On this first day of September 1834 personally appeared in open court before the judges of the Court of Common Pleas of the county of Greene, now sitting Dan Cornwall a resident of the town of Durham in the county of Greene and state of New York aged 73 years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated
The said Dan Cornwall then residing in Durham Ct. on the first day of December 1876 was drafted to serve for one month in the Militia of the state of Connecticut, and placed in a company commanded by Capt Gilbert (Sam l Aiken Lieut & Waterman Ensign in said company) marched to New London, and there attached to a regiment commanded by Col. Abbott. does not recollect the names of any other officers. were quartered in the town - no other troops there except in the fort of which I knew nothing. served in said company & regiment the term of my said draft one month & was discharged by my captain on the first day of January
1 mo In the fall one or two years after this, which I cannot recollect, my brother Andrew Cornwall having previously enlisted into the Connecticut Militia & having come home sick, I went as a substitute in his place was accepted by his officers joined his company at Milford commanded by Capt Robinson (Lieut Sam l Aiken before mentioned Ensign forster) and belonging to a regiment commanded by

Col Arnold, does not recollect the name of any other officer in the regt except a Capt Rogers who commanded a company. The regiment was on a march towards New York when I joined it. Marched to Pyle, in the state of New York, where we were stationed and continued there in service until about a week before the term of enlistment had expired when we were marched back to Stamford, and continued there until the term of enlistment had expired when the whole regiment were discharged at once on the morning of the first of January, faithfully served in said company & regiment the full period for which I was as aforesaid accepted as a substitute, being three months which I actually served as aforesaid
3 mos
About three years previous to the conclusion of the war, I enlisted into a company of Artillery during the war, commanded by Capt Blackman (I do not recollect any other officer). In this company we were stationed at home, subject to be called upon upon any emergency, and were to hold ourselves in readiness at all times, and one day in each week we were called into actual service to drill & perform military duty and sometimes oftener than this. My impressions are that the officers commanding this company were continental officers but of this I cannot be positive. This company had two guns, & was attached to no regiment when at home. When New London was burnt by Genl Arnold this company was called out & marched with regt of militia commanded by Col Sarge Brown (Major other officers forgotten) to Guilford Killingworth and along the shore, staying but a few hours at any place, absent about 10 days when said regt including my company (myself serving during this tour) returned home. At the conclusion of the war my term of enlistment having expired I was discharged. I cannot state the precise length of my actual service in this said company of Artillery but can and do positively swear that I actually served therein in manner aforesaid five months and a half making my actual service for the United States in manner aforesaid in the whole nine and a half months
5 1/2 mos
9 1/2 mos

(Durham Jan'y 31. 1854) Hon. L. P. Waldo, Commr. of Pensions, (Dear Sir,
M rs Rachel Cornwall widow of (Dan or Daniel) Cornwall a Private in the Revolutionary war was, Pensioned on the 23 d day of April last (1853) at the rate of twenty three dollars, and fifty Six Cents per Annum under Act of July 7 th 1838 Commencing on the 4 th of March 1836 & to terminate on the 4 th of March 1841 and under the Several acts, of March 3 d 1843, June 17 th 1844 & February 2 d 1848 for life, to Commence on the 4 th of March 1843
Daniel Cornwall died on the 23 d day of December 1843 & never drew a pension,
It is questionable with me now whether M r Cornwall was not entitled to a pension under act of June 7 th 1832, & if so whether his widow or Children could not now draw what he was entitled to under said act
For what length of time would they be entitled to draw, whether to the time of M r C s death, or only to the time his widow commenced drawing (4 th March 1836) & if only to the time she commenced, then would not they be entitled to draw from 4 th March 1841 to 4 th March 1843 the two years, his widow

did not draw as you will see under the aforesaid acts
Is the widow or children entitled to the pension that M rs C was entitled to under act of June 9 th 1832
I would like your opinion in relation to the above matter, & if you have the necessary forms & instructions to make out the Claim I wish you would send them to me
You will see by the Comptroller's certificates sent you in support of M rs Cornwall's application for a pension that M rs Cornwall is, or was entitled to £14. 2. 8 for wages due him, I also wish to make application for this back pay
Who entitled the Widow or children? I also wish you would send me the forms &c for making out this class of Claims
M rs Cornwall is very poor & has a foolish son to support & is now in her 98 year & therefore I feel anxious to obtain all I can for her
Your prompt attention to the above matter will much oblige an old & infirm lady, I'm haste
Yours truly

