The Hon Commissioner of Pensions - Dear Sir.
For use in making an application to become a member of The Sons of The American Revolution I desire a statement from the records of your office showing the military history of Joel and Comfort Redway and also of one other whose name I do not now recall. Three brothers, who served in Con- necticut regiments. All three may have been prisoners and may not have been but their widows were. I think they enlisted from Killingly, Conn.
Very respectfully

Dear Sir
I transmit herewith the disposition of Reserved Reckany whose name has been on the pension roll but taken off on account of property - His papers are in file in your office. If he has made any mistake it is on account of the failure of his memory.
I have known him for twenty years & no man maintains a better character for truth. If anything further shall be needing please inform me.
I wish to be informed if there are any papers on file on behalf of Sarah Holobard or Holbert. He says he sent affidavits of witnesses about six years since.

They are now dead - I wish to know what the affidavits contain -
I am truly Yours (D. Wardwell

Dear Genl. D. Edwards.
Sir — I am informed that Mrs. Elizabeth Redway the widow of Preserved Redway a Rev: Sold: transmitted to your office some weeks ago her declaration under the act of July 7. 1838 to enable her to obtain a pension in which she stated that she was married on the last day of June 1788 — It seems however by the record evidence of her marriage which was transmitted a few days ago that the marriage took place on the 29 th June 1789 — one year later — It seems she was mistaken by one year in her afft — I write at the request of some of her children to assure you of the respectability &

and good character of Mrs Ridway was that, from her well known character, the mistake of the year which she made in her application must have arisen from a defective memory and not from an intention to deceive - and I trust that no unfavourable inferences will be made against her application on that account - she, & her husband previous to his death, have resided more than twenty years in this District - are highly esteemed as most worthy and respectable people - and I have no doubt that she is justly entitled to the relief which she seeks under the late pension Law
Very Respectfully

Sir,
I beg leave to state to you and the Honable members of your Committee that I have been acquainted with Preserved Redway (the Revolutionary Soldier whose Papers are now before you) for the last 15 or 20 years I have often remarked his habits of persever- ing industry, and economy: how frequently met him in the most severe storms, engaged with his team, and at other times standing upon his Brattle beside a large Tree Shop ing, by which means he has hitherto found been enabled to support his family. He has now become old, has an aged wife, and one son blind and (and another partially so,) to support, his means are small and I believe few men can be found more deserving of a Pension.

Sir:
I enclose you an application for a Pension, under the late act of June last. I am not certain that the application is in due form, but hope it will receive the favor- able.
I send the transfer from you, in the case of Earl Brathwaite, yesterday & shall be obliged to you for the forms which I requested from you, a few days since.
Yours, Respectfully, James M c Clure B. L. G. Clinton

To whom it concerns
I certify that I have been
acquainted with Preserved Redway, of the Town of Ellisburgh & County Jefferson state of New York, for over eleven years past. That he is sixty six years old. That he lost a leg by amputation in 1800. That he now has a wife, aged & infirm, & eight children. several living with him - which he is under the necessity of supporting as long as he has any property. One son aged 34 is totally blind . An- other has been some time past, threatened with total blindness, with chronic ophthalmia . Under the statute Law of this state which obliges fathers to support their children, when paupers, if they have property, I believe the actual expenditure necessary from Mr Redway for that purpose might be such as soon to render him a Pauper, or unable to support him self.
