Sir,
I intended to have written to you some time since, but neglected it at the time.
What I write does not relate to my own business.
William Peterson of this County - died in his life time a small Ruby Pension.
Since it has been inquired under the allegation that at some time his name was William Peters.
My Father died about one year ago aged 86 years.
Had known William Peterson from Boyhood.
He said he never heard of his hearing the name of William Peters.
I write this from Chatham Columbia County, People are talking in the Bar room when I am writing this. They think and alledge it to be a fraud.
I am of that opinion.
I write this as a matter of duty. I may be wrong.
Yours S P. Waldo.
Yours &c Charles H. Clarke of Hudson

Declaration
In Order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832
State of New York Columbia County ss. On this Seventeenth day of February in the Year one thousand eight hundred and forty four personally appeared _____ (at his residence in the town of Chatham in the County of Columbia & State aforesaid) Before me Abraham P. H. Smith one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for the County of Columbia in the State aforesaid William Peters known to me to be a resident of the said town of Chatham in the County of Columbia & State of New York aged eighty one years on the tenth day of August last who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by an act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832 to wit That he enlisted in the Army of the United States in the Year 1779 in the Month of June or July in said Year into the regiment of New York Continental troops commanded by Colonel Philip Van Cortland - That he was thus enlisted by Lieutenant Christopher Hutton at Kinderhook in said County of Columbia, and that afterwards during his service in the Army he served under said Lieut Christopher Hutton Captain Henry Pawling & various other officers of said Regiment - And declarant further saith that upwards of twenty Years ago he had an attack of the Typhus Fever from the effects of which he has never entirely recovered, And that since that time his mind has been much impaired and his memory exceedingly treacherous - That on this account he finds it difficult to give a full and connected account of his revolutionary services. Altho some of the more prominent circumstances are still clear in his recollection to wit that after his said enlistment he marched with said Regiment to White Plains and from thence passed over into New Jersey where they

afterwards went into Winter quarters at New Brunswick That during the most of the next Year (1780) declarant was on duty with said Regiment in said State of New Jersey moving from place to place and engaged in the various duties which occurred during said Year (1780) until the army went into Winter quarters That early in the summer of (1781) this declarant was duly commissioned an Ensign in said Regiment of Colonel Philip Van Cortland and that he afterwards served as ensign in the Company of Captain Henry Pawling and that he continued in said Regiment until the end of the War and that he was discharged early in the Year 1782 And this deponent further states that he retained his said commission in his possession until a few Years since, when having become embarrassed in his circumstances, his personal property was sold on execution, and among other things a chest containing old papers, among which was said commission as this deponent believes, And that since said sale he has never been able to recover the possession of said commission
And this declarant further saith that during his said service as Ensign he was often employed to perform the duties of Adjutant to said Regiment on account of his then writing a good hand and declarant verily believes that some of his writing must still remain upon the Rolls of said Regiment, and if so he requests that it may be compared with some specimens of his writing annexed to this declaration in order to determine his identity
And declarant further states that he was born at Nine Partners in the County of Dutchess and State of New York on the tenth day of August (1762) Seventeen hundred & sixty two as he has been informed & believes That his Father moved his family to the town of Kinderhook when declarant was a Young lad a number of Years previous

to the war of the Revolution and that this declarant was still residing in that part of Rindernhook now called Stuyvesant when enlisted as aforesaid by said Lieutenant Hutton
And declarant further saith that shortly after the pension law was first passed he applied to Ebenezer Wadsworth who was then living at Brainards Bridge for assistance in procuring a pension. That after Wadsworth had been engaged for some time and had accomplished nothing he was advised that said Wadsworth was not a faithful and responsible agent. That afterwards this declarants son who was then living near him in the County of Rensselaer undertook the application and so the matter rested for a number of Years until the death of his said Son About four Years ago - That declarant having become very much reduced in his circumstances and being very old and infirm about two Years ago employed John J Van Buren Esquire then a Justice of the peace in the town of Chatham to make application for a pension, but that said Van Buren has not as this declarant is informed and believes made any application for said pension
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or an annuity except the present and he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any agency in any State
Sworn to & subscribed the day and Year aforesaid before me at the residence of said William Peters

Sir
In reply to your letter of the 8 th inst. I have to say, that payment of the arrears due a deceased pensioner who left a widow, must always be made to surviving children if any, and not to the representation of children who died any during the pensioner's life time. This rule is well settled.
In the case you state therefore, James H. and Matthew Peters are entitled to the whole arrears, to the exclusion of the representation of Sally Campbell.
I return the papers.

Sir,
The papers in the case of William Peters, claiming a pension under the act of June 7 th 1832, have been examined and filed.
The alleged services of Peters should be shown by the Certificate of the Comptroller of New York, who has in his keeping the Revolutionary Rolls of that State. As the law requires that the best attainable evidence shall be produced, parole proof cannot be received, until it shall appear that no testimony of a higher order can be had.
The Certificate of the Deputy Secretary of State only shows a about a year's service as Ensign.
I have the honor, to be,
Very respectfully,
