      In the matter of the application of Elizabeth Huber for a pension as the widow of Henry Huber late of the Town of Little Falls deceased

      Herkimer County Ls George Rosencrantz of the town of Little Falls, County of Herkimer and State of New York being duly sworn saith that he is seventy years of age and upwards, and that his father was the Rev. Abraham Rosencrantz the minister of the Reformed protestant Dutch Church in the German Flats in the now county of Herkimer from the anchist revolution of deponent previous to the Revolutionary War & during that war & long afterwards until his death - that a short time since Peter Huber of the county of Jefferson a son of old Captain Henry Huber called upon this deponent to search the records kept by this deponents father of marriages where the ceremony was perfomed by him & alledged that his mother stated that she was married to said Henry Huber by deponents father. This deponent saith he searched the only book of records in deponents posesion of his fathers record of marriages & could not find the marriage of said Henry Huber and in fact no record of marriages going so far back in date as the widow of said Henry Huber alledges they were married, and deponent saith that said Peter also searched said book of records & which book deponent states is the only book of records of baptisms and marriages or letters extant and that when his father died about the year 1796 all his books & papers extant were left in the care and posesion of this deponent. This deponent saith that on Saturday the second of December instant he was looking over some papers which he supposed useless in an old chest of drawers and that

      Page 4:
      in looking them over he came across a half sheet, or leaf, of paper in his said fathers hand writing and on which he found the record of marriages commencing with the 15th day of February 1774 and ending the first day of November of the same year, on which half sheet or leaf of a book is the record of the marriage of said Henry Huber in the record spelled in the German Henrich Huber to Elizabeth Frank on the 27th M
      This Pension record contains several pages [59 in all] each of which are transcribed in their entirety (see Detail Text tab) :
      *There are many more pages contained in the original NARA file folder than I received when ordering the information from NARA back in 2004. Upon going to Footnote.com and checking their collections, I found the same Pension No. W23,355 which contained 59 pages, not 26 as originally thought. I include all 59 images from Footnote.com (Oct. 2007, greyscale) and the images I received from NARA (2004, black and white).
