Hon. Sir,
The Papers of William Coo (now deceased) has a length of time since been sent to your Office, not having received any communication from you respecting it, permit me to recommend it to your attention, that it may be examined if not previously done — At Coo, in said declaration, has set forth the time he served during the Revolutionary War, as far forth as his memory at the time would enable him so to do, and at late period was unable to prove the same except a scroll, by one witness, all the rest of his fellow Soldiers was dead or moved to places to him or his heirs unknown — Believing that if there was any rolls kept of the Soldiers of the Revolution, his name would be borne thereon, shewing services by him rendered exclusive of his five months service, in the year 1776, to make his united services far exceed Six Months By attending to his case soon you will oblige the heirs, and also
Respectable Sir

Hon d Sir
Inclosed I send to the Pension Office the Original Declaration of William Coe taken in 1835 - In 1833. one of the sons of Mr Coe called upon me to make out the Declaration of Mr Coe, but there being then no person living in the county except Mr Southerland, that had served with him, and expecting to obtain the testimony of two of his fellow Soldiers that had moved to the western part of the State of New York or Detroit it was delayed until the said William became so feeble and infirm and not considered likely to live much longer the declaration with the testimony was taken and the papers delayed in hopes to find out where the witnesses resided and to obtain the desired testimony, but hitherto not being able so to do and despairing of ever being able to procure them, I have been requested to send it to the pension Office with all the testimony that could be procured relying on the pay roll of Capt Atkerson for the proof of services sufficient to exceed six months if the declaration or oath of the claimant, taken not long previous to his death, and proved from his own lips with the testimony of Mr Southerland, was not satisfactory. The case is now left to the decision of your Honor, and if you will be pleased to inform me of your decision in the above case, at our next Court a Certificate will be obtained showing the time of Mr Coe's death, and that he left no widow, and the names of his children.
I Remain Respectable Sir
