Honorable J. H. Sinclair House of Representatives Ives
My dear Mr. Sinclair:
In response to your letter of the 7th instant, in behalf of Hon. George F. Hunt of Beach, North Dakota, I have the honor to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim W. 16302 it appears that Peter Hunt was born September 28, 1757 in Dover, Dutchess County, New York. His mother's name was Sarah. She was born December 2, 1726 and married March 26, 1744, her maiden name not stated, neither is the name of soldier's father given. After death of soldier's father she married a Mr. Cary. She died July 10, 1816.
Peter Hunt while a resident of Dover, Dutchess County, New York, enlisted in 1775, served four months as private in Captain Colby Chamberlain's New York Company and was discharged April 1, 1776, on which day he again enlisted in Captain Child's Company, Colonel Henry Livingston's New York Regiment, served a short time and then enlisted in Captain Andrew Moody's Company, Colonel Lamb's Regiment of Artillery and was discharged in the spring of 1777 having served eleven or twelve months.
He enlisted again in the spring of that year and served

one year and two months, was at the burning of Esopus, and a part of the time served under Captain Jackson on a guard at Poughkeepsie, all in the New York Troops.
He was allowed pension on his application executed September 14, 1835 while a resident of Kortright, Delaware County, New York. He died August 25, 1838 in said Kortright.
Soldier married September 15, 1777, or 1779 (both statements made by soldier's widow, and 1779 as shown on family record on file with the pension claim) in Nine Partners or Olong (which was later called Amenia), Dutchess County, New York, Hannah Benson born May 15, 1761, of Pawlings (later called Dover), Dutchess County, New York. She was allowed pension on her application executed March 3, 1838 while living in Kortright, New York. Their children were:
Susannah born December 28, 1779, married March 30, 1803. Ambrose " January 21, 1781, married January 20, 1811. Jacob " December 27, 1784, married in March 1815. Peter, Jr. " July 30, 1788. Benson " September 11, 1792, married June 18, 1818. William " December 24, 1798, married March 6, 1821. Hiram " June 8, 1801, married April 26, 1827.
Immediately following these names, the following name also appears, Priscilla Benson born March 9, 1795.
Very truly yours,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.
James's birthplace on the family record was given as Nine Partners & his wife's as Poughkeepsie. Some discrepancy of opinion as to which is correct. James's wife was born in 1761. He died in 1838. His wife died in 1838. This date should be placed in the margin.

Lee hi,
Delhi 12 Dec. 1839
I send you the case of Mrs. Hannah Hunt, taken now under the act of 1830. The old lady was still under the impression that she was married in 1779. I asked her how old she was - she said 70 - I asked her old when she was when she was married - she said 18. Then 1839 - 70 = 1769 + 10 = 1779 the year she was married. - There is no doubt the pictured record made by the schoolmaster & now in your possession tells the truth & proves the marriage - The year service in Leal. Livingston, regiment in 1776 you say is noted. The death of Peter Hunt is amply proved - you will find no obstacle in the way of sending on a certificate for half pension - I beg you to send it on as soon as you conveniently can, as I shall leave home for Albany the first of January.
Yours & Everest Root

If I misunderstand the last act and the declarations required to be perused I presume that the papers here transmitted will be sufficient to place him on the list. If anything more is required or if I have mistaken the law or duty - on will you have the goodness to inform me & put me in the right road. If you have blank forms in your office for the purpose of working out the names and proper papers you will confer a favour on a few old relics of the Revolution by sending me a set.

Delhi 16 July 1889
The Papers in regard to the claim of Hannah Hunt widow of Peter Hunt late a prisoner of the U.S. are entrusted to my care. I enclose the original papers which were handed over to the Hon. Chas. J. Parker & by him to the claimants friends. In your letter to Mr. Parker under date March 28, 1888 you say "The evidence with respect to the date of the claimants marriage is not satisfactory." I send you now the only remaining family record which shows precisely the date of her marriage. The claimants deposition is sent to show the loss of the original will & record & how & when this one was made. The oath of a party in interest is admitted in our courts to show the loss of a paper or document. I also send the affidavit of her son Ebenezer which shows conclusively the genuineness of the picture document annexed.
You say in your said letter to Mr. Parker "The claimants husband was allowed for one year service in Capt. Muddys company Col. Lambes regiment but on examination of the rolls of that company since then obtained his name cannot be found there. See that even if again he allowed for his services upon the proof can file provided the claimants application should be sustained in other respects is twelve months in Col. Livingstons regiment in 1776." If you cannot allow but half pension, allow it then "Half a loaf is better than no bread".
In my opinion however you are bound by the law & the instructions, if you allow any, to allow for the 12 months service in Col. Lambes regiment. I can establish it by argument drawn exclusively from the laws & the executive instructions under

then. But probably it would be a useless waste of time if not a trespass upon your patience & good nature. I will therefore forbear. - In a few days however, in another case I may claim your indulgence to read what I may have to say in support of the principle. Yours obedt. servt.

Some time ago I sent you some evidence in support of the claim of Mrs. Hunt widow of Peter Hunt late of the town of Northfield in the county of Bedfordshire & a pensioner of the U. S. A. I men- tioned that "half a loaf was better than no bread" & we would gladly take that if we could get no more. But I believe I stated that in my opinion, according to the law & instructions you were bound to allow the whole - I think I also stated that I intended soon to give you an argument tho' in another case which would show it & I hoped to your satisfaction. - You have probably delayed an- swering very conveniently till the re- ception of that argument. - I forward it to day, in the case of Mrs. Esther Hargreaves. This argument, if I do not mistake the case, will apply to Mrs. Hunt's much more directly than to Mrs. Hargreaves because the equities to the latter are far more complex & multifarious than to the former.
I hope, in a few days, to have a favorable return in Mrs. Hunt's case. Yours &c. Ernest Post J. L. Edmonds Esq.

Hannah Hunt wid. of Peter Hunt Sup: Evidence

State of New York
Delaware County ss
Hannah Hunt late the wife of the late Peter Hunt of the town of Kaaterskill in said county deceased a Pensioner of the United States, being duly sworn saith that the family records herunto annexed, prepared with Nathaniel Jones, Permitted to enter as it purports to be, on the 9th of February 1805 by James Hudson then a schoolmaster and board- ing at the house of her late said husband Peter Hunt. The whole of the entries then made by the said Hudson, and which they are well readily appear by the hand writing and the date, were made at the instance of her deponent. The births and marriages of the said Peter Hunt and Hannah Hunt his wife and several of the other entries were taken by the said Hudson from entries on a blank leaf of an old family bible. The said family bible had then become much worn, loose in its binding, and the said leaf on which the said entries were to be made was loose in the binding but usually kept between the old & new testaments. After the making of the said entries by the said Hudson as aforesaid the same was kept as the family record. The said blank leaf was not lost with care, & a new family bible having been some years after- wards, prepared the old bible, in the hands of children, went to ruin. But little of it now remains, and the said blank leaf has long since been lost. The entries taken from the said family record which is herunto annexed, have been inserted in the said new bible, but being compara- tively but recently done, the deponent considers the one sent as the most authentic document it is the most antient family record in her power to produce.