Sir
The claim of Daniel Cornwall has been examined. He alleges that about 1780 he enlisted into an artillery company, capt Blackman with two guns - remained at home - subject to be called out on emergencies, drilled one day in the week & was out ten days when New London was burnt. For this ten days actual service & drilling one day in each week he claims 52 months service. The act of 7 th June 1832 does not provide for such service excepting the ten days which added to the other items of alleged service (of which no proof is furnished) would be up than six months.
Amos Cornwall claims for nine months service (of which he produces no evidence) while his declaration shews that six months of it consisted in drilling at home.
Daniel Mead alleges that he was engaged in patrolling from '76 to the end of the war as a member of a minute company & claims a pension of six months therefor - such service is not embraced by the Act
Their claims are therefore rejected

and agreeably to the rules their papers are placed on file in this office
I am Respectfully your ob t Servant J. S. Edwards

Dear Sir
I send
enclosed the Application Rachel Cornwall of this Town, aged 95 years & Widow of John Cornwall deceased, who claims stated in her affidavit, on the 23 rd day of December 1813 - & Who served in the Wars of the Revolution - She first served 7 months & two days, in a Company commanded by "Capt. Simmons", & under Maj r D. G. Maye, for 7 months & two days in the year 1775 - to with from May 8. to December 10. 1775 - The Widow also makes affidavit of a service at New Haven But she can't be positive how long nor by what Captain - nor can she tell the captain's name, under whom she served - nor how long her service was at New Haven - nor who the Captain of the Artillery Company was, in which she had served - but she was called out twice, to repel a threatened attack upon New Haven by the British - She cannot recollect who the Captain was - but she is quite sure, & fully believes he served 3 months at the place called "Horse Neck" - She regrets that the long time that

Has passed since that Service which she believes was after 1780 - & only about a year - or a year & a half before her marriage - which took place March 26. 1783 - I wrote on to the present Minister of Chatham Connecticut - & also to a friend of mine living at Chatham - But he sends word to me that he cannot find any records of the marriage by said Cynthia Strong. I have therefore taken the affidavit of a Mr Charles S. Hildreth a son in law of said Dea. Cornwall Senior, & his wife Rachel, with a Certified Copy of the family Record, and an affidavit of the manner of their living together as man & wife - & of the death of said Dea. Cornwall - It appears to me, from the provisions of the pension law of June 7. 1832, & the amendment thereto would give Mrs Rachel Cornwall such pension as the Comptroller Certificate shows of 7 months 22 days would give her such other services as she dues & so far as you may think said Dea. Cornwall served, that said Rachel is entitled to the rate accruing to him from the 4 of March 1831 - I make this suggestion to you to call your attention to that part of June 7 th 1832 - Respectfully your Obedt Servt V.

Is Sir:
Some months since Mr Almeron Marks. (as I understand) instituted proceedings to recover the pension of Mrs Rachael Cornwall widow of Dan Cornwall of Durham Green Co New York deceased who was a Revolutionary soldier & who died on or about Dec 23 d 1843. Mr Marks has for a considerable time past been unwell & entirely unable to attend to business. His mind is in such a state that we are unable to get a clear & distinct account from him what has been done by him in the premises except he says that he made out the papers in her case & sent them on to the Department at Washington. Will you be kind enough to inform me how the matter stands, what has been in the case, & what further is necessary to be done on the part of the widow for her to get her pension. I am her grandson & am willing to take the matter in hand for her & do what is necessary to carry it through.

