In answer to your letter of the 22 a instant relative to the claim of Miss Mary Stubbard I have to state that I knew Henry Ostrander well. He was a resident of this town, and a pensioner as I believe under the act of 1818. His widow Patty Ostrander now receives a pension under the act July 4. 1836. Perhaps Mr Ostrander's papers are filed with hers. (See Clinton County New York Pensioners under law of 1818 for name of Henry Ostrander).
Yours respectfully

Sir:
In the declaration of the children of Ezekiel Stubbard they alleged that he enlisted at Huntington N.Y. , and served, and was imprisoned about 18 months. They say his services commenced in 1775 and that he was imprisoned three months in the New York Prison in 1777 and after his release he joined his reg't & served a year. They think he served two or three months in the New York Militia and have heard him mention the names of Col. Holmes, Capt. Rosekrans & Col. Dubois and they supposed he served under those officers, they reference a suggestion as to where proof of the above service or imprisonment can be obtained will much oblige the applicants. Perhaps a thorough examination of your records may corroborate the above service.
