Mr J.E. Heath Conn
Sir
I am in the receipt of the
Certificate in the case of Timothy & Phebe Barnard giving income increase of pension from $100 to $175.16 for service as
Conductor & Company of Military Stones, and surprised to find that so large a portion of the Record evidence has been related. I therefore respectfully by a review of the Records for Timothy Barnard  in his declaration under act 1832, sets forth from  14 months service in the above capacities & says he went with the much Army in 1781, & retired in 1783
The history of the Revolution corroborates these
viz: when the  ???????  South & when it
returned North. In the fact of his service recently found in the Wadworth Books, in a settlement by J G Mifflin, on the 3 April 1782, he is charged with Cash $77. advanced to purchase ????
On the 30 of April is a settlement & various bill passed to his credit, amongst which is his pay Roll for St Legrand for April (12, 15) & his own expense as Conductor" for Garrison and on the 1st day his wages advanced to him (66), also on 11 May, an additional amount (100) advanced, & on
the 30th May his acct is balanced
the restored,
Page 47

credit in his favor, is June 1783, which his wages by from Decr 182 to May 20th 1783. appears
Now it is very obvious why the credits will
are not made to him, as the payments were made in advance to cover the period between May 1782
Decr 1782,
But in July 1782, we find him in the "Artillery & Wagon Department issuing proveision so to 52 men & Baltimore, or
the very time the Army were according to him was in Baltimore on his way South, hence it is very clear, according all the modes of ?????? 
length of time of service by amount of payments made that he was in service all the time from April 30 1782, to 20th May 1783.
I therefore respectfully request a review of the of the Records & ask the additional allowance of 8 months which the Record showers, do conclusively show.
Respectfully

to the first application, that proof of the marriage was
necessary, that is now sent, and also that the declaration ought to be made before a Court of Record, with
this requisition she is unable to comply, being as her
own declaration and the afft of her Physician that she
too infirm and unwell to do so-
I hope these papers will be found sufficient
and that she will as soon as her case is reached receive

her pension. If any thing use is necessary
