Dear Sir:-
I wrote you for copy of the Pension record of John Stump - Stamp . I would also like to know the amount of Pension and for what if any disablement. It has been handed down in our family that a Joseph Sharrow received a pension of $4- per month for losing the sight of one eye and receiving a severe scalp wound which required him to wear a silver plate the remainder of his days. I was not able to find that Joseph Sharrow ever received any pension - and thought possibly this tradition applied to John Stump on the paternal side. Awaiting your favor. I remain, yours truly

Inclosed is the schedule of John Stump - Owing to his old age and extreme infirmities he made oath to his schedule about one year ago out of Court before a Commissioner qualified for such purposes and a transcript thereof was forwarded last fall to the Care (then member of Congress) at Washington But being informed that such a one was insufficient - He has (to the great danger of his life) been sworn as you may perceive in Open Court. Should the above circumstance be necessary to entitle him to back pay & more authentic information be required of the fact it will be forwarded on receiving advice to that effect - your Communications will be made to me on the subject -
I am your Obedt Servt.

Dear Sir
Inclosed you will find the declaration of John Stump & the afft of Sam l Coomeen with the necessary certificates of the Judge to entitle Mr Stump to his pension as I believe - you will perceive this to be one wherein a previous declaration had been made & I presume there will be no objection to its commencing 6 th Apr. 1818 according to your instructions to me. The Judge I perceive has made two certificates of his satisfaction & the reduced circumstances as he I presume that will not weaken his claim as I expect it was done inadvertently - Should you perceive no objection to receiving them you will please send a certificate to me at Bloomingburgh Sullivan County New York -
I am Sir J. L. Edwards Esq. Yours respectfully A. Dimmick
P.S. I am told the applicants name was formerly spelled by many 'Stump' instead of 'Stump' and perhaps it may be so returned. The pronunciation is Stump yours C.B.

Dear Sir: Would you kindly inform me about any record you might have concerning one Joseph Blarrow , who served in Revolutionary War in Colonel Websters Regiment, New York Militia of the Co. of Charlotte, now Washington?
Also any information about one John Stump (Stamp Eng. spelling) who is listed in Captain James Stewart's Co. 5 th New York regiment, commanded by Colonel Lewis Duboy (or Dubois), enlisting May 15, 1777 for the war - being transferred to Captain Israel Smith's Co., also designated 5 th Co. 2 nd New York regiment commanded by Col. Philip Cortlandt. His name last appearing on company muster roll for April 1783, dated May 21, 1783.
On record, also is an account of his previous enlistment Jan 1, 1776 in Captain Jacob Chessman's Co. 1 st New York regiment. The record is dated Feb 17, 1776 and says this regiment was in cantonment before Quebec at this time and lists said John Stump "as sick in hospital". Would your records state the nature of sickness? I have been told he lost an eye - a British cutting his head with sabre.

as he attempted to fire a canon.
In New York Balloting Book pp. 44, 88, 126, 175 there is record of his receiving 600 acres of land in Military Tract, being lot #46 - township #12 (Scipio) July 6, 1790.
Would his receiving this land have kept him for getting a pension?
I shall be very grateful for any information you are able to give me concerning Joseph Slarrow and John Stump (Stamp Eng. spelling)
Most respectfully
