Sir,
The papers in the case of Mrs Juliet Boston of Virginia, widow of Adam Boston, dec d . have been examined and filed with suspended case. The proof of the period of the marriage is not sufficient. She alleges to have been married in Berkeley Co n Virginia, in 1785. The certificate of the Clerk of the Court of that County should be produced showing what proof of the marriage the records in his office afford. If there be no public record there may be a family record of the marriage, or births of the children; and if so, it should be produced; and if not the claimant should state the fact under oath; she should then prove the marriage by witnesses from personal knowledge, or who knew the claimant to be a married woman prior to the 1 st of January 1794. She should make a new declaration & sign it, as required in the enclosed printed sheet; and the witnesses should make and sign their affidavits anew.

Dear Sir
By last mail I received the Certificate from the War Department for Mrs Boston's Pension Claim; by which I see that the same is payable at Richmond Va. I suppose it will be necessary for her to make a Power of Attorney to enable me to receive her Pension. Is there any special form for the same? Will the War Department inform the Paying Agent at Richmond of the Claim, Or will it be necessary for me to send on the Certificate in order to draw the money. If there be a special form for the Power of Attorney, Will you please have me furnished with one, together with the information necessary to make the proper Application at Richmond.
Yours Respectfully Rev Cuppin

Dear Tom
Long Branch 23 rd March 1841
I have been reflecting a good deal on the subject of Mrs Bartyan's claim since you left home. I would admire you to enquire of Philip Foote at the lower mill of the old lady to know how many children she brought when they came from Helms's old mill to May's Mayn I think I recollect perfectly Mayn Mayn's was on bringing Bartyan's family to his mill when I lived in Millwood I think they had 10 or 12 children or perhaps more with them in seventeen hundred & ninety four I moved from Millwood on the 1 st of Jany 1794 . So I think that it must have been in 1793 when I saw them coming to Mayn Mayn's mill. Perhaps Saml Briarly can tell for he was a man grown & probably more in Bartyan's line of life than I was. I am yours Affec ly Philip Nelson

Sir
Agreeable to your instructions I return the list of Officers non-commissioned &c. which you favored for the information of Adam Baleyand we have carefully examined said list and find no named on said list which would be of service in support of his claims, neither is the regi- ment to which he belonged mentioned in said list — he says that he belonged to Col. Dabney's regiment. I think it is probable that he only was in the state service and do not come under the provision of the act of Congress. — However we shall apply at Richmond to the land office as he got a warrant for land and possibly may get some information in that way. If any thing should appear which will give him a support his claims I will write to you on the subject. I will simply ad that he was life guard to Genl. Lafayette at York- town. If you should have it in your power to give any information in his favor will please inform
