived in the same neighborhood & were well acquainted before the time Mrs Kinney was married in 1784. Now I wish you to take charge of this matter, get the papers back to the Pension office & after a thorough examination of the case argue it before the Com. It is a just, an honest claim & should be allowed.
Please acknowledge the receipt of these papers & give me your terms either in money or a proportion of what I may receive. I will send you money if your claim is - Very Respectfully Yr Obedt Servt Admiral Ely

In a short time before the close of the last Session of Congress a Bill passed the House granting a pension to Hannah Kinney, & the papers were sent to the Senate & are now I presume on its files. The agent of Mrs. Kinney has now additional proof which will enable him to have the pension allowed at the pension office & therefore desires that the papers may be transferred to that office. I wish therefore you would have the kindness to have the transfer made so that it may be acted on at an early day. By so doing you will confer a favor on

If upon a review of the testimony now on file with the that now forwarded, you shall deem the case a good one, I trust that the old and highly respectable lady whose span of life is nearly complete, may receive her pension money and add some solace to her exit from this stage of life.

Dear Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim W. 26730, it appears that Amos Kinne was born February 11, 1765 and was the son of Roger.
While a resident of Spencertown, Green River, or Austerlitz, Columbia County, New York, Amos Kinne enlisted in 1781 as a private in Captain Elihu Marshall's Company, Colonel Marius Willett's New York Regiment. After serving about seven or nine months, he re-enlisted December 17, 1781 for three years; during this service he was injured in the breast by a fall against a stake. When he recovered, he again entered the service and was in Colonel Willett's expedition against Oswego, February 9, 1783.
He married at Spencertown, New York, December 9, 1784, Hannah who was born September 27, 1767 and was the daughter of John Rowland.
The soldier died March 15, 1813 at Rossie, St. Lawrence County, New York.
His widow, Hannah, was allowed pension on her application executed February 3, 1846, at which time she was a resident of Antwerp, Jefferson County, New York. She afterward moved to Rossie, New York, but resided at Antwerp again in 1855.
Amos and Hannah Kinne had the following children:
John born May 30, 1785 Mary " January 3, 1787 Amos " 1788 Barnt B. " March 1, 1803 Andrew " December 25, 1805 Le Seane " March 5, 1807 Clarissa " July 26, 1809 (?)

A grandson, Martin Kinne, was living in 1847.
The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to Amos Kinne who was born September 3, 1708 and who died September 19, 1775; and said records fail to afford any further information relative to Roger Kinne.
Very truly yours,
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.
