Dear Father:

I am advised that in the Pension Office at Washington there are kept the original applications for pensions made by soldiers of the Revolutionary War and of the War of 1812, that these applications contain very full data on the respective families of the applicants, and that these records are open to the public.

Can you obtain for me copies of the applications for pensions made by the following:

George Hill: Hampshire County, Virginia, served as a Private in the 3rd Regiment of Virginia Dragoons. Pension commenced February 25, 1813. Increased under law of 1816. Transferred to Ohio. 

George Hill: Ross County, Ohio, 3rd Regiment of Dragoons. Transferred from Virginia to Ohio, September 4, 1820. Later transferred to Pickaway County, Ohio.

John Brown: Ross County, Ohio, Private in Colonel R. M. Johnson's Regiment. Placed on pension roll December 11, 1815 (Revolutionary War)

Henry Hill: Franklin County, Ohio, Private, Virginia Continental, pension roll 1819, died at age of 73.

George Hill: Licking County, Ohio, Private, Virginia Continental, pension roll 1819.

William Hill, Sr.: Pickaway County, Ohio, originally Hampshire County, Virginia. Lived in Pickaway County, Ohio, from 1815 to 1849, when he died at age of 73. Both John and William Hill (War of 1812)Ross County, Ohio.

William Hill: (War of 1812) In Fayette County, from 1812 until about 1835, then in Van Wert County until death in 1845.

It is important to get a complete transcript of pension claims as it gives all records of service, date and place of birth, wherein listed, wife and children, if any, also date of death.

Will you see what you can do toward having these records dug up? If you see the man who is assigned to this, fee him, you will be sure of getting a good job done.

Affectionately yours,

Hon: SamL D. Ingham, Secretary of the Treasury

Sir, By the foregoing declaration you will perceive that I am an Invalid Pensioner of the Revolutionary War, entitled only to a pension of five dollars and 2 cets per month, on account of wounds received in the battle at the Eutaw Springs. I have inclosed my original Certificate, with a view of relinquishing my pension under that as an Invalid Pensioner, and claiming under the Act of Congress of the 15th of May 1828 I did not receive a formal discharge; Capt Pearson not being with us at the time The Army was discharged; but I afterward received his Certificate of my service under him, of my being wounded & some from Col Stewart of Maryland who was a Cornel in the company with me. 
Ther vouchers^, all which were, I believe, depositions The War Office at the Time when I obtained the inclosed certificate, I have therefore no papers or vouchers, except Those on Record or File at the City of Washington; which I presume, on examination, will be found satisfactory.
