After gazing a while at the house in which they were said to have been married, the groom & some of the guests came out & stood on the yard stoop when the groom was pointed out to me. I became acquainted with him then & have been acquainted with him ever since until the day of his death which occurred about forty years ago, when he was engaged in navigating a heavy boat load of wheat from the Westward near Schoharie creek in company with one Kennedy Ferrill & one Michael Bradt shown all drowned. I know that said William & Annatie always lived together as husband & wife & raised a family of children - and the said Annatie has never since the death of her husband again remarried & is still unmarried. She has resided in my family a great deal & has always been respected in the first families in this city. I have examined the Gageon's papers in the matter of her application for a pension & am satisfied as to the truth of the statements therein given, yet cannot from my own personal knowledge give any testimony relative to the military services of said William Hall.

In the matter of the application of Annatic Hall widow of William Hall late a private in the Army of the Revolution for a Pension under the act of 4 th July 1836
J. L. Edwards Esq. Commissioner of Pensions
Sir
Since the receipt of your letter of the 29 th June last in the above matter I have endeavored to procure the additional testimony you require. I called on William Carr of Albany who said he remembered there was a person by the name of Hall who served with him in the northern campaign of 1775, but he could not remember his Christian name. He expressed a wish to see Mr John Hagenborn whom you also referred me to, and on conversation with him he

thought he might perhaps recall to mind a more distinct recollection of the person and services of William Hatt . I went to Saus- burgh where you thought Hagiborne lived, but he was not there. The family with whom he had lived at that place said he had left Sausburgh sometime previous and had gone they knew not where. I in- tended to have brought Hagiborne and Carr together if possible when Hagiborne came to the office of the Pension agent at Albany to draw his pay and in order to effect some such arrangement I called on the Pension Agent at Albany who informed me Mr Hagiborne's name had been struck off the Pension roll & he therefore would not be expected at Albany. I also called upon Judge Davis of New York who had prepared Mr Hagiborne's last Pension papers but he could not tell what had become of him. I have deemed it my duty to be thus particular in stating my searches for Mr Hagiborne for the reason that you desired me to testimony be on for information in the above matter.

If therefore you deem the evidence of Mr Hall having served in the Campaign in question to be insufficient, please consider whether there is not sufficient evidence of services in absence of this to entitle his widow to more than half pay.
Since the original application was made I have succeeded in obtaining the following additional testimony which you will perceive herewith. The discrepancy as to Hall's serving in Mc Gill's Company I believe was explained in my last communication in this case.
From the Payroll marked F. e. of Capt. Jellis & Fonda it appears that William Hall served from 26: Oct to 2: Nov 1781 = 8 days. From engagement F. - Joseph Puts Company that Hall served from 6: May 1779 for 12 mo. Jas. Wm. Vock testifies that Hall served in Nov. 1781 under Col. Willett a time of 10 days. Though this service may be the same referred to in the roll of Capt. Fonda as above stated. Christopher Ward testifies that Hall served three months and one day in the fall of 1780 = Making in all a term of 15 mo. 19 days service exclusive of the Campaign to Quebec -

But that since the time above referred to, she has called to mind & is well satisfied that said William Hall served at least one year if not longer in the Company of Rangers commanded by Captain John A.
