My Dear Sir
I am requested to call your attention to the Three following Pension applications.
1 st Mrs Abigail Delamater widow of Isaac Delamater deceased, In your letter of the 20 th instant you state that in reviewing the claim, you are unable to discover any evidence to lead to a different decision from that already made known to me. Now I have to say in answer that Mr Delamater in his declaration testified particularly to his service and produced proof of the same, but I do not know the names of his witnesses. In your first letter you stated that there was no evidence of the existence of such a regiment in the State of New York. I am not able to say from any information I have where the regiment he was attached to belonged but I am inclined to believe that it was an extra Regt.
He qualified it seems that it belonged to the line of the State of New York, but I presume he was mustered in that State.
I now enclose you two additional Affidavits showing clearly and undeniably that he did enlist in 1776. and did go to the North (The witnesses are both men of unimpeachable character and I have no hesitation in stating pending further truth of their statements. That Delamater did serve in 1776 in the Northern Campaign for the period claimed by him I have no doubt
And it would be doing injustice to his widow to relinquish that portion of his service
I hope the additional proof will be deemed satisfactory & that you will be prepared to give her a certificate for at least 20 months and 16 days. The Clerk of this County has certified to the Official Character of Mr Lockwood as will appear by other documents herewith sent.
2. In the Case of Mrs Hannah Bishop

I send you a certificate from the Town Clerk of Catterick where she was married that there are no records of marriage kept in his Office. and the County Clerk's certificate is on file in her case or the case of Mrs. Bishop that there are no marriage records in his Office. She has proof by two credible witnesses who were present at the wedding (which would be prima facie evidence to have her on a criminal charge) that she was lawfully joined in wedlock with her late husband. I hope you will please forward her certificate.
2? Phebe Mason. In this case I send her declaration with full proof of marriage and the certificate of the County Clerk and Town Clerk above referred to that no marriage records are kept in their Office under this proof complete.
I am with great Respect your Obedt. Servt. Adam Ward
