Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your request for information relative to the Revolutionary War soldier, Joseph Hallock, who was born in 1748, served as private in the New York line and died June 8, 1832.
The data which follow were taken from papers on file in the pension claim, W.19682, based on the military service of the only soldier by the name of Joseph Hallock that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
Joseph Hallock was born March 1, 1762. The place of his birth and the names of his parents are not given.
He enlisted at Newburgh, New York, in the fall of 1779 as private in Captain Faulkiner's company in Colonel Paulding's New York regiment to serve eight months; before the expiration of this service he re-enlisted in Captain George Fleming's company in Colonel John Lamb's Artillery regiment, was in the siege of Yorktown and at the surrender of Cornwallis and was discharged in June, 1783.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 8, 1818, at which time he was living at Newburgh, Orange County, New York.
He died June 8, 1832, at Newburgh, New York.
Joseph Hallock married about the middle of October, 1791 or 1792, Sarah who was born April 2, 1772, her maiden name not given. The marriage took place at the home of the soldier's father, a place called "Gardner Town" about four miles from Newburgh.

As the widow of Joseph Hallock, Sarah Hallock was allowed pension on her application executed September 4, 1838, at which time she was living in Newburgh, New York. She was living there in 1864.
The names of the following children of Joseph and Sarah Hallock were given:

In 1820 the soldier, Joseph Hallock, referred to his son, Henry, aged eight years, and to his daughter, "Esther," aged twenty-one years, who had a child named Sarah who was three years old, Esther's married name not given.
There are no further data relative to the soldier's family.

Joseph Hallock, W.19682 RA-J/MOS
Mr. Harlan W. Jenks Box 424, Benjamin Franklin P.O. Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter of April 16, 1938, requesting information relative to Joseph Hallock, a Revolutionary War soldier who lived in Vermont and later moved to St. Lawrence County, New York, where he is said to have died about 1834.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, W.19682, based on the military service of the only soldier by the name of Joseph Hallock that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
Joseph Hallock was born March 1, 1762. The place of his birth and the names of his parents were not given.
He enlisted at Newburgh, New York, in the fall of 1779 as private in Captain Faulkiner's company in Colonel Paulding's New York regiment to served eight months; before the expiration of this service he reenlisted in Captain George Fleming's company in Colonel John Lamb's artillery regiment, was in the siege of Yorktown and at the surrender of Cornwallis and was discharged in June, 1783.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 8, 1818, at which time he was living at Newburgh, Orange County, New York.
He died June 8, 1832, at Newburgh, New York.
Joseph Hallock married about the middle of October, 1791 or 1792, Sarah who was born April 2, 1772, her maiden name not given. The marriage took place at the home of the soldier's father, a place called "Gardner Town" about four miles from Newburgh.

As the widow of Joseph Hallock, Sarah Hallock was allowed pension on her application executed September 4, 1838, at which time she was living in Newburgh, New York. She was living there in 1864.
The names of the following children of Joseph and Sarah Hallock were given:
John born August 29, 1793. Julianne " August 26, 1795. Ester " April 2, 1798. Mary " August 12, 1801. Joseph " August 10, 1803, resident of Newburgh in 1839. Rachel " January 12, 1805. William H. " June 12, 1809.
In 1820 the soldier, Joseph Hallock, referred to his son, Henry, aged eight years, and to his daughter, "Esther", aged twenty-one years, who had a child named Sarah who was three years old, Esther's married name not given.
There are no further data relative to soldier's family.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension of the widow, the name and address of the person to whom it was paid and possibly the date of death of the widow, it is suggested that you address the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, Washington, D.C., giving the following data:
Sarah Hallock, widow of Joseph Hallock, Certificate 1430, issued March 11, 1858, rate $100 per annum, commenced March 4, 1848, Act of February 2, 1848, New York City Agency.

Hon. Commissioner of Pensions, Sir:
Mrs. Sarah Hallock, of this place, is a pensioner of the United States, as widow of Joseph (I think) Hallock. She is very old and very infirm. She says she has never had her pension certificate; but that Joseph Ellis, of Bloomingburgh, Sullivan Co. N.Y. has it and has drawn her pension, some of which she thinks she has not had.
Last September, she came to me and requested me to interpose to save her money from Ellis. I sent out to him, and demanded, under a power of attorney, all money, papers, &c. belonging to her. I received for answer the paper I enclose. Ellis has not called, but has systematically avoided me, when he has come to this place. The old lady again begs me to help her. Permit me to ask whether your files furnish any evidence

showing Ellis' transaction, and the custody of the certificate.
With great respect Yr. obedt servant, Thomas George.

