State of New York Monroe County ss Before me one of the Justices of the Peace of the court of Monroe aforesaid, lawfully commissioned and sworn within thirty days of September Eighteen hundred and fifty three. Personally came David Lenzick, who being sworn and sworn according to law, on his oath said that he has resided of for many years past but had not resided in Rochester in said County of Monroe, and moved to Rochester from the town of Monroe, in the County of Monroe in the State of New York - that he is now fifty seven years old, and is the person, called David Lenzick, who is one of the deponents to the annexed affidavit (and named therein), taken before Percyman Sanford Esquire, one of the Justices of the Peace of the court of Passaic in said State, on the 24th day of February 1853 - that deponent and the other persons named therein, as the children and heirs at law of said Joseph Lenzick deceased, and the only children now living and the heirs at law of said Joseph Lenzick deceased. That said Joseph Lenzick, at the time of the making of the annexed affidavit before Samuel Gottschling Just Peace of Rockland County in the State of New York in the year 1858, lived within

Town of Munroe. Orange County in said State of New York. Where deponent also resided - that his said father, Nathaniel Joseph Emery, died shortly after the making of said affidavit, & which was made for the purpose of an application on his part for a pension as a soldier of the Revolution - and that he said, as deponent well believes, before any thing was effected in the matter of receiving such pension and without having received any pension or benefit from the Govern- ment - that deponent often heard his said father speak of the matter of such pension and of his intention to apply for the same, and often heard him speak of his services in the war of the Revolution, especially of those Events and Scenes mentioned in the said two amended affidavits, and of his participation therein - and deponent further saith that he was with his said father when he died, and with his mother, the deponent's mother, and shortly after her husband, in the same Township of Munroe in said County of Orange -
And deponent saith that he knew Henry Gibson, of said County of Orange, who made the amended affi- davit before him and seal, in testimony of the Peace & - and that said Henry Gibson resided in the County of Orange where

deponent moved for another count - And deponent said the true surname of deponent's father is written Tenzyck , but that it was sometimes written Dunke or sometimes written Dunke , and deponent does not know but it is written in the latter form on the muster rolls of the Service - that has been the reason of his said father not obtaining any pension - and that deponent has been applied respecting time for any pension monies out of said, and any other gift from the Government, for the Service of his said father, nor, to the best of this deponent's knowledge and belief, has either of the other heirs at law gained Joseph Tenzyck, deceased.
