Dear Sir

I am desirous of establishing the identify of Isaac Stuwart as a private in the continental army from Charles County, MD. I have the record from a reliable genealogist: "Is on old Maryland Pension Roll there is an item to the effect that Isaac Stewart private in the Md Militia of Charles County was given a pension beginning with March 4, 1831, his age being given then as 79.
Page 13

It would seem that he must have rendered service to the Revolution. Have you any such record in the pension office. If so, is there record of his birth and death? Is there a record to whom his pension was paid after his death? I was told at the Adjutant General's Office to apply for this information by letter to the Commissioner of Pensions.

May I ask for any information in the possession of your office? Once more, the name is Isaac Stewart private in the Continental Army from Charles County Md.

Very respectfully
(Mrs.) Rosa M Padgett

To the Hon Comm of Pensions

Sir

Will you inform me whether the children of deceased revolutionary soldier are entitled to receive a pension.

My father was in the revolutionary war and at his death was in receipt of a pension. I was then three years of age. Did the pension cease at this death? If not has it been paid to anyone?  His name was Isaac Stewart of
Page 16

Cherry Grove Charles Co Maryland. Died in 1832. The enclosed newspaper cutting has caused us to write this letter knowing no soldier of the revolution could be living.

Yours very Respectfully

The Senate

Washington, D.C.., April 6 - A bill authorizing the sale to aliens of certain mineral lands was taken from the calendar and read. Platt asked what would be left of the original law prohibiting the acquisition of real estate by aliens if the bill was passed. Stewart said the original law was intended to prevent the monopoly of the agricultural lands by foreigners and was not intended to apply to mining or mines. The consideration of the bill was postponed until Monday.

The senate passed private pension bills granting $25 to Dr. Mary Walker, late assistant surgeon of the United States army; $600 a year to the widow of General Charles P Sonte (to increase the pension of the oldest revolutionary pensioner on the rolls, Mandy Raines, 96 years of age, from $8 to an amount to be fixed by the secretary of the Interior. Bills were also passed pensioning the widow of Rear admiral Nicholson the widow of General Kilpatrick, the widow of General Commander Wm. Gibson, the widow of Medical Inspector Denby of the navy. Altogether 127 bills were passed, 65 being house bills. The pleuro-pneumonia bill was amended so as to include the diseases tuberculosis and glanders and was made the special order for Thursday next. The bill for the admission of Dakota and for the organization of the territory of Lincoln took their places. This finished the business of the week and the senate adjourned until Monday.
