Sir,
I herewith transmit to you a second set of Papers in the case of Chloe Gady the widow of Captain Ebenezer Gady deceased an applicant for a pension under the act of July 1836; the first set of papers sent by me in her case being burnt as I infer from your letter of the 24 th ult o your not being able to find them.
The set transmitted consists of her declaration and the affidavits of Zephaniah Hough, Rufus Smith & Amos Smith -
Ebenezer Gady her husband was captain of a militia company in the regiment colonel Whiting during the revolutionary war -
The applicant in her declaration has deposed that captain Gady served over 18 months tho' she has not particularly specified over 9 or 10 months as to times places &c -
Hough swears to 4 tours of service making about 7 months - He also swears to his having been acquainted with captain Gady & Chloe his wife during the war and the general repute as to their being married &c of her being now Capt Gady's widow &c -
The Smiths swear that her husband was a captain in the war & that he was out on sundry tours of service but they do not swear as to specific services they were young when the services were rendered. They swear as to their living together as man and wife and to the general repute of their having been married - Both swear as to Capt Gady's death in 1816 & to Chloe Gady being his widow and of her not being married and also as to her fair character age &c -
As I said before she claims for 18 months -

Now should doubts be entertained as to the prob- -vity of allowing (pensions) I wish you to sus- -pend the final decision and in the meantime -write me as it is contemplated to procure sim- -ilar other affidavits from persons living at -Chatham Florida and Perrington in the cou- -nties of Columbia Montgomery & Monroe -from whom we had affidavits of captain Cady's previous -marriage &c. I have also written to Daniel -Cady of Montgomery county who is a son of -the applicant's sister for his affidavit.

Dear Sir
Will you have the goodness to let me know what has been done in the case of Chloe Cady an applicant for a pension under the act of 1836. Her papers were forwarded at two different times; namely the 2 d of Feb. & 10 th . Those of the 2 d comprised her declaration and 3 affidavits and those of the 10 th 3 additional affidavits obtained from a distance. I would remark that I am the more anxious to hear as her first papers sent on in the early part of Dec r last were either lost or burnt.

Frankfort April 6-1837-
Sir,
From your letter of the 27th instant it appears that the department have proposed to allow Chloe Cady for only 6 months services rendered by her husband Capt. Cady in the revolutionary war-
This I must confess is a conclusion which I had not anticipated and the more especially as I had supposed we had fully proved rather over 9 months-
It seems that the department have doubted the testimony as to the amount of services rendered in the north in 1777 by Captain Cady in 2 tours and also the amount of services in 1778 to Cherry Valley-
It must be evident to the department that the period of service varied according to distance and other circumstances and that some detachments of militia must have been out longer than others- It frequently happened that only portions of the militia were called out in the first instance and that the other portions were subsequently called out- It also happened that militia were called to distant places- Now it would obviously follow that those called out first and those called from

from a distance would have to be out longer than those last called out and those residing in the vicinity - The department say Captain Ledy could not have been out over 2 weeks when called to Cherry Valley and this inference I presume is made because the militia of Montgomery then Tryon county might not have been out over 2 weeks -
Were the department to reconsider the case it appears to me they would come to somewhat of a different conclusion and allow the claimant for 9 months and the more so from the standing of the claimant and her witnesses -
The claimant is aunt to Daniel Ledy Esq r of Johnstown Montgomery county a gentleman of high respectability and well known to you; Mrs Tryphena Ledy by whom her marriage is proved is her sister and the mother of Mr Daniel Ledy - Her husband Capt. Ledy was an uncle to David Ledy Esq r ; David Ledy one of her witnesses is also an uncle to him. The Smiths and Hough who have deposed are men of respectability - one of the Smiths namely Amos is a relation of Mr Daniel Ledy -
But without dwelling longer on this subject I have to say that should the department not come to a different

conclusion it can send on the certificate for the 6 months as at present we cannot owing to distance badness of roads & prove more evidence -
Yours &c

Dear Sir,
In reply to your letter of the 10 th in respect to the claim of Chloe Cady I have to state to you that on the 10 th day of February last past I enclosed to you 3 affidavits in the above case which it was intended should form part of her case her declaration together with the affidavits of Hough and the Smiths having been sent on the 2 d of the latter month. In the letter of the 2 d of Feb. I which contained her declaration I stated that we had sent to the counties of Monroe & Columbia in this state for affidavits of services rendered by her husband and also of her marriage which we should forward as soon as obtained and which I did accordingly forward on the 10 th of Feb. as before stated.
These affidavits were as follows 1. The affidavit of David Cady of Pervington proving 4 months services

resided at 4 different times namely 2 in 1777 & 2 in 1778 by Capt. Cady -
2 The affidavit of Samuel Doty of Chatham in Columbia county as to on tour in 1777 by Capt. Cady -
3. The affidavit of Tryphena Cady of Chatham aforesaid proving the marriage of the said Chloe Cady the said Tryphena being present at the marriage -
There is no record of her marriage and to supply this the affidavit of Tryphena Cady was obtained -
The 3 latter affidavits were all duly authenticated by the clerks of the counties of Monroe & Columbia -
When you wrote me I think you must not have examined the 3 affid- avits sent by me on the 10th of Feb. or else the letter containing them must have misla- -vied. By recurring to my letter of the 2 d of Feb. you will find that I requested a suspension of the final decision till I sent on the latter affid- -avits - I also stated that we had sent on papers last December which were complete & that they must have been burnt in the post office as you could not find any such papers

in the pension office -
Should any thing further be wanting write me or should my letter of the 10th of Feb 7 miscarried write me -
Yours &c
James Macaulay

Observations.
1. We have been very unfortunate in this case the first papers being burnt - These papers were comprised of her declaration & 6 affidavits 5 being of services &c and one of her marriage 2. The papers of Feb 2 d 1837 consisted of her declaration & 3 affidavits - 3 The papers of the 10 th Feb 1837 were 2 affidavits of services & 1 of her marriage - 3 The latter were intended to constitute part of her papers and I desired them to be appended to complete them - 4. By appending them over 9 months services are proved and also her marriage

Gentlemen:
I would like to get a copy of the record of my Colonial ancestor who was Ebenezer Cady. My records show that he was a Captain in Col Robert Van Rensselaer's Regiment of New York Militia. If you can give me this information I will be greatly obliged to you.

Gentlemen--
In order to permit a daughter to join the D.A.R. a little information is needed which your department can probably give. Our family record says that Ebenezer Cady , of Chatham--now New Concord--N.Y., organized and was made Captain of a company of militia, served under Gen. VanRensselaer, and was at the final surrender of the British at Yorktown. And further that his widow, whose given name was Chloe, received a pension until her death in 1841. The record does not give this ancestor's company or regiment, and if possible I would like to get this together with any other information that is pertinent,
Yours respectfully,
I.C.French.

Sir:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 16524, it appears that Ebenezer Cady, while residing at New Concord (which was later Chatham), Columbia County, New York, enlisted in January, 1776, was appointed Captain in Colonel William B. Whiting's New York Regiment and served as follows:
In 1776, two weeks; from the latter part of June, 1777, six weeks; from the middle of August, 1777, two months and was at the surrender of Burgoyne; from March or April, 1778, two months; from August, 1778, one month; from October, 1780, one month and was at the battle of Stone Arabia; and later in 1780, six weeks.
He died September 11, 1816, at Chatham, New York.
The soldier married, February 12, 1767, Chloe, her maiden name not given.
She was allowed pension on her application executed

January 27, 1837, at which time she was living in Schuyler, Herkimer County, New York, aged eighty-nine years "April 29 last past".
There are no data relative to children.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.
