Enclosed I send you the affidavits of Major S. Barnett, Addison Dwight, and the Rev James D Farnsworth as well as the certificate of the County Clerk of Worcester County, which, in addition to the evidence before you, we hope will be satisfactory and obviate the objections raised to Mrs Barnett's claim for a pension -
From the best information we can obtain we believe that Mr Israel Barnett first applied for a pension in Herkimer County, that before he succeeded he moved to a neighboring County, and that his pension business was closed in the latter County. We think by a reference to all his papers in your office you will be convinced that this was the case -

I Ebenezer Mawer of Worcester in the County of Worcester and Commonwealth of Massachusetts aged seventy seven years, do hereby say that Lucy Barrett, widow of Israel Barrett late of Clinton in Onondaga County, State of New York, is my sister and some over three years older than myself. That the said Israel and Lucy intermarried, according to my best recollection, in the fall of the year 1777. The marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Thayer, then the Congregational Minister of the Town of Paxton in said County of Worcester and at his house. I attended and witnessed the marriage ceremony with another sister older than Lucy, since deceased. Within two or three months after said marriage the said Israel and Lucy commenced house-keeping and lived together as man and wife, until the year 1780 or 1781, according to my recollection. At the time last mentioned there was a requisition from Congress for soldiers for the army of the Revolution, and the town of Worcester, or rather the inhabitants thereof, were divided into as many classes as the town were required to furnish men - my father, Samuel Mawer, was a member of one of those classes, and the class of which he was a member hired the said Israel Barrett to enlist as such soldier in behalf of said class. The said Israel Barrett did enlist as such soldier for the term of three years, as I then was informed. He went into the service as such soldier and continued therein, with the exception of one or two visits at home, until the close of the war and until the end of the term of his

entitled, and until I understood he was regularly discharged.
During the time of the absence of said Israel in the army the said Lucy resided in said Paxton, in the family of the parents or parents of the said Israel - for I am not sure whether his father was then living - I several times visited the said Lucy at said Paxton during the absence of the said Israel in the army, and during the same time the said Lucy visited, several times, my father's family in Ware. The two places being distant from each other only about six miles.
The said Israel and Lucy continued to live together as man and wife so long as they resided in this State, which they left, according to my recollection about the year 1790, or between 1785 and 1790.
The said Lucy and Israel had two or three children before they left this State.
Previous to said marriage I had been informed and verily believe that the said Israel was a soldier under General Arnold at Danbark and was there taken prisoner.
I further testify that I have been informed and verily believe that the said Phoebe deceased some years ago.
