The First Bishop was raised from the ranks of the Presby- terian ministry by the General Assembly at the Old School Synod which was held in Philadelphia and known as the Old School Synod and we believe him to be a man of great faith and and respected and beloved in the neighborhood where he was when he was a member of the Presbytery and that in all his trials of office
Yours sincerely just Bishop
That the Church of Christ in America is a unit in the sense that it holds the same general principles of the faith and after passing the interrogatories presented by the various denominations that the above names of the Presbyterian, Methodist, and Episcopal Churches and the Baptist Church but for that it appears to them that the Hon. Joel Bishop and David Greenleaf who have signed the preceding certificate are evidence of all three being and that their substance is entitled to credence.

BA-J/ILL Elihu Chadwick W. 29888
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Samuel Corlies, who served in Captain Thomas Chadwick's company of State troops in 1781, also, the record of Elihu Chadwick.
There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon service of the Samuel Corlies cited by you. The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 29888, based upon service of Elihu Chadwick in the Revolutionary War.
Elihu Chadwick was born May 27, 1759 in Shrewsbury Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey; his father, John Chadwick, was born March 12, 1713 and was killed April 18, 1783 by refugees.
Elihu Chadwick, while a resident of Shrewsbury Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey, enlisted June 15, 1775, served one year a private under Captain Dennis, was promoted June 15, 1776, sergeant, and served three years and eight days; was commissioned June 23, 1779, Lieutenant and commanded the 1st company in Colonel Daniel Hendrickson's 3rd New Jersey regiment for one year, six months and seventeen days; he was commissioned January 10, 1781, Lieutenant of Captain Thomas Chadwick's (Elihu's brother) company under Colonel Asher Holmes and served until January 10, 1782; subsequently, he was out as Lieutenant on all alarms until April 11, 1783. During his service, he was in the battles of Trenton, Princeton, Germantown, Monmouth, Tinton Falls and Middletown, and was wounded in action June 11, 1779, at which time his brother, Jeremiah Chadwick, was killed.
After the Revolutionary War, Elihu Chadwick received the following appointments: April 4, 1785, Captain, 1st company, 3rd regiment of Monmouth County New Jersey; June 5, 1793, Major of said 3rd regiment; November 18, 1799, Lieutenant Colonel, 3rd regiment, Monmouth County New Jersey.

Elihu Chadwick resided in Shrewsbury, New Jersey, until 1811, then moved to Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, where he remained until 1816, at which time he moved to Shippen Township, McKean County, Pennsylvania. He was Postmaster of Shippen in 1828, and Treasurer of McKean County, in 1829.
He was allowed pension on account of his service as an officer in the Revolutionary War on his application executed October 3, 1832, at which time he resided in Shippen Township, Pennsylvania. He died August 30, 1837 in Smithport, McKean County, Pennsylvania.
Elihu Chadwick married December 28, 1780, Mary --- (maiden name not shown) who was born May 1, 1764 and died August 11, 1786. He married July 26, 1789, Rebekah --- (maiden name not shown) who was born February 1, 1774.
Rebekah Chadwick, this officer's widow, was allowed pension on her application executed February 8, 1839, at which time she resided in Smithport, Pennsylvania. The date of her death was not given.
At the time of the death of Elihu Chadwick, his son, Richard, of Smithport, Pennsylvania, was register of the probate of wills for McKean County; he stated then that he and four brothers were his father's executors.
Susannah Chadwick, born October 11, 1814, daughter of Elihu Chadwick, was pensioned by Special Act of Congress, passed March 3, 1893, on account of his service in the Revolutionary War. She resided then in Emporium, Cameron County, Pennsylvania; she died July 13, 1902.
In 1832, when Elihu Chadwick made application for pension, Taber Chadwick, a clergyman of Monmouth County, New Jersey, and John Chadwick, a resident of that county, stated that they were both acquainted with said Elihu Chadwick at the time he served in the Revolutionary War, but did not state any relationship between them. In 1832, Samuel Corlis stated before a Justice of the Peace in Warren County, Ohio, that he resided on a farm in 1779 near the place where Jeremiah Chadwick was killed and that he was well acquainted with Elihu Chadwick; he did not state that he (S. Corlis) served in the Revolutionary War.

