Dear Sir
I inclose you herewith the
Power of attorney of Mrs Berry, widow of James Berry
deceased, late a pensioner of the United States.
Her identity has been satisfactorily proved,
and certified, but the certificate of the Clerk
seems to be some what informal. That is however
an omission, which I hope it will be in your
power to waiver without the delay of sending it 
back to Russell. The certificate itself is in proper
form I believe, but to the first, the church has
omitted to sign his name at the foot, although
it appears in the body of the certificate in what
I know to be his own hand writing; his
name is also signed to the further certificate
as to the signature and official character
of the justice, before whom the power was
Page 8


acknowledged.

If this objection, can be waived with
propriety, and I think it may, or I would not
have asked that it should be you will oblige
me by instructing the agent at Richmond
accordingly, and returning the power to me
that I may forward it to Wm. Mitchell

Very Respectfully
I am yours

in the 10th Regiment of the Pennsylvania line, commanded
by Colo Richard Butler and Capt

five years he was on the battle of Germanton at
the battle of Brandywine & James Town that hen that he
went from for thence to Little York and was at the
taking of Cornwallis: that he was discharged by
Capt /////// at Philadelphia having served in
the  whole seven years. He also declared that he is
in indigent circumstances

It appear to the satisfaction of the Court that
the said James Berry a person of good credit and
a witness, and that he served in the revolutionary war
against the common enemy.  And it was also
satisfactorily proven to the Court that the said James
Berry according to the report of his neighbours previous

Page 18


as a soldier in the revolutionary war.  All which
is ordered to be certified to the Secretary to the

At a Court hold for the said County of

made a declaration and oath for the purpose of obtaining
the previous allowed by the act of Congress of the 18th
of March 1818, and in addition thereto declared on
his oath, that he enlisted in the Pennsylvania
line on Continental Establishment as stated in his
first declaration some ///// in the month of March

Rev. and 1812
Wars Section.

Mrs. Foster W. Walker
601 Shaw Ave
McKeesport, Pa.

Madam:
I have to advise you that the Revolutionary War
records of this Bureau fail to afford any
information in regard to a James Berry, who was
pensioned in 1819, while a resident of Russell
County, Ohio, in fact there is no soldier named
James Berry, who was pensioned for his services
in the War of the Revolution, while a resident of
Ohio.

One James Berry (S. 37756), who served in the
Pennsylvania Troops, War of the Revolution, was pensioned
in 1818, while a resident of Russell County,
Virginia.

Respectfully,

WINFIELD SCOTT
Commissioner.
