Sir,
With this is Abigail Reed's application for a pension. An answer may be mailed to E. Holmes, Morrisville, Madison Co. N.Y. When this matter is decided if the paper containing the births of her children, should be of no use to be kept I suppose the old lady might be gratified to have it returned.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request details of family history from the record of David Reed, a pensioner.
The record of David Reed is furnished herein as found in the papers on file in pension claim, W. 22051, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
David Reed, while a resident of Pittsfield, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, enlisted September 4, 1782, and served as private in Captain Wattles' company, Colonel Smith's 6 th Massachusetts regiment until June 10, 1783, at which time he was transferred to Captain Houdin's company, Colonel Sprout's 2 nd Massachusetts regiment and served until sometime in the winter of 1783, was then transferred to Captain Jackson's company in the American Regiment and served until June 30, 1784, on which date he was discharged at West Point; entire length of his service was one year, nine months and twenty-six days.
The soldier resided in Greenfield, Saratoga County, New York, in 1787, and moved from there to the section which was later known as Stockbridge, Madison County, New York. Stockbridge was made from parts of Vernon and Augusta, Oneida County, New York, and Lenox and Smithfield, Madison County, that state.
David Reed was allowed pension on his application executed on "the second Monday in September, 1832"; he was then a resident of Augusta, Oneida County, New York, aged sixty-seven years, the date and place of his birth and names of his parents not shown.
The soldier died February 12, 1846, in Stockbridge, New York.

David Reed married in March, 1791, or on July 7, 1791, Abigail Bellknap. The wedding ceremony was performed at the home of her sister, Elizabeth, the wife of Oliver Buel, in Greenfield, Saratoga County, New York.
Abigail Reed, the soldier's widow, was allowed pension on her application executed February 8, 1847, at which time she was seventy-three years of age; the date and place of her birth and names of her parents are not shown. She was living with her son, Oliver Reed, in Stockbridge, Madison County, New York, at that time.
The soldier and his wife had twelve children, their names and births shown as follows:
   Alexander  Reed, born  April  11, 1792.    Elizabeth  " "  February  2, 1794.    Zebulon  " "  March  6, 1796.    David Hiram  " "  March  27, 1798.    Oliver  " "  May  4, 1800    Simeon  " "  July  9, 1802.    Anna  " "  November  10, 1804.    Nancy  " "  March  17, 1807.    Philander  " "  April  4, 1810.

In 1846, Elizabeth Buel was a resident of Delaware County, New York; her husband, Oliver, had died in Middlefield, New York; she was referred to as a pensioner. She made affidavit in behalf of her sister, Abigail, for pension.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name of

1465 person paid, and possibly the date of death of Abigail Reed, the widow of David Reed, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, citing the following:

Sir,
In answer to your letter to the Secretary of the Interior, respecting the pension due the heirs of Mrs Abigail Reed, I have to inform you that the enclosed printed instructions will afford the information desired.
When duly authenticated, the vouchers must be sent to J. W. Olcott, Pension Agent at Albany, N.Y.

(act 48)

Pension Office, August 14th, 1847.
Sir,
The additional testimony in the case of Abigail Reed, widow of David Reed, does not establish the date of their marriage with the certainty required by the regulations. Solomon Childs is not certified to be a credible witness, and he has not stated the data upon which his recollection of the circumstances referred to in his affidavit were based. If he has a memorandum of the date of that Reed commenced work for him, or of the period of his removal from Greenfield, he should state it; and the records of the County of Saratoga should show the time Reed purchased the land on which he resided after his marriage. My Reed's claim cannot be admitted upon the proof now on file.
I am, Sir, respectfully, Your Ob. Servt. J. L. Edwards
E. Holman Esq. Maurineville Madison Co. New York.