Sir I wish to communicate to the Secretary at War through the medium of your Honor. The situation of Eliza Chadwick who is receiving from the United States Government a Pension of $320.00 a year for services as an Officer in the army of the revolution. Since he had it in contemplation to draw a Pension he states that he was in the battle of Bunkerhill, which can by his own previous statements be proven to be false, it can be proven in this County that he has stated that he has received ten horses at a time from the British, one of them being taken by an American officer he prosecuted him & obtained pay for the horse, it can be proven that he has stated that he has been many a dark night to assist the British, his name was not returned to the war office but in making out his papers to send on to obtain a pension when taken by the clerk for witness appeared as he supposed without any hearing his name cut up stops a man by the name of Norton who had not seen him since the battle of Bunkerhill, then they were witnesses for each other, it is reported by citizens from New Jersey that he was a Tory & I believe it could be proven to be a notorious fact. Pleas to me the favor of communicating these things to the Secretary at War. — Pleas give my best respects to the Hon John Laporte for Mr. Gildarts communication to the President of the Democratic at Jackson, — I am Sir your Obil Servant

Deposition of John Earl taken this 4 th April 1835 who deposith and saith that he heard Elisha Chadwick say that he was not in the battle of manmoth but went on to the battle ground after the battle was over, and heard said Chadwick say that the british had taken a quantity of horses from the ame- ricans and a portion of them escaped and he took them up and converted them to his own use, and an american came and took one of them for the use of the american Service Said Chadwick pros- ecuted the american and collected pay for the horse heard said Chadwick say that the reason of his all ways voting against the Democratic government was that he and four more had agreed to do all that they could against said democratic government and the reason assigned was because they were not promoted in office, saith that he has been acquainted with said Chadwick for eighteen years and knows that he has allways done all that was in his power against said government and has often persued- ed me to vote the federal ticket and has often deceived me in the politics of the candidates running for office, has heard Chadwick make the statements at Elections that Andrew Jackson was no more fit for President than the greatest infidel in State Prison was for a Justice of the Peace and further saith not John Earl

J. L. Edwards Esq. Commissioner of Pensions at Washington Sir I must ap- ologize for not writing to you before this time I was waiting for the Court to sit in our town at which time I intended to obtain a certificate from the Judges of our County of the char- acter of John Earl as to truth and veracity but on the 29 th June being Saturday before Court, I was told by L. R. Hawkins Deputy Prothonotary & others that Col. Oliver Shaw had six or seven depositions from respectable Men of his services in the revolution if that is true it is very different from what I expected I supposed from statements of others that Morton or Frank Morton was the only evidence in his case, but Sir you will discover from the deposition enclosed that what I stated was in good faith as never have been any marks against the old man but if it is a fact that he has such depositions at the war depart- ment I should think his case a cleane one and if he has actively served his country he ought to be entitled to his Pension I have the fullest Confidence in what L. R. Hawkins has stated in regard to the depositions and am of the Opinion that his Pension should be with- held no longer I am Sir with Respect Your Obl. Servant Nathl. Wells

Mr. DAVIS, from the Committee on Pensions, submitted the following
REPORT:
[To accompany H. R. 4955.]
The Committee on Pensions, to whom was referred the bill (H. R. 4955) granting a pension to Susannah Chadwick, have examined the same and report:
The Committee on Invalid Pensions of the House of Representatives, having examined the evidence in support of this bill, made a favorable report which is adopted by your committee and is as follows:
The Committee on Pensions, to whom was referred the bill (H. R. 4955) granting a pension to Susannah Chadwick, have considered the same and report as follows:
The claimant is the daughter of Elihu Chadwick, whose service in the war of the Revolution is certified to by the adjutant-general of New Jersey as follows:
"Elihu Chadwick was commissioned as an ensign in the Second Regiment, Hunterdon County, New Jersey Militia; was promoted lieutenant in the same regiment, afterwards transferred as lieutenant to the First Regiment, Monmouth County, New Jersey Militia, and in these offices served in the Revolutionary war."
In her petition the claimant states she is 78 years old, wholly without means of support, and entirely dependent upon relatives for food and clothing.
Maynard Ingalsby and B. H. Freeman corroborate, under oath, the above statements of the claimant.
Your committee find there are several precedents for the proposed legislation, and in view of the claimant's great age and necessitous circumstances the passage of the bill is recommended.

and Sir my heavy work prevents submitting the Mail I should have sent had in a letter to you and you can see that if I had not been disappointed by some people having returned me a box of books I should have given you a further account of N. White & John Earl. The subject I speak of is not for publication when I speak of N. White I do not tell how far the information with I can. The information was to give a distance for the present. I should also say that there had been within N. White's radius in the battle of the of home and East and my loss of as I had no orders and that on the 10th N. White's house had in the house in battle with the enemy with force others within half a mile of where my brother was killed the night before I should also state that after my brother was killed 5 miles by the enemy he left his farm and moved 26 miles back from the lines in July 1862 and at a later date he was in the town of Salem the buildings which he had and as peace was on the 9th April 1865 and that he went back to let the Southern forces that he wished to move back by the 25th and a Mr. Sykes just in half with him and went back for a load of oysters & Mr. Sykes little boy 11 years old went with them and on the way as they were on the river a boat with 12 or 15 Ruffians in who had been to get their friends goodly for some reason the river is above N. White's they killed only one and Mr. Sykes and let the boat and abandoned the boy. I mean they could not be recovered of his sons. When he was about 20 years of age I should have thought I had helped him without being asked by such as Nathaniel White and I can Respectfully E. Chandler

Hawkins, the third attack they made was on Brewster Freeman one of the county commissioners by sending in a false Merrimack's Report in writing and kept him from getting his pay for making Turnpike Road and the Governor requested Mr. Freeman to return and get such testimony as to prove their report false which he did and get his pay and then they boasted of the trouble they had put him to. It learns that I am the next they have put themselves in way against me but in what way is known to you. I am Entirely ignorant I am told that my pension is suspended.

