35 He hanged also Nicanor's head upon the tower, an evident and manifest sign unto all of the help of the Lord.
36 And they ordained all with a common decree, in no case to let that day pass without solemnity, but to celebrate the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which in the Syrian tongue is called Adar, the day before Mardocheus' day.
37 Thus went it with Nicanor: and from that time forth the Hebrews had the city in their power. And here will I make an end.

I, now send You an Affidavit and certificate. The Affidavit as You will see was made by John F. Milhollin and Step Roberts. John F. Milhollin has been acquainted with Alexander C. Gunn for ten or fifteen Years., The testimony given in explanation of the different Inks being used in writing the Family Records of Alexander Gunn deceased, is not doubted by any person acquainted with Alexander C. Gunn.
And had not the Records been required by the Commissioner Parrott Testimony of all of the contents of said Records, could have been obtained from Old Mrs. M c Leod and his lady who had known Alexander Gunn and his wife and family up to about the Period of his death, but they both died in this County in 1855, and I do not know of any other Parrott Testimony

Sir, Enclosed is a letter from Mr. Query one of the firm of Query & Walker upon which I have carefully ex d the papers of Betsy Oak Gibson, d ce widow of Alexander A. Gibson, Act g 7 th July 1838. Geo. The difficulty or objection to the allowance of this case seems to be proof of marriage. Suspicion has been thrown over the date of that event by the writing or entry made upon the leaf cut from the Bible made by one of the children, a son who sets up this claim. His affidavit I have ex d and his signature being compared with the entry, I am sure I think agree is identical and I will rule any such objection and upon a reexamination of the papers filed in the case, allow the case, the service to definitely being established.

I have the honor to be Sir very respectfully Thos. D. Rusk

Dear Sir
I now send You the leaf from the Old Family Bible of Alexander Gunn deceased. Upon which the Record of the Family was kept. On one side of the leaf You will find the births of the children or some of them at least. On the other side You will see the Marriage and death of the Widow of the deceased (Betsy Oak Gunn). We send You this leaf according to a requisition made by Your predecessor L. P. Waldo, as he informed us to send the leaf upon which the record was made if any such existed before a Certificate could issue for the pension due the Heir in right of the Widow. You will find all the papers on file in relation to this claim together with the Comptroller's Certificate of his services and also Parole evidence of the services of said Alexander Gunn. I am requested by the present claimant Alexander G. Gunn to ask for the return of the old leaf herein sent as he wishes to retain it as a sacred relic his name does not appear on this leaf and we deemed it not necessary to send it or any more of the Records as the Marriage and death is all that is required by the pension over

laws. We therefore hope You will examine the record and return the old leaf, so that we can replace it again with Mr. Gunn's. Should it be consistent with the rules of Your Office.
Please let us hear from You in relation to this claim as early as practicable. We are very respectfully Your Obedient Servants Dury Walker.

We now send the Affidavits of John F. Mitchell and Miss Roberts in order to show you the credibility of the statements made by Alexander C. Gurn in relation to the family records on which you say suspicion rests. We are informed by How John H. Lumpkin that you say H. H. Walker my co-partner admitted that he made or altered the writing of said records. Now permit me to tell you that H. H. Walker never saw that record. Much less could he have altered it and I cannot conjecture what caused him to make such an admission, for I wrote to A. C. Gurn for him, if there was such a record to send it to me; which he done. I received it in a letter and I. M. R. Dury sent it on to the Pension Office. Walker never saw it. Very Respectfully Yours Hon. J.

Dear Sir
In reply to Your answer to the Claim of the Children of Bedyrate Gunn, We have to say that we are compelled to believe That the proof of Identification produced in support of their claim, is sufficient, William M c Leod a Soldier and pensioner of undoubted good character for truth, has testified on Oath That he was acquainted with said Alexander Gunn while in actual service for the term of four months, and that he the said Alexan- -der Gunn had been in the service, prior to the period of William M c Leod's service. And You will see by reference to the Affidavit alluded to, that the said Alexander Gunn was the only man of that name who served from Salisbury Military District, You also see from the Comptroller's Certificate that the payments mentioned therein was made to Alexander Gunn of Salisbury District. The Comptroller informs us, that there is but one man of that name found on the records of his Office. And M c Leod has made oath that he never knew but one man of that name in that Military Dist.

and the said William M. Lord, has lived in that District, until about the last 20 years, and he has been a man always of general information.
By examination of former rules and decisions of the pension Office. We learn that testimony, that would be available in a common court of justice, would also be sufficient in the adjustment of a pension claim. We would again call your attention to the Comptroller's Certificate. In that you will find a succession of dates showing that the payments mentioned therein were all made to the same person, and it is so believed by the Comptroller of N.C. The Indent or Army Certificate issued by the Auditor of Salisbury District, N o 9295. Sept. 1783, we consider as much proved or identified as the two latter payments. But circumstances and historical events ought to have some bearing in this case, William M. Lord and Alexander Gann were both in the Battle of Cutton Springs and also at the Battle of Guilford, therefore inasmuch as and Gann had been in the service of the United States a considerable time before said M. Lord entered the service, and served at the same period, and then subsequently, he must be entitled,

M c Leod informs us that Cunn g served a subsequent term to his own services, and that Cunn g understood according to his understanding, more services than he did him- self. (and he was pensioned.) There may how- ever be some doubts as to the Comptroller show- ing part of the payments being made for Continental Service. (Now in regard to that point we will say that the children who now claim did not know that M c Alexander Cunn g served as Militia Soldier, but they sup- posed he was a Militia Soldier, he only informed them in his life time that he served in the war before mentioned. But they do not now rec- ollect whether he informed them at all in what capacity he served.)

I wrote
You a letter some time since to your address and have received no answer from you as yet. from what cause I know not.
And I now say to You that we have a suspended claim filed in the Pension Office. Made by Alexander C. Cunn (Now of Georgia but formerly of North Carolina) Son & Heir of Alexander and Bedy Oak Cunn deceased. As You are under promise to examine to and assist us with our suspended claims at 10 per cent we wish you to examine the proofs filed in the claim above referred to, and aid us getting it passed. I am under the impression that there is almost if not quite sufficient proof now filed in the pension office to pass the claim. To which your attention is called.
I hope this matter will meet your prompt attention and when you have examined the proofs on file, let me hear from you immediately what you think of the testimony.
Very Respectfully Yours Obedient Servant
