On the 2nd day of July 1844 personally appeared before the undersigned a Justice of the peace in and for the County aforesaid Anna Lasher widow of Conrad Lasher and formerly widow of Christian Lathers who being duly sworn doth depose and swear (as supplementary to her declaration now on file at the War Department) that Altho the statements in her original declaration may not fully "tally with the service described in the Comptroller's Certificate" she has reason to believe those statements are nevertheless true and that the service described by her as well as those contained in the Comptroller's Certificate were all performed by her former husband the aforesaid Christian Lathers but that she relies more particularly on the service contained in the said certificate in support of her claim. And this declarant further swears, that if the name "Christian Lasher" is contained in her said declaration or in any proofs accompanying the same, it is a clerical mistake of the writer, and it ought to have been written either Christian Lather her first husband and for whose services she claims a pension, or Conrad Lasher her last husband and whose widow she now remains.

Rosecrantz of the town of Little Falls in the County of Franklin being duly sworn deponent and witnesseth that he is now forty years of age - That he is a son of George Rosecrantz deceased, and a son of the Rev. Dr. A. G. Rosecrantz. That said George Rosecrantz died in the month of December 1835. and that the Rev. Abraham Rosecrantz died before the revolution of this informant and he cannot now state precisely the time when the death of said Abraham Rosecrantz happened - That according to the unvaried tradition in the family of this informant, and in the town of Germanflats & Little Falls, the said Abraham Rosecrantz was a Minister of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church and was the settled Pastor of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church in the town of Germanflats for a long period of time, commencing previous to the Revolutionary War and continuing until the death of said Abraham, which was after the close of said War -
That this informant now holds in his hands and possesses an ancient manuscript Book, purporting to be a record kept by said Abraham Rosecrantz of marriages celebrated upon him, & of the Raptism of children - That said Book is a blank book containing several quires of paper bound in parchment, and principally filled with manuscripts - That from the earliest recollections of this informant the said Book was kept by George Rosecrantz, afterwards, and was so kept by him until the time of his death when it passed into the hands & possession of this informant who holds the same until this day. That this informant hath on several occasions exhibited said Book in open Court in the County of Franklin and read it for the purpose of establishing the proof of marriage - That this informant hath no doubt that the entries in said Book are in the hand writing of said Abraham Rosecrantz.

That the pages in said Book are not numbered, except by the date of the year - Thus an a page marked at the top 1782 , there is an entry in the following form and words or nearly as they can be described - viz.
"28 th  th Christian Seder and Anna Evers"
That the character of the hand writing is such that it is difficult to give a correct representation of it in this Affidavit - That from the obliteration of a part of the entry as stated above it is difficult to say whether it means Seder or Evers - That said entry is in its proper place & position in the page and was undoubtedly written in its own on the page. That said page contains the record of Marriages - and undoubtedly was intended to show that the two persons named in said entry were married by said Abraham Rosecrantz at the time of said date.
That said entry is in the same said writing with the other entries in said Book - That the Book aforesaid is the same one now exhibited to the Hon. Augustus Boudreau upon whom this Affidavit is taken. That the town of German-flats formerly comprehended within its limits that part of the town of Little Falls, where this deponent resides -

That said Book is an ancient Manuscript Book, bound in Parchment, of the size of Foolscap paper containing a number of pages. The Book purports to be a Record of Baptisms & Marriages - That on a page of said Book under the date of 1782 is a regular entry such as is stated in the Affidavit of said Rousey That said entry is in the same hand writing with the other entries on said page, and was undoubtedly made at the time it bears date.
