Asenath Harvey's claim
Dear Sir
The Certificate of the Comptroller of Connecticut does show that Capt. Israel Filler was in the service in 1781 and that Robert Harvey was a soldier under him as appears from my abstract of the Comptroller's Report which I sent to the Department -
I know of no additional proof that can now be procured of her marriage. The fact of her marriage I supposed was fully made out & proved - and the Department has the evidence that there is no record evidence of the fact - I have not preserved the evidence of her marriage and do not now recollect what it is but I supposed at the time that it was ample and it now seems to me that an examination it will appear so - She has a score or less of children who I can give oyer of if necessary but I don't believe that any of them are over forty and as they were all born in Litchfield Medlock their testimony cannot aid us much in this matter.
Col. D. Graves whose affidavit I sent yesterday shows the impossibility of procuring any evidence from the minister who married them and I hope this will satisfy the Department.