Station Office, March 9th, 1847.
Sir,
In the case of Abigail Reed, widow of David Reed, the service of her husband for twelve months is admitted; but the papers furnished by you afford no satisfactory evidence of the date of their marriage. It should be shown that the records of the Town or church of Greenfield contain no evidence of the date of that event, before the testimony of individuals can be received. The paper purporting to be a family record does not bear that appearance of age that would make it available as proof of the marriage of these parties before 1799. But, although it is not satisfactory as proof, having become a part of the files in this case, cannot consistently with the rules of this Department be returned.
The witnesses should show, by some well remembered fact connected with the marriage of Mrs Reed, the means by which they are enabled to testify to the particular date on which it was solemnized. This has not been done in the testimony now presented.

Sam, Va., Very respectfully, Dear Mr. President, J. L. Edwards
Sir,
Since this letter was recd. in the matter of the application of Mrs. Abigail Reed for a pension, the papers have been procured, which are enclosed, and are submitted in her behalf. Upon examination they shall be found sufficient information of a decision, and a pension certificate, if granted may be mailed to the subscriber. July 17. 18.

The town of Stockbridge was erected May 20 th 1836 by act of the Legislature of this State from parts of the towns of Vernon & Augusta in Oneida Co. and Smithfield and Lenox in Madison County, and it may be, that the place on which Reed lived when he made his application was then in Smithfield or Augusta.
The evidence of this widow's case will consist of the deposition of a sister who was present at her marriage to Reed her late husband. To this can be added the deposition of one or more of their children stating the time they can remember that Reed and this widow lived together as husband and wife. I am informed that they raised twelve children to full age, ten of whom are now living. The eldest of these is said to be now fifty four years of age, and the age of the son who is now trying to help his mother to this pension is forty six, and his deposition of the time he remembers they lived together as husband and wife can be forwarded without trouble if it would be of any use. If such proof would entitle her application to consideration we should be grateful for

further instructions, and a set of blank forms in which it must be made,
Yours &c.
E. Holmes

In this I send an additional affidavit of Judge Child in the matter of the application of Mrs Abigail Reed, widow of David Reed, for a pension; in which he on reference to his family record, again positively declares that the time of the marriage of David Reed to Abigail Reed the applicant, was the time stated in his former affidavit, to wit. 1791, and the existence of the record, which the defendant refers to, by which his memory is refreshed, and that the said record is truly set forth in this last affidavit William Child swear.
Is there not an ejectment pending in a court of law, in which the title of the claimant might depend on his legitimacy as heir; and that should depend upon the proof of the time of marriage of the person through whom he might claim; and a witness should swear that he was present and saw the marriage; and state the year & place, when & where; and the person by whom the marriage was solemnized; that he went with the said person to the house where it was solemnized, and knew all the parties, perhaps a jury would not long hesitate. But when in addition to this it should be required that the claimant state the year, and do so upon oath; and two credible witnesses should testify to the same time year; one of them a man of years, but certified to be a man of veracity &c, and having a right and intelligent mind and a memory clear and sound, and should state that he has a family record, made by his own hand, in his Bible; and should point to entries in that record, of the the birth and death of a daughter, near the time by which, he should swear that his memory was refreshed, and should declare positively that 1791 was the year of the marriage; and another witness, who has the custody of the record should swear to its existence, and that its contents are truly stated &c. perhaps it would be believed that such marriage had been proved with as much certainty as could reasonably be expected, where no record of the marriage had been made, & where the law of the land required no such record to be made.