Dear Sir
South West Mifflin Co Pa May 2 - 1885
your letter of April 24 - stating that there is a charge of robbery on the side of the Pennsylvania during the War of the Rebellion Now Sir you are in possession of the Commission that from 1861 to 1865 also my Special Warrant from a Committee of the Legislature one of whose tasks it was to settle in the summer of 1861 while under my immediate command that Nathan Secrest and Joseph Baughman then Major and former Governor of Pennsylvania visited me in the personal quarters and treated him with the hospitality of War at the headquarters between Maryland and Pennsylvania as I Englishman of his services no doubt he will be remembered the Commission also Special Order from Colonel Ashmun to me with the testimony of Peter Conrad the Engineer. The small little John (last visit) James Taylor a soldier who denied my Commission and application in 1861. The year 1861 is hanging in the 12 months since taken by William Lloyd Esda Bridge of the Court of Common Pleas of the County of Northumberland who writes to me that he is two years and twenty days older than I am. Who knew me well in the War of the Rebellion. also you have the testimony of Captain David Corlis and John Lake taken in Western Virginia before Judge Smith also the testimony of Joseph Thomas taken in this County before the Court who is now a pensioner. I also have now in my papers the several appointments and dates hereafter named and I should or will be on the tenth instant by James Taylor high Sheriff of Mifflin County David Cross Esda of the authors of the peace & Brethren Freeman Esda one of the Commissioners of said County. how can it possibly be that I should obtain my testimony at the distance of from three to five hundred miles East and South West of this place and get the Judges and Clerks all to testify to a falsehood. When I have not been 30 miles from home since the year 1832 nor for some years before being very infirm with a broken constitution I never was in the Ennui lines during the War but I was on a sandy bank with General David Cross and with some friends after the Battle of Gettysburg the light horse that was in possession of the battlefield in 1863 and rose in January 1865 in company with Colonel Michael Reed of the Falls before the Battle of Appomattox with our two companies to study break in the night and take a number of the Enemy out of their tents in the meadows. There is a quick set of people in this place that will say or do anything best what is right I have not within the pages of my writings and the contents of what is written as it is believed that there is not a man living in this place that would dare write his name to any such letter but that these names appear that is not in substance I can defend myself against a man or persons unknown. I have just had a letter from Honorable John Shortt a member of Congress from this District informing me that he has a letter in the hands of Hon. Joseph H. Dithmar who makes me a statement against me and he told him he believed it was from such person or persons and he would not deny that without but that afterwards Genl Anthony told him he had sent into the war office he advised me to write to General Anthony for the names who signed the letter. I have but not the Genl's approval yet. Can any of this statement from such people destroy my Commission and all testimony in my hands. But surely since one copy of my Commission is in law to Justice Yours sincerely David Cross

I have the papers of the 13th instant. from John L. Horton since 120 Miles from me, and I have not been one Mile from home in 18 months. I have wrote to the Southern part of Pa. of Penn. Provincial on him to come here if he will find the County of McKean including Lying Nathaniel White and absent from 4 to 6 of his Lying Bury all alive in My bedchamber. I did not expect to have to write to you again till I had had from John L. Horton on you but at 4 o'clock this afternoon I was informed by a Gentleman who had but left of your Letter giving the information that my pension was suspended and that the fraud was wanted to establish the charge that I was with the Enemy during the War of the Revolution. my friend is willing to find that he will borrow some of his Lying as his way to succeed. I am informed that N. White & Joseph Tracy had No fraud but Lately & John L. Morton who has been in the Court here. They never knew I had the testimony of one Congressman & 2 Captains & 3 more Witnesses which a quantity of my friends have indicated the copies of all my Commission Special Warrant from a Committee of the Legislature for Lying stars. Must have been very kind to me on the side of the Enemy to have sent him a Commission in the heat of the war and the Witnesses Lying 200 miles Short from Monmouth County New Jersey to Warren County Ohio and a part of them I have not seen in 30 years. Suppose the whole County of McKean should say that I have been thought an officer of the Revolution Would that be any less as much as the testimony of 7 Witnesses of good character with my Commission and other papers, there is not a man Lying to my knowledge or belief in Pennsylvania that ever knew me 25 years ago excepting Joseph H. Harkness and my own family who was born & Lying after the War. I Would Wish to know how Lying I am to be kept in Susquehanna waiting for the Lying papers to be sent to me to swear to a Lying as N. White and some others has been instructed with the Commission of Justice they may long serve No. 1000. if I Lying wanted by I ought to be informed please maybe no hear from you as soon as Yours I L.

