Honored Sir
In compliance with your letter of the 9 th of December 1839 I transmit to you the accompanying proofs of the services of Jacob Cuddeback husband of Dinah Cuddeback. The service of Jacob Cuddeback is not to be found in the Comptroller's Office except that done under Capt Wood in 1779 in Col D'Arting Regt of new levies. I herewith transmit a certified copy of the distinct  payroll  services of Capt Wood's company together with the affidavit of Liev Van Etten who positively makes oath that Jacob Cuddeback did actually volunteer into the company under Capt Wood and served for the term of Eight months. Now Mr Van Etten is a man of great respectability and a man of a good conscience and cannot be mistaken in this service and was likewise acquainted with the said Cuddeback from his childhood until his death.
I hope the evidence herewith produced will be sufficient to enable the widow of the said Jacob Cuddeback to receive a pension for eight months service which there is no doubt the said Cuddeback done as sworn to in the accompanying affidavit.
Please answer to your obed t humble servant John W. Morton

Honored and Resp Sir I have before me the letter of the late acting Com r of Pensions in answer to the declaration of Sarah Guadack widow of Jacob Guadack in the declaration of the said widow she alleges that her said husband served 6 months in 1777 in Abraham Guadack company by order of the committee of Safety for the County of Ulster and 9 months in 1778 this declaration is sustained by two as respectable witnesses as in the town of Swartek and if necessary could be substantiated by at least four or five more but the acting commission allows they only done twelve days service. In the next place she declares that her husband entered the service in May 1779 in a company of Levies under Capt John Wood for 9 months this I believe never had an eight months service and those witnesses allege that the said Jacob Guadack served in the said company from the first of May until the battle of Monmouth which was eleven weeks and after Capt Wood was taken prisoner he served under a Lieutenant until his service expired the act of Com r refers me to the rolls in the Comptroller's office in this state I made the enquiry and have for answer that there is no roll in that office of the service I have no further evidence to offer only a certificate.

showing that John Wood was appointed to act in the plays in 79 The acting manager says that his name is not to be found on the rolls of Capt Abraham Wolfalls company in 1782 therefore it is presumed that he did not serve in that company in that year but he says nothing about the service in 1780 1781 therefore it is presumed the evidence for the services of those years is satisfactory should there be evidence enough before you to satisfy you that she is entitled to a pension you will please to allow her whatever you may think is right for she is poor and a little would be of much service in her last days
