On this 7th day of October 1844, personally appeared before me the under- named Oliver Kingman, one of the judges of the court of common pleas in & for the said county of Cortland, Isaac Smith of the town of Triangle in the county of Broome & State of New York, aged sixty-seven years, who being first duly sworn, according to law, doth on his oath say, that he this deponent is a son of Benjamin Smith - That deponent was born at Catskill in said State of New York and resided there with his father when he was about seven years of age as well as before and after until his father moved from there -
Deponent further says that he there well knew Archibald Campbell and Jane Smith a cousin of this deponent - That when deponent was about seven years old, the parents of this deponent, wishing to leave home on a visit, got said Jane to come & stay with deponent and the other children at his father's - They left on Saturday & returned on the following Monday - They were going about 10 or 12 miles for said visit - On Sunday evening Jane went away and was gone all night & did not again return at that time - Had deponent on Monday morning following was told that Mr. Campbell came there in the evening & that Jane went away with him - and a Mr. Taylor and that they went to Mr. Shimmelman's, the minister of the place & were that night married by him - Deponent was also told that they went to a Mr. Salisbury's near by where Mr. Campbell made his home and stayed that night - all which this deponent then, and ever has, & still

believe to be true -
This deponent well recollects hearing his father & his uncle, (the father of Jane) as well as others talk about it - He knows & then knew that the father of Jane was much opposed to the match at the time, and it was for that reason they got married as they did without the knowledge of the father of Jane -
In a little time he became reconciled to the match and all became friends -
This deponent's father & his uncle the father of Jane then lived about \frac{3}{4} of a mile apart - They all continued to live at Catkill about seven years after said marriage, when all removed to Unadilla in the State of New York - That is deponent's father & family - his uncle & family, and said Archibald Campbell & his wife & children -
They all continued to reside at Unadilla about two years, except said Campbell & his family who soon went on to Lisle (now Triangle) where deponent now resides at about the end of two years deponent's father & his said uncle & their families also removed to Lisle, where all said families resided for many years, where deponent's parents both died - his father about 30 years ago & his mother about 6 or 7 years after -
Deponent therefore knows that said Archibald Campbell & wife have ever since their said marriage lived together as husband & wife, and has ever believed they were, & never heard it disputed by any body whatever - They have had nine children, seven sons and two daughters - Deponent well recollects it was in March, and he believes about the middle of the month, and he feels sure was

sixty years ago last March that said marriage took place - said Campbell has resided in the town of Willett for the last twenty seven years about six miles from the residence of this deponent. Deponent well knows that the oldest child of said Campbell & wife was born in something over a year after their said marriage, and believes him 59 years of age, as deponent was at his birth about eight years of age - He also knows all the children and knows that the three next oldest are over fifty years of age - And he well knows that the said oldest was born after their said marriage as aforesaid - And deponent further says that the school house in the neighborhood of the residence of deponent & said Campbell was burnt about thirty years ago and deponent's bible, & other school books were then burnt & he then understood & believes that Mr. Campbell's were. Deponent heard on the 15 th of August last that said Campbell died & he believes the same to be true, tho' deponent did not attend the funeral as he was then unwell - and further deponent saith not.

Gentlemen: Will you kindly look up and report to me your findings as to two Revolutionary soldiers. Do the records show the name of one Henry Palmer, who enlisted in the Revolutionary army from Western Massachusetts, and who afterward removed to New York, locating near Binghamton, N.Y., where he later received a pension? I believe his residence was Fenton, or North Fenton, Broome Co., New York.
The other name about which I desire to inquire is that of Archibald Campbell, who was also a Revolutionary soldier, and, who resided in Broome Co., New York, and was buried at Willett, in that county.
Mrs. Palmer, (my wife,) has applied for membership in the D.A.R.; and needs the records of one or both of the above mentioned ancestors in order to verify her right to be a member of that honorable organization. Henry Palmer was a paternal ancestor, and Archibald Campbell was a maternal ancestor of Mrs. Palmer.
We shall appreciate very much your report on these two names. If there is any expense involved, please let me know.
Very truly,
Louis D. Palmer