Any information you may give me in the matter will be gratefully received. Yours
Very Respectfully Yours

Dear Sir I find that in memorandum on file is my office that on the 29 th day of March 1852 I put in the Post office here a letter to your direction at the city of Washington District of Columbia enclosing an original affidavit of the "Rev Hervey Salcott" of the Town of Portland Middlesex county state of Connecticut, which town was formerly part of Town of Chatham in Dukes county State aforesaid & a Minister and Pastor of a Church to wit a Congregational Church as in his aforesaid was deposed - and that there was delivered "to him Record of Marriages by the Reverend Cyprian Strong which commenced in the year 1767 and continued to the year 1811" and further added "that on page 28 of said Record there is an entry in the year 1782 there is the following entry is made in the Hand Writing of said Cyprian Strong to wit to Wit - Oct 26. Dan Cornwall & Rachel Hale, both of Chatham were joined together in Marriage" This copy I saw in my office and it was added to this as follows and that deponent is well acquainted with said Reverend Cyprian Strong and writing and that he now has the charge & custody of said Record of Marriages, and that the above entries marked and enclosed in cover, is a true copy of the Record" To the aforesaid in my presence and the person of the person who swore him as follows "Hervey Salcott" and to which the Justice in my presence added the following Certificate "Subscribed and sworn to this 12 th day of March 1852" "Before me Samuel S. Buckingham Justice of the Peace" of course I have not copied all the whole of said affidavit

The original instrument, as you will see by looking at it in the back of it was a regular official Certificate of the County Clerk on the 13th day of March A.D. 1857 to wit: This had his official seal attached to it. Eliza Spencer Clarke  of S. Co. Ct. I signed & sealed in my presence. I find such is the fact as I copied it entire - as yet. Have not read any return, or answer to it on any Certificate. Never- can I find my letter so I sent one of some length and had a draft of it. My expenses have been a little over $30.00. I went 180 miles from here to My Father's residence in the Town of Burlington Hartford County Connecticut with my youngest daughter in her little carriage & soon there to Hudson City - then to Town of Great Litchfield County & from there to Litchfield Village & from there to New Britain - on the last day went to Bristol with a Mother in law & then took car to New Britain & from there 15 miles to New Britain to a place 2 1/2 miles called a small town Car 10 miles to New Britain. Then crossed here on mile from car & had to walk 2 1/2 miles in moderate time & one of us had to go to a justice to take oath - we did not get back to New Britain till 10 o'clock - we had a hard day over night to get Clerk's Certificate & return to Bristol next day by car & stage as I went for a and on Monday went to New Britain in New Britain on my return I went to New Britain to New Britain returned as before then New Car to New Britain City & returned then 2 1/2 hours - then to New Britain to New Britain & then to New Britain - then took car to New Britain 102 miles - then to New Britain & took New Britain car to New Britain & then about 40 miles - then to New Britain - next day Home in stage 22 miles The whole trip was back to New Britain 255 miles 2 expenses. But the driver - he said in one as soon as he went to New Britain - A friend told me recently that one Graham a Deacon of Yellow Village was meddling in the matter. Can hardly believe one & nor do I know him, as one of not much education and they were not on speaking terms - don't want his services as he not responsible - has often called on me for corn & as City & Cornmeal at New Britain and he has a claim to one loom in a small farm some work is being done at New Britain - March 28

Sir
The additional testimony Submitted by You in the Case of Rachel Cornwall widow of Daniel is satisfactory to show that she was married in 1782, and thus to bring her claim within the provisions of the Act of July 7 th 1838, but before it can be admitted, she must make a new declaration, before a Court of Record during its Session, and according to the form herewith sent, (Declarations not made before a Court of Record are not considered under our rules; but we cannot return them to the parties who make them.

