Abstract:
Concerning Revolutionary War veteran James Fosdick’s pension roll. Seymour had directed the valuation of Fosdick’s property be taken by the Probate Court judge, hoping to avoid delays in waiting for the County Court to convene and missing the current session of Congress. Unable to obtain the opinion of the 1820 County Court concerning Fosdick’s property values, unless done by individual affidavits due to changes in judges. The property in question has been reduced in value due to "the general fall in the value of real estate & the deterioration of this particular property by a violent storm." Relates local opinions about Fosdick, with people believing he ought to receive his pension.