Washington, Oct. 30 th 1856.
Sir:
The enclosed certificate has been sent to me by Mrs. Sarah Hallock, of N.Y. for the purpose of obtaining a small increase of pension to which she is entitled.
Her husband, Joseph Ellis, was a pensioner under the act of 1818, at $96, and survived the passage of the act of 1832 a few years I believe. She was allowed under the acts of 1838, 1843 &c. $80 per annum, but was increased to $46 under the joint resolution of 1848.
As her husband was a private of Artillery, and served more than two years in that capacity, he was entitled to $100 per annum from the 4 th of March 1831 to his death, and she was entitled to the same amount under the several acts under which she has been pensioned.
She therefore claims an increase of $4 per annum under act of 1832, from 4 th March 1831 to her husband's death, - of $20 per annum from 4 th March 1836 to 1 st July 1848, - and $4 per annum since the last mentioned date.

Sir
In the case of Elizabeth Johnson widow of Samuel Johnson an applicant for a pension under the Law of July 7 th 1838. I forwarded to the Pension office the original declaration of the applicant, with your letter of July 22 nd 1822, proof of the marriage by the affidavit of Mrs. Arndell, & the certificate of the said marriage by Uriah Drake the Justice who performed the ceremony, on the 13 th day of last September. You thereupon required legal proof that the said Uriah Drake was a Justice at the time of said marriage, & also that the said marriage certificate was genuine. On the sixth day of last December I sent you under cover of a letter to the Hon Nathaniel Gomers, the certificate of the Secretary of this State, that the said Uriah Drake was a Justice at the time aforesaid, also the affidavit of Daniel Smith Merchant of New York, Son in Law of the said Justice, that the name Uriah Drake

subscribed to said certificate of marriage, is the genu- ine signature of said Justice. Since then I have heard nothing relating to the case, though I particu- larly requested Mr Jones to enquire at the Pension office previous to his leaving Washington —
In the case of Sarah Hallock I sent the Bible leaf referred to in her supplemental state- ment in pursuance of your letter to Mr Jones of February 25 th 1839, accompanied by her affidavit proving it genuine, and mine that I said it but from her Bible. If you object to her affida- vit because it was signed with a mark, and no certificate that she cannot write, I now beg leave to observe, that there are several certificates of that fact, on file with her papers — If you require a formal certificate that I am a credible witness from John R. Baldwell the Commissioner before whom I was sworn, it shall be sent without delay. I forgot to ask him to certify at the foot of the affida- vit. That he is a Commissioner he appears from the certificate on file in the case of June Dubois — see Mr Griffiths affidavit, and also in the case of Christian Vander- yer see Michael Smiths affidavit —
I trust you will excuse me for requesting to know your

decision in the above cases, when I inform you that I am continually haunted by the applicants who are Poor, and having com- plied with your directions & the law as they believe in all things, afflict me sorely by their importunity
I remain very Respectfully

I received a letter from Hon. Nathan Jones a few days ago, enclosing one from Sam Jones to him of 9th Inst. Requesting him to say whether the Report in the case of Rachel Johnson & Sarah Wallock are to be made to him or to the subscriber. Therefore beg one moment's indulgence whilst I explain again the circumstances, under which those Papers were sent to Mr Jones, as I did in a letter to you written about the time of your said letter to him. On the 23 d of April last I went to Newburgh where the Circuit Court was sitting, to perfect the Papers, on my return home I was prostrated suddenly by the bursting of a blood vessel. On the 27 th the disorder returned with increased violence, and I was advised by my Physicians to settle all business immediately which could not be settled by others. I had lived in the immediate Neighborhood of Jacob Johnson & his family about 35 years, & also in the Neighborhood of Joseph Wallock & family the same length of time, & had moreover obtained his pension for him in his life time, and his back pay for his widow after his death. I knew that the applicants were Justly entitled to their Pensions. (No man can be certain of transactions from the uncontradicted Report of the whole Country, without seeing them with his own eyes) Therefore directed my Daughter to send the Papers to Mr Jones. The applicants are old and Poor, a long delay will amount to a denial of their rights. I make this explanation to prevent delay - The evidence that Mrs Wallock was the widow of Joseph Wallock the Pensioner, was taken before our Court of Common Pleas to enable her to draw his back pension after his death & is on file at the war office - & in the case of Rachel Johnson Lucia

identally met with Mr Samuel Lockwood, a Deacon in the Church of this place a few days ago who says he knows that Jacob Johnson late the husband of the applicant serv- ed in the Massachusetts line throughout the war obtained a badge of Merit, & was discharged at the end of the war at Snake Hill in the Town of New Windsor - His testimony may now be obtain- ed, In a short time his legs will be closed forever

