Sir
I have the honor of transmitting you additional Evidence in the claim of widow Polly Hullett to a land warrant - I cannot refer you to the number of the claim. The declaration was sent to the Pension Office November 18-1856 - One of your letters relating to said claim is of February 10-1857 Another relating to said claim is dated November 5-1857 your last letter is not in my hands Respectfully Yours Lewis Elliott

Your letter of the fifth instant relating to the County Land Claim of Phebe Hulet No. 204-532 is received.
You say that if record evidence of marriage exists it must be filed. I understand that there is no record of marriage whatever but most any number of depositions of persons that have been taken to show that they lived together as husband and wife and were generally married. But the question is not decided by the absence of a record of marriage. Will you please read the following and say what the evidence amounts to. Sufficiently identify the person of the husband. I well know that the two depositions of John Hulet and John Stearns were spurious taken they not Hulet where to a Hulet he died when he went into the Revolutionary war. But that Hulet and John Stearns were Pensioners an act of 1832 and by allowing their

declarations you will see that said John Hulet and John Stearns were residents of Berkshire County Mass. And they represent in their depositions that Asa Hulet resided in the same place.
The Certificate of the State of Mass. shows the same fact that said Asa Hulet resided in Berkshire County Mass.
Had there been more than one man in the war of the Revolution found in the Secretary's Office by the name of Asa Hulet, most likely the Secretary would mention it. Widow Polly Hulet is a Pauper and is supported by the town or county of Lanesboro.
