Sir
Pawlings N.Y. June 12 th 1844
I recd your circular of 31 st May requesting me to state when I framed the claim of Mrs Betty Lockwood and the act under which she applied.
I beg leave to state that I commenced framing her application under the act of 4 July 1836 , in the month of May 1843 and as near as I can recollect it was about the middle of May or thereabouts. She then stated the services of her first husband Sam l Lockwood Dec d and very particularly stated that her s d husband held a certificate of services rendered under Capt n Benj n Chapman in Col l Cramers Reg t after the close of the War of the Revolution for something like thirty Pounds, and that Miss Seymour came to purchase s d certificate of her s d husband, and was accompanied by D r Benj n Miller who had been his Physician in a late sickness and by flattery of the s d Seymour and threats of the s d Physician, he consented to let him or them have the same for a very small sum of money after her s d husband recovered from his s d sick- he went from home (with her brother Abraham Hays who had sold his also) with a determination to regain his or their certificates or to give the said Seymour a severe beating, they failed in the recovery of s d certificate, not finding the s d Seymour at that time and did not get any thing more for s d certificates.
I believing her statements to be correct, caused the records of the State to be examined and found that her statements were nearly correct, the other services she was not so particular, yet she claimed he was more in the service than she could recollect, she being not married to him until 1780.
She appeared before Ezra Lockwood one of the Judges H b , and asserted her claim August 3 d 1843, and signed her name - Betty Marshall late Betty Lockwood -
Sept r 25 th 1843. her papers were returned and her declaration was taken off and a new one attached and nearly similar to the first and signed her name Betty Lockwood. I do not recollect the date - Truly yours John Holmgren. Atty. S. S. Edwards.
