Enclosed please find additional evidence in the Bounty Land Claim Claimed under Act of 1855 of Mary widow of Abraham Lugin, dec. N. 248.
It will be seen that Mrs. E. Lugin and David R. Lugin testify as to the general reputation of Abraham Lugin as a soldier of the Revolution, and a communication of the receipts and issues attached will also show that the soldiers name was spelled Luffner in the year 1817, and corresponds with the name mentioned in the Certificate of the Comptroller of New York now on file.
Should the enclosed evidence be deemed sufficient his identity as the soldier who served, and will file further proof of marriage without delay.
Very Respectfully Lucinda D. Lugin
