William Tindall-W.6288

The Reverend William J. Ganmon
315 North High Street
Jackson, Missouri

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of a soldier with surname Tyndall, who served from New York state and lived in Pennsylvania.
There is no claim for pension on file based upon the service of a soldier with surname Tyndall, or other spelling, who served in the New York troops. The record has been found of only soldier with that surname who applied for a pension while a resident of Pennsylvania; it is that of William. His record is given herein as found in pension claim, W.6288, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
William Tindall was born in Hightown, New Jersey. The date of his birth and the names of his parents are not shown.
William Tindall enlisted in Salem County, New Jersey, in December 1775, served as a private in Captain Anthony Sharp's Company, Colonel Elias Dayton's 3" New Jersey Regiment, and was discharged in February, 1777, or early in the spring of that year; he re-enlisted May 19, 1778, served nine months in Captain Joseph Anderson's Company, in same regiment, and was in the battle of Monmouth. He stated that he was also in the battles of Elizabethtown, New Jersy, and at Johnstown on the Mohawk River with the Indians: dates and names of officers for this last service are not given.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 27, 1818, at which time he was aged seventy-one years and resided in Beaver County, Pennsylvania. [written in margin: Found sol in Cont Serv in A J book found both Capt m 3"of J.]
He died January 14, 1838, place not shown. [written in margin: she gives 1837 also but as our records show 1838 used that only]
The soldier married in September 1783, in Gloucester County, New Jersey, Elizabeth, maiden name not stated.
Page 18

Elizabeth, widow of William Tindall, was allowed pension on her application executed June 25, 1839. Her application was made in Beaver County, Pennsylvania. In 1843, she was residing in Chenango Township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and then gave her age as eighty-five years; in 1849, she gave it as ninety-three years; in 1850, she was living in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania.
The widow stated that she and her husband had six children. She did not give the names of her children but the following are the dates of birth:
First child born June 10, 1786.
Second child born May 9, 1788.
Third child born January 1, 1791.
Fourth child born August 22, 1795.
Fifth child born June 9, 1798.
Sixth child born February 11, 1802.
The youngest son is referred to but his name is not given.
In 1820, the soldier stated that his granddaughter, aged six years resided with him and his wife, but he did not give her name or the names of her parents.
It was stated that soldier's brother, Richard Tindall, served with him. There is no claim for pension on file based upon the services of a Richard Tindall or Tyndall in the Revolutionary War.
There are no further family data.

Tindall is a poor crippled old man and that berren [barren] spot is a kind of home for him he does not [illegible] his head of it it could not be done unless by something like Chinese cultivation I have no hesitation in giving my candid opinion that no applicant is more in need [two illegible words to end of page]

Sir
In reply to your letter of the 3rd inst. respecting the application of Elizabeth Tindall widow of W, Tindall deceased, say, you are requested to issue certificates for the increased rate of pension proposed in your letter & for the act of 2nd February 1848.
We would also say that we have been impressed with the belief that, the back pension due to William Tindall under the act of 7th June 1832 had never been drawn. It will be remembered that he was dropped from the roll in 1820 and it does not appear to us that he was ever again pensioned. That his death occurred in 1837. An application for this amount we may possibly have omitted to included, in [illegible] Tindalls application, if so, it was done in mistake.
We would very respectfully call your attention to the fact refered [referred] to.

In reply to your letter of December 13th objecting to the increasing of Elizabeth Tindal pensions to 96$ being what her husband drew per annum say that some oversight occured in her application for increase -- and should have been brought under the act of July 1"1848 instead of 29" July 1848.
Be pleased to reconsider this application and issue her pension certificate under the former act--
I would as a favor ask that her case may be considered without delay as the time for drawing her pension is near at hand--

Hon. Sir
In your letter of Nov 3rd speaking of the case of Mrs. Elizabeth Tindall widow of William Tindall you say "An additional allowance for ten months service may be granted in this case," and "If claimant will accept this amount, certificates at the increased rate will be issued to her under the act which she has already been pensioned, and also under the act of 2nd February 1848."
In one of my letters sent about six weeks ago, I signified to you the desires of the claimant to accept of your proposition.
Not having received the certificates referred to, and from the anxiety of the claimant to receive her pension, I write you again saying that Mrs. Tindall elects to accept of your proposition, above referred to.
I am Sir Your Humble and

Hon. J. L. Edwards
Dear Sir,
In the case of the application of Elizabeth Tindle for a pension who is the widow of William Tindle, you aledge [allege] the proof of her husbands service is not sufficient for one year, three months of the time requires additional proof. 
And also that the marriage is not sufficiently proven, that the Certificate of Judge Nesbit is not sufficiently explicit as to his knowledge of the character of Mrs. Brown the witness to establish the marriage to have been prior to 1794.
As to the first objection let the three months go I do not believe additional proof can be had to establish that fact. But I cannot assent to the latter. I know Judge Nesbit to [too] well to believe he could make a common form Certificate [illegible] a knowledge of the character of Mrs. Brown. Moreover Mrs. Brown lives but a few miles from Judge Nesbit and I have no doubt he has a perfect knowledge of the family.
I have known the Brown family for more than thirty years. I have a batch of near relatives who live in the immediate neighbourhood [neighborhood] with Mr. & Mrs. Brown who I very frequently visit
Page 52

and have for more than thirty years, and I always heard them speak respectfully of the character of the Brown family.
My belief therefore is that Mrs. Brown sustains a good character for truth. I hope this poor old widows claim for this small pittance of pension, will help, of which I believe she is in very great need.
I have the honor to be
your obt. servt [obedient servant]

That the said William Tindall enlisted in the fall of the year 1775 in Anthony Sharps company in the 3rd Jersey Regiment Commanded by Colonel Elias Dayton in the Jersey line, that he continued to serve untill until] the latter part of the winter or spring of 1777 when he was discharged from said service by Col.

