Dear Sirs:-
I have been informed by friends that a Rev. War widow was allowed a pension upon her representation; she was the wife of Ezekiel DeCamp b. 1757 secured pension on his application Apr 14-1818 then living in N.Y. afterwards moved to Plainfield N.J. 1831 d. Feb 20-1834 Westfield Township N.J. ( I do not know what County. )
My Problem is this.
Ezekiel De-Camp married Sep, 1781 RACHEL MOOR. she was born Aug 3, 1761 she was allowed pension d, somewhere in the 40's I am told.
For D.A.R Purposes and to show family connections and other data which may be important to establish relationship, I would like some extracts from her pension application and name of witnesses and place where living. and date of death if possible,
I am told she was buried at Plainfield N.J.
(Just a line to give my reasons for asking. Family tradition--- Rachel Moor dau. of Joseph. a sister to Enoch b. 1768 in N.J. removed to OHIO. 3d son Mitchell born there 1811. family removed to Tompkins Co. N.Y just before the war of 1812. on account of Indian troubles. Died at Hector N.Y 1845.-- son Levi b. 1801. son Peter 1842 in N.Y son Glenn b. 1873. Clinton Co. Mich (writer) .

Dear Sir; -
Referring back to date of Mar 6-1936-
Ezekiel DeCamp. W.7009 Ba-J/ AWF,
In your communication no mention was made of any witnesses for pension. I am trying to locate this man and his wife. for D.A.R and S/A/R purposes. and there seems to be three Ezekiel DeCamps mentioned in N.J records as being Rev.soldiers. found in traceing the family lines.
EZEKIEL DE-CAMP b. according to DeCamp Genealogical Family data and so stated on monument was 1755. However this is not against the records that will hurt. . But I would like to have the names of the persons signing the pension claims at the time of application for both EZEKIEL DE-CAMP and his wife in her application she was born 1761 and said to be the daughter of Joseph Moor of Rahway. N.J. and the sister to my ENOCH MOOR b.1768 liveing (g-grand My at Hector N.Y. in dates that she made application which was 1836 fathe and her brother b,1768 and d.1845 at Hector N.Y.
Thus I thought perhaps if I had the signors names and family connections established there would be no difficulty in proveing service for membership for D.A.R.
Will you kindly give me what there is contained in the application as to names and place of the signors residence. etc.
Many Thanks for your previous kindness.

Summary Rache Stampscare
Mr J R Randolph again

State of New Jersey Middlesex County ss. On this fifth day of September 1837, before me a Justice of the Peace in and for the County aforesaid, personally appeared Ger- shom Manning, known to me as a credible person, whose testimony is indisputable, who being duly sworn, on his oath saith, that he has hereto- fore testified in the case of Rachel DeCamp, widow of Ezekiel DeCamp, who is applying for a Pension under the Law of July 1836; that he has a distinct remembrance of the marriage of the said DeCamp with the said Rachel, and also that said DeCamp was engaged in the militia service, and did duty in 1782 under a Capt. Britton; and he is now ena- bled to state, from having not recalling his recollec- tion, and referring to events of that period, that said DeCamp was then engaged in militia service, after he was married to the said Rachel DeCamp, and in the latter part of the year of '82. He did at least one tour of a month after that period, in the company of Capt. Britton, and under the command of said Britton. Deponent believes that said DeCamp was on duty more than once after he was married, but he can speak po- sitively as to one tour of a month, as above men- tioned. There were other tours of shorter duration also performed at that period, required by alarm, or by some particular local service. In such as these, the said DeCamp was engaged the whole of the year 1782, and also as deponent believes, in 1783, the fore part of that year. These tours, like the monthly tours, were all under regular officers, and in embodied corps, subject in all respects to the rules of the ordinary service.

State of New Jersey, Middlesex County ss. On this tenth day of November 1886, before me a Justice of the Peace in and for said County, personally appeared Rachel Stewart, known to me as a credible person, whose testimony may be implicitly to be relied upon, who being duly sworn on her oath declares, that she is intimately acquainted with Rachel De Camp, widow of Ezekiel De Camp, formerly of the City of New York, and also with her husband, the said Ezekiel De Camp, now deceased. Knew the said Rachel before she was married, when she was Rachel Moore - remember well after marriage with said De Camp, lived within call of the house, knew that the marriage took place about the same time that her own took place, in that it was in the year 1780 or 1781; knows not exactly as to the date, from the circumstances. The oldest child of the said Ezekiel & Rachel De Camp, is within a month or two months of the same age of her (deponent's) first born. Knows that said Ezekiel De Camp is now dead, that Rachel, his widow, survives him, and that she has remained a widow ever since the death of her said husband, the said Ezekiel. Deponent & said Rachel now live within a quarter of a mile of each other, and have always been intimate.
