Dear Sir,
I herewith transmit to you an
application for a pension from Mrs. Barbara
Baughman the widow of George Baughman
dec'd, who is said to have been a pensioner
at the time of his death.

W. Wm B. Backus, who made out Mrs.
Baughman's papers writes me, that the family have no
family record of their marriage. Nor are
there any old persons in their neighborhood
by whom she could prove her marriage.

I am personally acquainted with
Samuel Baughman, whose affidavit
accompanies his Mother's declaration
and I have no hesitation in saying that
I would take his statement, on a matter
of fact, as soon as any person I am acquainted
with.
Will you have the goodness to
let me know the result you may come to in
the premises at your earliest convenience.

I am very respectfully

Columbus March 23d 1848

Dear Sir
I was absent when your favor of the 18th arrived
There are three old Ladies according to my construction of the Laws entitled to pensions
Mrs Dorothy Mead widow of Stephen Mead of Licking Co. As near as I recollect the objection was that her marriage was not sufficiently proved, or the day of marriage 
We think that the proof is abundant you can see by the papers what proof has been made - And if there were any objections they are owed by the Law Approved May 7 1846 Chapter 13 page 10 - Section 2 of the Laws passed 1st Session 29th Cong's
The 2d case is Mrs Abigail Williams widow of Hial Williams of Licking Co.
The same objection to hers as to Mrs Mead I am confident that there is no soundness to the objections of either, And I have no doubt of their right to a pension.
The other is Mrs Barbara Baughman widow of George Baughman of Franklin Co. The marriage in this case was admitted but the Pension Department required more proof of the Service of the husband, besides what was required when a pension was granted to the husband We furnished such as we could. We wish the committee to look at the proof of services by the husband The husbands of each were pensioners
We wish the claims pressed forward, please confer with Senator Corwin and others

Dear Sirs;

George Baughman, who applied for a pension for Revolutionary
Service from Mifflin Township, Franklin County, Ohio, is one of my
Revolutionary ancestors. I should like very much to have whatever you
may have in regard to this pension application. He died in Franklin
County. It seems to be a question as to whether there were two George
Baughmans who were Revolutionary Soldiers. here at the same time.
His death was about 1834. If there are records of the two George 
Baughman's may I have both?

After the death of George Baughman, his widow Barbara Steele
Baughman applied and I believe received a pension. May I have this 
record also. We are very anxious for what information you may give us a
as we wish to place a Revolutionary marker on it.

Sincerely thanking you for whatever material you may 
be able to give me, I remain respectfully,

Ohio.

The names of the following children of George and Barbara
Baughman are shown: Samuel, Henry, Johannah, George, Elizabeth,
Amalie and Susana.  In 1844, son George Baughman was residing
in Plain Township, Franklin County, Ohio. 
[The translation of the German family data was so mixed & apparently so 
erronious [sic] that I did not use dates
only names of children]

In 1832, Henry Baughman, a bother of the soldier was living
in Canton, Ohio.

The soldier stated that his first cousin, George Baughman,
served with him in Captain Wagoner's Company in the Revolutionary
War. There are no further data in regard to this George Baughman.

In order to obtain the data of last payment of pension, the
name and address of person paid and possibly the date of the death of
the Revolutionary War pensioner, Barbara Baughman, widow of George
Baughman[W.4632], you should address the Comptroller General, General
Accounting Office, Records Division, this city and cite the
following data:

Barbara Baughman, widow of George Baughman, Certificate No.
2278, issued December 6, 1848, rate $30 per annum, commenced March
4, 1848. Act of February 2, 1848, Ohio[Cincinnati] Agency.

Madam:
     I advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 4632, it appears that George Baughman or Bachman was born October 14, 1755 or 1756 in Upper Saucon Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, 
     While a resident of Upper Saucon Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania he enlisted in 1776 and served three months as a private in Captain John Robert’s Company, Colonal Kieger’s Pennsylvania Regiment.
     He enlisted in the summer of 1777 and served three months as a private in Captain Shores Pennsylvania Company.

     Solder married in June 1781, Barbara, her maiden name not given.  She was allowed pension on her application executed September 6, 1844 while a resident of Mifflin Township, Franklin County, Ohio, aged eighty-two years.
     Their children were: Samuel, Henry, Johanneh, George, Elizabeth, Amalie and Susana.
     The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to John Wilson and Benjamine Albro as described by you, or William Rittenhouse and Stephen Albro, or George Buchman.  This is the history of th only soldier with similar spelling of name, found on said records.
     Due to the very large number of requests similar to yours an the lack of a clerical force available for the purpose, the bureau is unable to make prompt reply to each inquiry relative to soldiers of the Revolution
Respectfully,
EARL D. CHURCH,
Commissioner.