Sir
Herewith I send you the declaration of Elizabeth Tindall for a renewal of her pension under the act of February 2nd 1848 & for the back pay not drawn by her in accordance with some of the [illegible] prior thereto. Also find enclosed a certified copy of the declaration of her husband Wm Tindall made for a pension under the act of March 18th 1818 & 1st May 1820, & a certificate of his service from the Sec of New Jersey.
It is urged on behalf of the widow that the alledged [alleged] service stated to have been performed by her husband, entitles her to a full pension. A vigorous search has been made for record proof of the first period of Mr Tindalls service, but the records of the troops raised in N. J. in the early part of the war are so imperfect, that the desired proof cannot be found among the records of said State.
From the best information I have been able to gather it appears that Mrs Tindall has received the benefit of the act of 17 June 1844 only.
Page 60

& her declaration has been made out in accordance with the facts before me.
Whether she has received the benefit of any previous act is more particularly within your knowledge, and the facts as they appear on the records will govern her application.
I am very Repectfully

This is to certify that I am intimately acquainted with William Tindall a Soldier of the Revolution having lived joining lands with him for more than thirty years. I have always found him, and believe him still to be, an upright, honest man. He has always in my knowledge been in low circumstances, and altho [although] he has been industrious according to his age and ability yet he could not afford himself the consequences and comforts of life which his age and infirmities require.
I believe he has not transferred any property of value to any of his children within the last twenty years except a yoke of oxen and a mare to his youngest for when he was married, both of which went under his name before he was married he having taken care of them while [illegible] -- and indeed he had nothing else with which he could have farmed the little place for the support of himself and parents, which he has ever since done -- he has been married about eleven years. I believe the above transfer was an honest transaction and that said William Tindall did not and would not do such an act fraudulently or with a view to obtain the benefits of the Common Law. Witness my hand this day & year above written. Charles Morrow 
I fully concur in the above statement. John Morrow

Honrbl. [Honorable] John Gilmore
On rect. of yours of the [illegible & unclear what is intended] I called on the persons who signed the foregoing Certificates and interrogated them on the subjects unknown to them, without the knowledge or collusion of Mr. Tindall or any one connected with him. Full reliance may be placed on their veracity.
Next I called on said Tindall and without telling him know the situation of the [illegible] in relation to his pension I enquired if he knew how much property would exclude any one from the benefits of the Pension Law. He answered he never did. Ques. [Question] How often have you made a return of your property? Ans. [Answer] Twice. Ques. Was there any difference in the amt. of those returns And was the last the smallest? Ques. What made the difference. And I [illegible] and killed three steers one for our own use and two to sell to pay debts [illegible] while I lay with my broken thigh & to get wedding clothes for my son's marriage. And when he was married I gave him one milk cow, a small yoke of oxen and a mare that was called his, he having taken care of and broke him for use. I gave him also [illegible] and some farming utensils. Ques. Why did you give him all this? Ans. He had stuck by one two year that I could not work on account of my broken thigh and rheumatism and by that means saved our little place from being sold. He was our youngest son, and all we had to depend on to farm, and support us in time to come. I thought I owed it to him and without it he could not have stayed or farmed. Did you expect too that by this means you would be restored your pension?
Page 64

And I did not -- I was advised to put away my property when I first applied as some had done & succeeded; but I always refused saying I would never make a beggar and a rascal of myself for sake of a pension.
Quest. Would you if [illegible] had qualified to all this.
Ans. I would.---
I have given you as nearly as I can the words of our conversation and from my knowledge of the man whose honesty and uprightness I never heard questioned [illegible] have no doubt but the statement was honestly and truly made.
I have been acquainted with William Tindall the applicant for more than thirty years; but during a part of that time and when the occurrence related by him took place, I resided in Washington County, and could therefore say nothing from [illegible to end of line] conversed with other neighbors who knew the circumstances and on whom I can rely, & they [illegible] confirm all his statements. If testimony as to the facts stated be required, it will be promptly furnished.
Quest. If satisfactory evidence be furnished that he was a fit subject for a continuance of pension under the Law of 1820 will he not draw from the date of his suspension -- and early answer is respectfully solicited -- One fact  with regard to the narrowness of his circumstances -- I know that for several years past, he has rode without a saddle -- his circumstances not permiting [permitting] him to buy one -- his son here is in the same condition and indeed all his children are poor-
I am very respectfully
Yours & [signature illegible; perhaps Gotlieb?]
Page 65

I am formally acquainted with Dr. J. Polluk the [illegible] of the within letter I believe he is a man of integrity and that full confidence may be placed in the [illegible] statement. I believe Wm Tindall may be returned to the Pension List.