Hon J. S. Bueards } Smeth Port Nelson for July 22 - 1835 Sir you've stated that an affidavit had been read at your office that I had said I was not in the Battle of Manassas and that I took 14 horses that the British had took from the Union cause the day before & an explanation was wanted, it was well known that John Earl who has been in the habit of swearing to lies for the last 15 or 20 years of his life and who since made by Bell on the 25 of Oct 1866 and Nathaniel White the first witness to it with five others said White will know him to be a fit tool like himself. Said Earl boasted of what he had done and by that means it came out I give you the full statement of said Earl's character under the oaths of David Cross & Benjamin Freeman Esqrs with Nathaniel White's character in part I give you the statement of the Battle of Manassas from Saturday the 27th through the 28th day of the battle & the position of the Army till they went on Sunday back and the way that Jesse Frazier that Herbert & myself took the horses. I expected your answer on last Saturday at the furthest but not getting it I and my friends is doubtful of the letter ever getting out of the country as it is well known what hands it has to pass through if it does get clear. I would thank you to let me hear from you whether you have recd said letter dated 29 of June above I dated July the 1 st I think I sent a different post from the one dated 29 June. Now Sir let me ask you if a blackguard like John D. not have that just such a letter against the Great & Good Washington and have been asked to have produced it as Nathaniel White has done about me saying I was on the side of the Enemy during the Rebellion my War. you have my own Special Name from a Committee of the Legislature & Col Ashmun's order to Enroll a Company of Volunteers. my own application under oath with the testimony of several men two Captains and Soldiers who lived under me in the 12 months Service and three others all testifying to the same thing did not the charge come as by a Mr. King's face of it saying I was on the side of the Enemy in any part of the war. I proved that I entered the Service in a City ahead of the war. which I know was in the south

Now Sir is there in the war Department any better testimony any than I have produced. but it seems that I am labelled as a shielded bird after suffering all the hardships of a war of at least Eight years and losing My Dearest friends than living and have been by age and hardships in the war Must now be accused of lying letters without any shadow of truth in them. I don't know of any lying letters that was in the battle of Manassas with the exception of some has been always all I was then acquainted with as far as comes to my knowledge that was in the battle with me I have repeatedly asked for the copies of the different letters sent to the war office that I may bring before a court of justice than that is equal to the right of a man to be guilty of making my character in the most vital part. The said Whit and Earl has both denied and said that they have not found any such letter to bring them out. This I have proof of been called upon. but it is from some very common with the war office though it is no harm to break the truth in a just cause. I have more solid certified copies of the papers in the war office charging me with being on the side of the enemy in the war of the rebellion many war. if you have not received my letter together with the testimony dated the 29 of June last please let me know as I can have it get renewed again if necessary

Sir your Letter of the 18 of July is Recd with Sanctions to know on the agent Mr. Nathaniel White is now telling My Friends that he never wrote to the war Department that I ever was on the side of the Enemy in the war of the rebellion But that it had been said by some that they had heard from further that in the latter part of May last he was satisfied that the Rebel was wrong by a large majority of the people who has been the (only) only Commission Special Warner from the Legislative Order from Col. Palmer and Chief of all the authors of the Retrospect that he wrote an immediately then to the war Department that he could not prove any thing against me and expected the judgment had been returned. When asked if he had not sent on the testimony of John Earl since last may he said he had to show the Department that the testimony amounted to nothing. John Earl now finds he is false and he tells my friends that White told him if he was not sure that he White would go immediately to Rensselaer where he could get all the rest he wanted. I believe there is not a (credible) man in Mikeav (county) believes one word of it. I am that other of them says are the select.

Dear Sir
Last evening about eight o'clock, my honored father, Hiram Chadwick, a participant in the Revolutionary War and a Division of the United States left this world, in great peace. My affectionate Mother (has written) will probably not survive long. Myself, with four Brothers are this Evening here. I am Register for the probate of Wills for the County. My object in addressing you at this time is to ask if you are the person to handle such affairs, if you have them, and the necessary investigation, that his personal from the State of Maine last may be drawn, and also to give you notice of his departure. Don't know what will take place if Veterans be estimated. I feel thankful that he lived to see the time that he and those who, not to mention with his personal enemies could cordially unite together to allay our common Enemy Death.
Yours the Son
Richard Chadwick
