War Pension # W19480 following pages transcribed by Thomas L Dunne (descendant) 1999 Salem (Wash Co., NY) Sept 1838 Sir Here with I send you the papers of Eunice Tyrel for pension under the act of 7 July 1838 your early attention to the matter will be a favor. The leaf from the family Bible being already loose I thought it as well to give you the original the writing on which is not very legible, but as I decipher it is as follows Holy Bible the property of Sam Debt of David Long Juice four Dollars Born on the 22nd day of Feburary in the year of our Lord 1758 and was married on the 22nd day of January 1782 Consort was Born on the 6 day of April 1762 first Child Rachel was born May the 14th 1784 2nd child Rebecca was born June 1st 1786 3rd child Ezra was born July 16th 1788 4th child Samuel was born July 17th 1790 The difficulty in accurately deciphering the writing is one reason for attaching the original The residue of the name after Sam appearing to have been torn off the first line is also another reason If any thing further is to be done, please advise me as soon as possible Respectfully Yours Narinus Fairchild James L Edwards Esquire Companion of Persons
