The claimant’s statement is not supported by that of others engaged \n in the Militia service at the period referred to. \n Pay rolls of all the companies in Colonel Vroman’s (1) regiment exhibiting a true \n account of service rendered were made out at the close of the war. The original or \n copies (2) of them may be found either at Albany or with the representatives of Colonel \n Vroman; evidence of this description is very important & should if practicable be \n furnished. \n Hon. J. Adams, Catskill, N.Y.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.090835,"width":0.7650800000000001,"height":0.260188}},{"text":"Assembly Room, Albany, N. Y. February 7th 1851 \n Mr. Wm.
