John Woodward Clerk

United States of America } City and County of New York } On the ninth day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and Twenty Three personally appeared before me Isaac Had- ley aged Seventy years, residing in the City of New York who being by me  duly sworn  did deponed  say that the reason of his not setting forth particularly the man- ner of his promotion from the Sergeantcy to the Lieu- tenancy was in Captain Bower's Company was this. At the time deponent enlisted Alexander McCarthy was first Lieutenant of Captain Bower's Company who died after which deponent was merely appointed by the Captain to fill the vacancy of the second Lieutenant by so oc- casioned by the death of the first Lieutenant and the promotion of the second Lieutenant (whose name depo- nent thinks was John Barr.) Deponent saith that he never was Commissioned and has not sworn so in his application the words are " appointed a Lieu- tenant " - and the reason deponent was silent upon that heads in his last affidavit made in No- -vember last was that he thought inasmuch as he had received no Commission but had merely acted in that Capacity without an official appointment it was unnecessary to set it forth - Deponent saith he does not think there would be any difficulty for the Witnesses to explain the circumstance as depo- -nent verily believes it is within their recollection but deponent is quite an old man and it would be

extremely difficult for him to get the witnesses all together again - one of his brothers resides at New Utrecht on Long Island, the other he has not seen for a long time past and does not know now where to find him - Deponent saith that he thinks if a reference is again had to his papers if a reference is again had to his original papers by the Secretary of War he will find that it is stated that he was "appointed" and not "commissioned" a Lieutenant, at least it is so in his original papers on file here.

New York June 18 th 1823.
Sir. In answer to your Letter of the first ultimo, I take the liberty to state, that the enclosed affidavit has been made, to explain the apparent ambiguity on the face of the papers transmitted to the Pension Office, in favor of Mrs. Sarah Hadley.
It will appear upon a re-examination of his papers, that although he acted in the capacity of a " Lieutenant " yet unfortunately for him now, never was " Commissioned " but was in the words of his original application merely " appointed ".
The witness affidavit also would have been procured and transmitted but it was deemed unnecessary as the affidavit of Hadley himself appears to be very full, and sufficient to remove the misapprehension induced by the substitution of the word " Commissioned " for the word " appointed ". Hadley is also an old man and as stated in his affidavit from a personal knowledge of the difficulty in obtaining the attendance of his witnesses I can assure the Secretary of War, in State, the truth.
With sentiments of very great Respect
I am Sir your most ob d
