In the case of Sarah Case The proof shows satisfactorily the marriage to have taken place at least as early as the last of '79 - But there is no intelli- -ble & consistent account of any one term or engagement of service - with respect to his employment as a wagoner it would appear to have been under contract as a very large proportion of both Teams & Teamsters, engaged at that period of the war in transporting supplies were "hired" - and as to the suggestion of ser- -vice in the N. Y. forces no examination can be made until each term shall be specified in relation to period length, grade, names of officers - stations &c as the rules require - and the best attainable proof adduced
