A couple of weeks after, went again in company with some Continental Troops - they had got upon the Island first and drove off the Enemy - We destroyed a quantity of flour the enemy had and burnt some wheat in the stacks - Marched thence over to the tract of country which lay between the Esopus lines in New York and the Ancamp lines . I cannot name the place for it was not a Town or Village. There were scattering farm houses, but many of them deserted by their owners. Our Tents were on a Hill, and a Company of French Horse (as I under- stood) lay a while on opposite hills. We often at night went scouting in the woods & country around - Lay there about two months (according to recollection). Understood that they were somewhere near us in the direction of the White Plains . The country looked melancholy - many of the fences were burnt and the fields

Dr Sir. I found herewith the papers of Mr Ludd. About which I wish to say a word of explanation. I am told that Mr E. G. Pratt of this place, took Mr Ludds declaration perhaps a year ago & sent it to the Pension Office but it was returned, as I am informed, with directions that he must prove his services by one or more witnesses. Mr Pratt has removed to the State of Missouri. & I have not been able to find the former papers or I would send them, with this, to you. Mr Ludd has sent to New York and procured the testimony of two witnesses, whose affidavits are sent herewith - I suppose from the cost papers being required by the Pension Office, that Mr Pratt must have made out his declaration as a Continental Soldier. Mr Ludd does not so state it now, and I took his own story down without making suggestions to him or endeavoring to lead him, for I did not know until I had nearly finished his declaration that he had ever made a declaration before - Mr Ludd would never say

his story, for he is one of the most conscientious - regular, strict old Presbyterians in the country.
He states that he enlisted in the Connecticut State Troops -

Sir
I enclose herein proof of the marriage of Mary Linda , who is an applicant for a pension, to Robt Linda a deceased pensioner, previous to May 1. 1894. There is no record evidence of said marriage, a certificate of which I must forward as soon as obtained, from  Wartford having been. The old lady is so poor she has been unable as yet to furnish the means to procure such certificate.
If there is any aspect in this proof, I should be pleased to be informed, as the witness is very aged and not expected to live long. It is very difficult when sending to pen for proof, to have your rules followed in every particular. I hope however you will find this substantially correct.
Very Resply &c Oliver Major

Sir
I was much gratified on yesterday on receiving from the Hon J. H. Robinson a Certificate of pension for Mrs Gushy, whose claim was allowed after reex- amination.
I enclose herewith a Certificate properly authenticated, that there is no record of the marriage of Elizabeth to Mary An- drews in Hartford County Connecticut, the County where Mary said she, she was married. This with the proof already forwarded I hope you will find sufficient
I beg leave to make one remark in reply to yours of July 6 1848 as to the dis- crepancy in the proof of Mrs Sudd. The ob- jection is that Mrs Sudd in her declaration states that she was married in 1782, while William says that Mr Sudd in his life- time informed him (witness) that he was married to the applicant in 1786. This is a discrepancy it is true; but it is not such an one as in a Court of Law would be fatal. The point to be established by proof is that

They were married previous to the year 1794. Not that they were married on a particular day or month, this testimony then agrees that the marriage took place previous to 1794. One statement is 1782 Another 1786 both periods before the time required by law. In a court
I have alluded to this objection, because it is one that is very likely to happen with almost any person speaking of an event which has transpired so long before.
This enclosed Certificate should have been enclosed long since; but was mis- placed in my office, & not discovered from until a day or two since.
Yours Respectfully J. D. Dyer

I enclose herewith papers in the Case of Mrs. Sweet widow of Robt Sweet for a pension. It seems that no documentary evidence of the marriage can be procured, nor is there any family record of such marriage; but the evidence of the town clerk and son of the applicant, is sufficient as it appears to me to show she was married to the said Robt Sweet prior to 1794.
Respectfully Yours