Respectfully Yours &c Ebenezer Holmes

Wisconsin Territory: Personally appeared before me a Walworth County Justice of the Peace in and for said County on this 15 th day of November 1847. Salmon Child who being duly sworn do depose and say. That he this deponent, and William Child, the youngest son of this deponent who was born January 4 th 1798 have alway lived together as one family to the present time, that said William moved with his family from the County of Ontario State of New York into the County of Walworth Wisconsin Territory in June 1847. And brought with him an old family Bible. And when this deponent made his affida- vit before Esquire Med Calf of said County of Ontario. Concerning the Marriage of David Reed and Abigail his wife, he this deponent had no record, or other writings to re- fresh his memory in fixing the year that the said David and Abigail were married. But this deponent had after it recollection of his own age, of his birth days, and of his marriage of the birth of his children, and of their birth days. with the exception of his second child a daughter, who died young. And this deponent recollects well the year he went on to his new farm in the town of Greenfield, in the County of Saratoga N.Y. And of the clearing of his first, second and third fields, And that the said David Reed worked for this deponent when he cleared his fourth field, which was double the quantity of either of his other fields. From this data it appeared plain to this deponent, that said David worked on this deponent in the year 1790. And was married to the said Abigail the next year. as stated in his affidavit before said Esquire Med Calf. And further this deponent saith that on joining his son and his family again in October 1847 And examining their old family Bible. he found it then recorded in his own hand writing that he this deponent was born on the 19 th of September 1765. That this deponent was married in the month of January 1787. That his first child a son was born October 9 th 1787. And his second child a daughter was born December 27 th 1790. And who died July 31 st 1796. And the moment this deponent saw the record of the birth of his second child the daughter this deponent knew that it was the year 1790. That the said David Reed worked for this deponent for it was but a few weeks before the birth of this daughter that his time of work closed. and other things, and circumstances connected with the record of the birth of this daughter are now brought perfectly to the recollection of this deponent.

So that, he does not hesitate positively to declare that the said David Reed worked for this deponent in the year 1790 - and that, was the only year he ever did work for this deponent - and this deponent further well recollects and declares that the said David Reed was married to the said Abigail, and lived together as man and wife, the next year after - and that this deponent was present and saw them married as stated in his former affidavit before Solomon Ned Calf - and this deponent further saith that, at the time of the marriage of the said David and Abigail, there was no law in the State of New York requiring the record of marriages or requiring the person solemnizing marriages to give certificates to the persons married, nor was it the practice to record Deeds of Land at that time in said State

In the matter of Mrs. Deborah Dyer's application for a pension, Salmon Child has sworn a new to a copy substantially of his former affidavit with additions and the jury has certified that he is a credible witness.
In relation to showing the time, when Dyer purchased the land on which he built his house where he resided after his marriage, I have been informed that he never obtained any title to it, and therefore I advise not to the County Clerk's office to inquire for any records.
If it would be of any use, in this matter, I suppose I can obtain from the County Clerk of Oneida County a certificate that Salmon Child held the office of first judge of that court many years. I have been informed that it was so. I have old tables of the officers of the State of New York on which the name of Salmon Child stands as first judge of that for a number of years & it has been said to me that the person who has made affidavits in this case is the same man. I am not personally acquainted with him.

J. L. Edwards Esquire,
Sir, I am induced to believe that some error has been embraced in relation to the service of David Reed. As I understand the rules of Pension office a clergyman's certificate is only required, where the applicant belonged to the State troops or the Militia, and not where he belonged to the line or regular army. David Reed belonged to the regular army and of course no interrogatories were by the rules to be answered by him - none were put to him and none answered. His declaration states explicitly the time of his service to a day and when he entered and when he left the service; and all the officers recollected. He did not serve in 79. and most probably would not have been received if he had offered to enlist as he would have been but fifteen years old. His declaration states that on the 4th of September 1782 he enlisted as a private with one Sterns for 3. years - served in the 6th Regiment of the Massachusetts line - under Col. Smith and Captain Wattles until the 10th. of June 1783. Then He was transferred to 2d Regiment of the Massachusetts line & served under Col. Sprout & Captain Budany until the winter of 1783-4 then. He was transferred to the American Regiment and served under Major Gibs. Captain Jackson, Ensign Lord. until the thirtieth day of June 1784. in the whole he served one year 9 months 26 days. - If his name is not on the rolls please to inform me whether he will be required to produce two witnesses of his service - or what testimony will be required?
Please to forward to me the amendments to the pension act of the late Congress - and any rules of the P. office of a subsequent date to 27th of June 1832. & not contained in the briefs, if any exist.
