Hello,
On a guess, I ordered the Pension Records for a Cornelius Van Deusen, who enlisted from Hudson, NY. to fight in the War of 1812. I received the records for Cornelius other than who I was looking for.
Some information on this Cornelius:
Died February 1813, while in the Army in Greenbush, Rensselaer County, NY
He and Asenath were married prior to his enlistment, no date given.
They had two children, Rachel who died at the age of 2 and Mathew, who died in 1834. (Asenath was not great with exact dates and in some instances, any dates at all).
He had a brother named, Mathew, who attested for the information that Asenath was giving the courts.
This request was made circa 1858-1860, Asenath was about 66 years old and now the widow of Charles Post. She was receiving $3.50 per month and they increased the amount to $4.00 on Cornelius service.
As she was receiving a monthly stipend, it would appear there must have been an earlier request that offered more information.
If anyone is interested please let me know.
