They that feared the LORD spoke often and the LORD hearkened and heard of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought on his name.
And it shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare mine own son that serveth him. And ye shall return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked; between him that serveth me and him that serveth me not.
CHAP. IV.
For, behold, the day cometh that shall burn as a furnace; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh
shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Pension Office. December 25 th 1844.
Sir,
The papers in the case of Mary Crippen, widow of Ichabod Crippen, claiming a pension under the act of July 7 th 1838 have been examined and filed. The date of the marriage and identity of the widow are sufficiently proved, but there is no evidence to shew that her husband was the Ichabod Crippen named in the Comptroller's certificate. The regiment in which her husband served is not stated, nor are the names of the officers under whom his services were rendered given. The identity of her husband as the man who served under Captain Nathaniel Henry and Peter B. Searse of Colonel Marinus Willet, should be attested by witnesses who are pensioners and were witnesses of the service.
Very Respectfully, Your obedt. Servt. J L Edward

Sir
In the case of Mary Griffin Mr. Purdie supposes that the widows statement in her declaration of her husband having served under Col. Willett and Capt. Deane, has been overlooked. Deborah Griffin was from Hobstown adjoining Black Creek in Columbia Co. and the census roll shows that Deborah Griffin who served was from there also. This coincidence between the widows statement and the Record it is to be hoped will be judged sufficient to establish the claim.
