I wish you would be kind enough now to state what additional Certificate you require to entitle Mrs Catalyntje Green to her Pension. She has been put to a considerable expense in obtaining Certificates, and now wishes to bring the matter to a close without any further expense. if you are determined not to grant it, say so, and it will end the business. I remain with respect.

Dear Sir!
Pardon me for taking the liberty of making a little enquiry of you in behalf of an aged Lady a neighbour of mine who is needy, by the name of Cathalyntha Green Widow of William Green deceased who served as an Ensign in the N. York Militia during the Revolution. She having made an application to you for her Pension some time last December, gave her Papers to Mr. John Cramer to forward to your office. Since that time she has had no information Relative to the matter. She wishes you would inform her whether you Rec d them if so, what is to be the result. She being of the age of 89 she wishes to enjoy the benefit of it while she may yet be permitted to live. She wishes you would inform her on the subject as soon as possible, and oblige a Friend. I have lived neighbour to the Old Lady for 25 years, and it has often been a source of gratification as well as interest that I have listened to the Old mans War stories no doubt but they suffered greatly during the War. I am very respectfully.

Sir!
Your Letter of the 2 nd July with the inclosed Copy of one dated 29 th August and the Certificate of Baptism have all been Rec d . Some time last April I sent you a Certificate of Mrs Mary Stevens of Saratoga proving the Marriage of Mr Catalyntje Burns to Ensign W m Green previous to the Revolutionary War. I wish you would inform me if you have Rec d any such Certificate. I mailed it at Balston Sp gs . provided you have, or may. Receive such a Certificate, will it be necessary to send you back the Record of Baptism, translated into English.
There appears to be some misunderstanding about the term of Ensign W m Green's service. Your wife found by examining the Secretary's Certificate that W m Green Rec d his appointment as Ensign June 22 nd 1778. and you states in your letter to me, dated May 9 th 1839. that W m Green an Ensign in Cap t H. Dunhams Company, appears to have served after 1779. four Months and seven days, and 15 days as a Lieutenant. If he was in the service previous to 1779. he must of course have served previous to 79. for he recd his commission in 78. and Mr James T. Brisbin in his Certificate, (in your possession) states, that W m Green served from and after the year 1777. in the Malitine, for about four years thereafter. and yet you say in your letter of the 29 th August 1839. of the Revolutionary Service of the Claimants husband only four months and twenty two days are established by the proof on file. which is not enough to entitle the Claimant to a pension under the Act.

I wis you would give me an answer to my letter as soon as convenient, and oblige your Friend. I remain with the utmost respect.

I Rec d your Letter of the 21 st inst. I Must confess I do not understand the meaning of it. according to your statement in your former Letter of July 23 d relative to further search on the rolls at Albany for additional service rendered by William Green which I have done, and sent you Certificate from the Comptroller of the State of New York. The Certificate is of course intended for proof of service rendered by William Green, for the which his widow Catelitzje Green is on file in your office as Claimant for a Pension. I wish to know if that found on record is not sufficient length of service to entitle the widow to her Pension. She is poor, and it has been attended with considerable expenses, but I am determined to persevere in her behalf, for there is no doubt but her claim is Just. I wish you to state what additional evidence you must have with what I have already given, to entitle her to a Pension have you not sufficient in your possession for that purpose. If the Comptroller's Certificate is

not as it should be. Send it back with information what to have added, and I will endeavour to have it done. I remain respectfully,

Dear Sir
I would respectfully refer You in the first place to the Letter from S. C. Roberts Esq r and in relation to the matter therein alluded to viz the application of Catalyni Green, Widow of W m Green, for a Pension, I herewith enclose You the depositions of the following viz Mrs Catalyni Green, Mrs Catharin Welch, Herman Van Veghten, Samuel Green, S. C. Roberts & James P. Brisbin, executed as I believe in due form, with the certificates of the Magistrates as to the general character of the deponants. I have had a personal interview with each and endeavoured to get the facts in as simple a form as possible. You will also perceive the enclosed certificate from the Comptroller's office relative to which I would beg leave to refer You to the services performed in 1777, also 1781 & 1782 as I perceive, in Your Letter of Sept 3 rd 1840 to S. C. Roberts You remark that (the transcript from the records produced shews no service except for the Year 1779 & 1780) You will discover by the Transcript now produced a full corroboration with the depositions as to actual services at as early and late dates as above alluded to.
You also add in Your Letter of Ap r 21 st 1841 to said Roberts that (the Certificate required is that the Comptroller should certify whether he has records of the company & Regiment, and what evidence they afford of his late husband's services) which You will readily perceive is herewith fully complied with. You further remark in Yours of July 23. 1840 to said Roberts that (the silence of the rolls as to any

further service than the H.M. & 22 Days, raises a presumption which can only be removed by very satisfactory proof.) upon that point You can not well fail to perceive it established beyond all reasonable doubts, at all events I can not resist the conviction that the proof afforded does fully establish at least two Years actual service, and in my opinion would satisfy any court & Jury in the country, and I have no doubt but the Department will readily arrive at the same conclusion thereby granting the old Lady what she is justly & equitably entitled to.

