State of Vermont } Town Clerks Office Cornwall Addison County ss } Feb. 15 th 1850.
I herby certify, that on book 2 nd Page 3 rd of the records in this office, I find a record in the following words (to wit)
"Jeremiah Bingham 2 nd + Mary Ives, were married, Nov. the 27 th 1786."
Lydia Bingham was born Nov. 29 th 1787.
Laura Bingham was born Sept. 12 th 1789.
+ died July 10 th 1790.
Laura Bingham the 2 nd was born April 29 th 1791."
I have no doubt that the record, of which the above is a literal copy, was made before the year 1795, which was the year in which the records were commenced in the 3 rd book.
I will further state in regard to the form of the record, (which may appear defective) that it is the precise form of all the old records of marriages, births, + deaths, of the several families in this town previous to the year 1800. + I have not the least doubt, that it is a simple statement of facts.
Attest Marcus O. Porter Town Clerk

I Jeremiah Bingham of lawful age testify and say that in the spring of the year 1777 one Theophilus Clark a sergeant at Bennington in the State of Vermont, enlisted my nephew Jeremiah Bingham into the Continental service during the war in the service of the State of Massachusetts and I believe it was in Capt Goodale's company and Col Putnam's Regt - altho' I then knew, yet it is so long since I cannot be positive in regard to the Capt or Col - I know that he continued in the same service during our Revolutionary war when he returned to his friends in Bennington and said that he had a discharge from the service - soon after, I moved to Cornwall in the state of Vermont, and my nephew soon followed me where we now both reside and I have often heard him say that he had carelessly lost his discharge.

Washington, D. C., _____, 190__
In reply to your communication of a recent date, you are informed that this Bureau is unable to furnish a history of the service of any soldier of the Revolutionary war or of the war of 1812 unless he or his widow was a pensioner or an applicant for pension or bounty land; and that under the rules such a history is furnished only to the soldier's descendants, and to them only when it is desired for historical or genealogical purposes.
The large number of inquiries made on this subject, and the length of time required to make a proper search of the records in each case, will not permit of information being given to any applicant concerning more than two soldiers.
In order that the soldier concerning whom you desire information may be identified, you are requested to furnish as much as possible of the data called for below.
Very respectfully,
