This is to certify that in the year 1784 the Rev d Henry Mueller became the Pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Ebenezer Church in the city and county of Albany, State of New York, that he continued his Pastoral relation to said congregation until the year 1789 and that although a Record of Communicants belonging to said Church and of Children baptised by him and other Pastors was made as early as the year 1784, no Record or trace of a Record of Marriages is to be found until the year 1794. At which time, I am informed, the Law of the State of New York required such Record to be kept thenceforward.
To all of which I have set my hand this 30 th day of May A.D. 1839

Yours in relation to the claim of Ann Maria Haner widow of Philip Haner dec d made 20 June last has been rec d . When in his life time rec d a pension I believe of $60. per annum. - Of the proof on file of his services or warrantee that pension I presumed his widow would be entitled to the same. upon the proof already furnished. - If however his pension was too much and not warranted by proof. then she his widow must of course accept such certificate as your Department may feel authorized to grant.

Hon J. S. Edwards, Sir
Enclosed are the applications of the widows of two Revolutionary soldiers - The one of Sally Knight widow of Oliver Knight is a new one - The other Ann Maria Hanor, is not so, but from an examination of the papers, they contain all the regulations of your Department require - From a communication of yours under date of 28. Feby 1839. to the Hon. Henry Tail M.C. from this District. among other things you say "It appears from documents obtained from the State of N.York since the claim of the applicant's husband was allowed, that he was allowed for more service that he was entitled to" - You will observe by reference to the application of Philip Hanor that his claim was supported by proof. and if a deficiency in the N.Y. documents fail to make out enough to square with the proof - I submit to you most cheerfully, whether the loose & uncertain character of these documents, many of which in this State have been lost, shall or ought in justice to the applicant in this case to lessen or diminish her claim for a pension - Respectfully - Archibald Dull
