I Thomas Ingalls, Clerk of the Town of Rindge Cheshire County New Hampshire, have carefully examined the Records of said Town, and find, that but one Person by the name of Ezekiel Demary resided in said Town, in the year 1776, or at any time prior or subsequent to that date; and that the same Individual is borne upon such Records as a Resident of said Town, down to the Year 1824.

Dear Sir,
Mr James L.
Denny of Riidge N.H. wishes us to obtain from the Pension Office information on the following point:-
About the first of July 1857 he made application, through Mr Charles Reed of Fitzwilliam, for the amount of pension money due him as heir of Maria Denny, widow of Ezekiel Denny of Riidge, a revolutionary pensioner.
He thinks, that Mr Reed has received the money, and intends to defraud him of it.

Can you inform us whether Mr Reed has received any money on account of this claim; and, if so, what amount? Any information on this subject will greatly oblige.
Yours very respectfully Wheeler & Faulkner.
