426 South Avenue, Media, Penna., March 11th, 1932.
The War Department, The Adjutant General's Office, Washington, D. C.,
Gentlemen:
I am most anxious to obtain a copy of a Frederick Hadley's pension papers, if in case he ever obtained a pension for service during the Revolutionary War.
He was living in Marlborough, Ulster County, N. Y. in 1790, and his war service was as follows:
Private - Hays' Regiment - Tourneur's Company - N. Y. " Cooper's " - Gardiner's " - N. Y. " Johnson's " - Mastin's " - N. Y.
I am sorry, but I am unable to furnish you with any dates. I know he was of Yonkers, Westchester County, N. Y. when he enlisted.
If you have his pension papers, and would advise me as to the cost for a copy of same, I would be most grateful.
Most respectfully yours,
Kingston L. Hadley

The Office admitted in 1837 that Frederick Hadley, - whose widow Catharine was then applying for the benefit of the act of July 4, 1836 - served three months & ten days. The certificate now forwarded does not show any more than was admitted then. Six months service must be shown before the claim can be allowed.

Dear Sir
In with you have further evidence in support of the claim of Catharin Hadley for a pension on ac- count of the revolutionary services of her late husband Frederick Hadley.
also a request - from Mr Soper Esq the former atty that - all communications hereafter be directed to me
The affidavits of John & Frederick Hadley shows that the said Frederick & Catharin must have been married as early as 1789 or 90. according to their age
The affidavit of Mary Jenson & Margaret Covert shows the baptism of them as early as 1792 and their connection with the church
The deed executed and acknowledged by them in 1810 shows that at that time they were married, according to the law of the State of N.Y. no deed can be entered of record over

under the Commission or Justice taking the acknowledgment knows that to be the fact & so certify, which is always read as Evidence
The Comptroller Certificate shows Siris in May 1880 & also in Jan'y & August of the following year as would appear from the date. The year has probably been omitted under the date of which he stands Credited with £8,010 and £0,17-0. This is would show Siris for about one year & then 2 1/2 months

Dear Sir
Your communication of the 11 inst was received I was somewhat disappointed in examining the contents in finding that your Honor had come to the conclusion you have in reference to the service of Frederick Hadley the testimony of Stephen Hadley his brother shows that Frederick served two years or more as you will see by referring to his affidavit which was filed with the first papers sent to the department in this case this evidence of Stephen Hadley in my judgment brings the case within the rule of evidence as required under the law if any other evidence would make out a case which would entitle the claimant to a full pension the language of the Rule to be observed as to the evidence is in the following words (the claimant must in every case when there is no records or documentary proof of service produce the testimony of at least one credible witness) in this case there is record proof & Stephen Hadley is also shown to be a credible witness & was a man of good standing as a member of the Baptist Society do I understand the marriage is now fully proven you will please

answer this communication at the earliest convenience
I am Sir yours

Sir,
The additional evidence in the case of Catharine Hadley dec d widow of Frederick of New York, has been received.
The objections to the admission of this claim are, that the proof is insufficient to shew that Frederick performed as much as six months services: and that it does not establish the date of his and Catharine's death, nor the names and number of their surviving children.
