Levi Cady of the town of Brimfield in the county of Jefferson and state of New York, being duly sworn, deposes & says: That in the month of March 1876, he enlisted as a private soldier to serve for the term of one year against the common enemy, in Capt. Frederick Wetmore's Company of Infantry of Col. Durkee's Reg't of the Connecticut Line. That he was mustered in a detachment of the Reg't mustered at Cambridge in Massachusetts & marched from that place to New York, in the same year, marched from New York to POWELL'S BROOK, & remained till the American troops evacuated New York. Then marched with his Reg't to Trenton where he was taken sick & carried to Philadelphia, where he remained in the United States Hospital till the month of January of the year in which he enlisted, from which place he was passed by his surgeon to his home, but was taken with the small pox, & went into a hospital at New Jersey Pennsylvanian and was discharged from there in the month of April 1877.
This deponent further states that he has lost his discharge & that it is a mistake ever having been found that he has ever been a citizen of the U.

Request in the case of Levi Canup Dec. 8 Who was an artificer in the Revolutionary War .
Presented by James H Bown Evans Mills NY

Evans Mills Sept 16/54 July 22 nd 1855
Dear Sir
Herewith I enclose to you the pension certificate issued to Tenas Carey & others upon his application for an increase of the Pension of Levi Carey deceased which I desire should be made payable to Tenas Carey administrator of the estate of the said Levi Carey .
The evidence of his appointment as administrator did not accompany his application for the increase. Enclosed you will please find the certificate of the Surrogate of the County of Onondaga also the certificate of the 3 rd auditor upon the subject .
I make this application at the suggestion of the Pension Agent at Albany as the best mode of obtaining the money . The children are scattered and it would incur trouble & expense to obtain the separate papers for the other mode .
I obtained the certificate of the 3 rd auditor while in Washington supposing that would be sufficient and as it is not be pleased to insert in the certificate that it may be paid to Tenas Carey administrator and advise the Pension Agent at the Albany Agency of the same .
This I suppose will serve as well as a new certificate either will render obliged
To the Honble James K. Heath Comm d Pensions Yours very Respectfully for the Heirs of Levi Carey deceased James H. Bowen Atty

It will save the heirs much expense & trouble & enable them to receive the amount very soon and under very great
Obliged Your fr d & obed Servt James N Bowen atty etc