I Catharine Welsh of the Town of Hartford County of Washington & State of New York do hereby certify that I was born on the 5 th day of April in the Year one thousand seven hundred and sixty three as appears by the record in the family bible now in my possession - That when I was about Eleven Years old became a a member of the family of W m Green who then resided in the place which is now known as the Town & County of Saratoga & State of New York & that I am well acquaint- -ted with his widow Catalyni Green who now resides in the same county, have not seen her but once in about twenty Years last past, which once was about two or three Years since, that Green was not in the militia service when I first became a member of his family when I remained a member of his family about two Years. Then left the family for about one Year, at which time I was again become a member of the family, I then recollect of Green being first in the militia service, was a member of his family at different times until I was about twenty Years old, sometimes a Year or two at a time, after which time resided a neighbour until after the war closed, - during the war I knew Col Cornelius Van Veghten & Capt Herz-Kiel Dunham when I saw them & that W m Green was a member of Capt Dunham's company for several Years, and was was an Ensign under Capt Dunham, Green & Dunham was on the alert for

Tories. & took several Tories prisoners. was out frequently on Scouting Parties, recollect well that said Green was in the service very soon after the battle of Stillwater which I think was in the Year 1777. recollects of the enemy burning Jones Mills which was before the said battle of Stillwater. Then my parents lived about two miles from said Green's residence for ten or twelve Years in the place now known as the Town & County of Saratoga. I recollect that Capt Dunham & his officers (& that Green was then called Ensign) took a man by the name of Campfield prisoner & that Green was then out on service during that Year frequently sometimes but a day or two & sometimes longer. Campfield was executed near Schuylerville. I could have stated the above facts & circumstances at any previous time if I had been asked to do so. I can not recollect the circumstances of the war as well as I could a few Years since but have no doubts in my mind but said Green was out on service not less than two Years from the time he first entered the service until the close of the war in 1783 and I have therefore no hesitation in saying that the said Green was in actual service at least two Years from the beginning of the Year 1778 to the end of the Year 1783. I could have mentioned the Captain's under which Green served name at any time previous if I had been asked & perhaps many other circumstances. I am certain that Col. John Green now residing in the Town of Moreau. Saratoga

County. is the widow of William Green who served in the revolutionary war under Capt. Hoge, Col. Dunham in Saratoga Co. or that they lived together as man and wife there for ten or twelve years.

a person by the name of Samuel Bragg, who happened in our office & who we supposed was familiar with the business of obtaining Pensions - our object in addressing You at this moment is, that we have reason to suppose that he has gone direct to the Petitioner with a view of tendering his services (& perhaps representing as our agent) as authorized to attend to the matter as our Agent. Since the interview we had with him have become satisfied that no confidence can be placed in him (or at least we have none) and fearing that Mrs Green should be the sufferer should he succeed in obtaining authority from her before we can counteract the evil by getting information direct to her, or supposing he should have procured authority from her before we had occasion to suspect him, we therefore have thought by addressing You direct would at least stay his proceedings in case they should reach You before  until we could see her and have her revoke any authority he may have recd from her to the Department - You will therefore do her a favour by delaying until You hear from her directly through us - In conclusion, as we have no direct proof, You will have the kindness to withhold the purport of this letter in case our apprehensions should (as we hope they are) prove groundless -

Sir!
According to your instruction, I have examined the additional records at the Comptrollers Office of New York and have found nothing relative to Ensign Green's Services. I have however obtained a living evidence to the fact, as of his having served more than six months as an Ensign which fact you say was necessary for her to sustain the application. I herewith enclose you the Certificate of one that resided in the family at the time of his services. There can be no doubt of his having been engaged in the service nearly all the war, from what he has told me himself. You may find something satisfactory by looking over the papers in your possession. Of the Quarter Master Leonard he was often engaged in purchasing cattle for the Army and driving them into camp.

I subscribe myself, with the utmost respect.

This may certify that I James P. Brisbin of the Town and County of Saratoga and State of New York do hereby depose and say that I have been personally acquainted with William Green late of Moreau in this county from the Year one thousand seven hundred and seventy seven to until the time of his death, and that during the said Year 1777 the said Green was actively engaged in the militia service in said County and at the head of a small Scouting Party as Pilot and Guide. That I am in my seventy ninth Year of my age, that I knew said William to be a member of the Company Commanded by Capt Horatio Kirtland Dunham. That I knew Col John McCreagh, and Col Cornelius Van Vliet that I believe said Dunham served with said Green in the same regiment in said County. That in Oct 1777 said Green was in actual service as I was an eye witness to the fact that said Green was actively engaged and very efficient in apprehending the Tories and making prisoners. That I saw him take prisoners at times That said Green served in the same company with Lieut John Davis but that I will knew said Davis. That the said Wm Green in the Catalyni Green is the reputed widow of said Wm Green, that she now lives in this Saratoga County. That when I first knew said Green I was about fourteen Years of age. That said Green was in active service from and after the Year 1777 about four Years, that I could have made the above statements at any previous period if I had been asked to do so. That the said Green was in actual service from the Year 1777 to the Year 1781 at which I removed from the —

neighbourhood; and that the within named facts are true, — to the best of my knowledge and belief — — — — —
That said Green served in the same company with Lieut John Davis Esq. That I am firmly of the opinion that said Green's widow is justly and equitably entitled to a pension that if any person is entitled to a pension I think that he is or his widow, That I believe Mrs. Catalyni Green to be a woman of good moral character and that I have examined her certificate dated July first 1842 and believe all that she has there stated is true.