To Hon. Jas. E. Heath
Commissioner of Pensions
Dear Sir
I herewith send you a declaration of Rachel Cornwall made in pursuance of a letter, a copy of which I herewith enclose, I hope it will be considered sufficient. You will of course see that it was made before the County Judge but not in open Court. It is utterly impossible for her to attend Court on account of her health, and old age. She resides some 20 miles from the Court house where Courts are held, & most of the way it is a very rough and hilly road. & I believe she has not been in a wagon to ride for nearly 12 years. If the Judge's Certificate is not sufficient on this point, I will obtain the affidavits of a Physician or two. Mr. Marks has become incapable of managing his business by reason of his insanity, and his effects and business have been placed in my hands by the order of the Court. If you should allow the application of Mrs. Cornwall, I hope you will direct all communications to me for it makes me great trouble when letters or papers come into his hands to get them out. I wish you would bear this in mind.
If any new evidence except what has been sent to you by Mr. Marks is required, I will obtain it if possible.
I take it for granted from the letter

a copy of which I enclose to you that sufficient evidence has been adduced and that all that was required in the making of another declaration before a County Judge &c. In haste

Letter to Comm. of Pension

Durham Greene County New York March 29 th 1852
To Hon J. E. Heath Commissioner of Pension. In Pretense from Connecticut to this place on Saturday, March 27 th 1852 and herein is an affidavit, sworn to before a Justice of the Peace in Connecticut, on the 12 th day of March 1852, by the Rev. Hervey Talcott, in whose possession I found the original entry of "Marriages" by the "Reverend Cyprian Sturges" Who Married "Dea. Cornwall" to "Rachel Hobbs" made in my presence & sworn to by him as stated by the Justice of the Peace, "I am S r Buckingham, & the Certificate, under the hand and official Seal of Elisha Spencer, Clerk of Middlesex County. That said Justice was such Justice, and his signature was known to be genuine, as aforesaid to it, & Certifies that he said Justice, is yet such Justice, since the 4 th of July last, in said Middlesex County, Connecticut, & duly elected, and qualified then as such Justice of the Peace in & for said Middlesex County, & authorized to administer oaths - This done in my presence - The entries in the Marriage Book, in the hand writing of said list of "Marriages" by said "Reverend Cyprian Sturges" commenced in the year 1767, and ended in the year 1811 - as for examination by me, and the papers, soon after said Sturges died, in 1811. as sworn to by said Talcott, as for his affidavit is correct, & been in his possession, as therein stated & sworn to. & the Copy is correct as therein mentioned - The Judge of Probate is located in said Town of Portland, as the Minister & Justice informed me - I have no doubt it is a true copy of the Record of such Marriage, & said Dea. Cornwall's Widows name is of course now Rachel Cornwall, & is in the age of 96 years, & is somewhat older, than she was last year when I took she was sworn before me as a Notary Public. I could not find in the of Chatham or Portland, or any old Soldiers yet living, by whom I get any additional proof of said Dea. Cornwall's additional services, after the Declaration of Independence & cannot find any here - I wrote on my way down, to Connecticut that I was going to search for such "Marriage Record" - & that if it was necessary for said Widow to be re- examined, either at Circuit Court to be held at Catskill (92 miles from here) you might send up the original papers - She may be too old to go down, & could not give any additional Testimony, and there is no Judge of County Court
in Middlesex

(or Supreme Court) as there was the past year, in this Village. The Comptroller wrote me the last year (a copy as I think of his letter, & the original was sent with the original afft. sent you) that by act of Congress, a good many of the original Revolutionary documents of soldiers service, on file in his office were transferred to the Commission of Pensions office, at Washington City - As yet my my wife says she has received no letter from your office of such papers - during my absence to Connecticut - And if such documentary evidence, is on file in your office, it could be examined, & if it corresponds with of the affidavit of the Widow before me as a Notary Public last year, the merits of her application for a Pension could be determined by her affidavit & Comptroller's Certificate, & save further expense & trouble - But if Record Evidence in Court of our County, or before a Supreme Court Judge, or County Judge is necessary you can return the same to me here Respectfully, Yours & A Marks
