who was fathers friend to the end of his days. that our father was a brave and patriotic man, always preserving his military dress and character, he always appeared to feel proud of his services to his country in its darkest and most gloomy period that he was wounded in risk, during the war. These deponents further make solemn oath that the most diligent inquiry has been made through the family and elsewhere for record evidence of the marriage of their said father to Mary Quant their mother, without success. but from the best data, and the most reliable information that these deponents can obtain took place in 1785 at the Red church in Guilderland already family state of New York, that no records of said church are known to be in existence prior to 1820. that the family of our said father and mother aforesaid consisted of the following named children, Frederick Kleeckman born 1786. died in childhood, Maria Kleeckman born 1787 (dead) Catherine Kleeckman wife of Luke Schmerhorn, one of these deponents born 1790.

These deponents further swear that the subject of a pension for their said mother has often been spoken of during her life time, as it was thought she was justly entitled thereto, but for ignorance of the laws, and not knowing how to proceed the subject was neglected, these deponents further solemnly swear that the facts hereinbefore stated are true, and nothing else, that we will state nothing but what we believe and know to be true, that our name is spelled Kleeckman or Klichman sometimes.
This application is made for the purpose of obtaining the arrears of pension which would have been paid to our said mother if she had lived under acts of congress of June 7 th 1838. an supplemental act of 1844, for the services rendered by their father during the war of the revolution.
