My dear Sir:—
I would very much like to get some information in relation to a certain Elisha Cone and Elizabeth Cone his widow. I understand that this widow , residing at the time viz: or 1836 1840, lived at Turin Lewis Co. N.Y. and received a pension. She was then aged 76 years.
 1. Did Elisha ever receive a pension?  2. Was this Elizabeth Cone the widow of Elisha or widow of Samuel ? 
Kindly advise me as this seems to be a matter of much interest to these families. Very truly, W. W. Cone.