Amended affidavit of Sarah Hullock -
Personally appeared before the subscriber a Justice of the Peace in & for the County aforesaid Sarah Hullock a credible Witness to me personally known and an applicant for a pension as the widow of Joseph Hullock deceased, under the Laws of July 7 th 1838, and having been duly sworn according to Law deposeth and saith by way of amendment of her original declaration for a Pension at the Pension office in the City of Washing- ton, That she was married about the middle of October in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety one to her late Husband Joseph Hullock by Benjamin Carpenter Esquire a Jus- tice of the Peace in & for Ulster County, then residing at Newburgh. That Mich- ael Johnson the Witness for deponent was married by the said Justice in the Month of January next thereafter, that Samuel Wood whose affidavit is an- nexed, and the said Rachel were Pres- ent at the said Wedding - That Ben- jamin Carpenter Esquire by whom De- ponent was married as aforesaid, was the father of Leonard and Jacob Carpenter & Polly Fairchild, whose affidavit is hereto an- nexed, Deponent was informed at the time

of swearing to her said declaration, that the father of the said Leonard and Jacob was also named Leonard, and was a Justice of the Peace residing in Newburgh at the time Deponent was married as aforesaid, and the Identical Justice by whom Deponent was married as aforesaid, which on inquiry I am sure was a Mistake. Deponent has been recently informed by the said Polly Fairchild that her father Benjamin Carpenter, was the only man of the name of Carpenter who ever officiated at Newburgh as a Magistrate, and Deponent believes it to be true, that no man of the name of Leonard Carpenter was ever a Magistrate in either Ulster or Orange Counties. The said Polly also informed Deponent that her said father officiated as a Justice of the Peace in and for the County of Ulster, until his death, which happened some time in the year 1798, as Deponent has been informed and believes, but that he kept no record of marriages solemnized by him, though he married many persons. And Deponent also saith that she was married at the house of her husband's father, and that the said Samuel Weed went for the said Justice to come and perform the marri-

age ceremony, which he did accordingly. and Deponent further saith that the said Benjamin Carpenter who married the said Sarah Wallock and Joseph Wallock was the Identical Benjamin Carpente- -ter named in the annexed Certificate of the Clerk of Ulster County. Depo- -nent is now sure that she was married in October one thousand seven hundred and ninety one for the following reasons viz her eldest child John Wallock was for- -ty six years old on the 12 th day of Last August, as appears from the Family Record kept in Deponents Family bi- -ble, and was born on the 12 th day of the next August after Deponent was ma- -ried as aforesaid —

Amended affidavit.
Rachel Johnson having been by me duly sworn by way of amendment of her affidavit attached to the original decla- -ration of Sarah Wallock for a Pension, on account of the services of her late husband Joseph Wallock deceased on file at the Pen- sion office & Deponeth and saith that she is now satisfied that she was mistaken in stating in said affidavit that said Sarah Wallock was married to the said Joseph Wallock by Leonard Carpenter Esquire, Deponeth saith that said Sarah was in fact married to the said Joseph by Benjamin Carpenter Esquire deceas- -ed of the town of Newburgh, who had two sons, Leonard, and Jacob, and a daughter Polly, who married Aaron Fairchild. The said Polly Fair- -child now lives in Newburgh, and is the daugh- -ter of the identical Benjamin Carpenter Esquire who married the said Sarah Wallock and Joseph Wallock deceased. At the time deponent swore to her said affidavit, she had an impression on her mind, that the father of the said Leonard Carpenter and Jacob Carpenter, and Polly Fairchild, was nam- -ed Leonard, but after making satisfactory in- -quiry of those who were well acquainted with the said Benjamin Carpenter, De- ponent states with confidence that the said Benjamin Carpenter above mentioned & described was the identical Justice who solemn- -ized the said marriage, and who Depon- -ent meant and intended to designate by the name of Leonard Carpenter, & that

no Justice or other Magistrate of the name of Leonard Carpenter, lived in the said Counties of Orange or Ulster, at the time of solemn- izing said marriage. Deponent also saith that she was mistaken in stating the said marriage of the said Sarah Hullock to have taken place in October 1792. It in fact took place in October 1790 which depon- ent knows to be true from the following circumstances which she now distinctly recollects. Deponent was married to her late husband Jacob Johnson by the said Benja- =min Carpenter Esquire, on the 19 th day of January forty six years ago on the 19 th day of January last past. Samuel Johnson Deponents Eldest Child will be 46 years old on the second day of Februa- ry next & he was born one year and thirteen days after said Marriage. The said Sarah Hullock was married by the said Benjamin Carpenter Esquire, about the middle of October, next preceding the marriage of Deponent. Deponent also saith that the Benjamin Carpenter by whom Deponent & the said Sarah Hullock were married as aforesaid, was the Denti- cal Benjamin Carpenter named in the annexed Certificate of the Clerk of Ulster County. That he the said Benjamin then resided in Red Bank, which was a part of Ul- =ster County but was with four other Towns set off about this time and annexed to Orange County, as Deponent has been informed.
