Hon. J. L. Edwards
Sir,
  The enclosed proof I trust will be sufficient to show that there was a pension due to Elizabeth Grover wid. of Isaiah Grover at her death & now due to her Heirs--In your Report of Oct 28th 1845 you say "that Isaiah Grover stated in 1820 he had no family living with him. The facts in this case is that Isaiah Grove was a man of unstedy mind & roving disposition for the last ten years previous to his death. he almost entirely absented himself from his family and spent his time in the State of Ohio where he died. he then connected himself with another woman with whom he lived as Husband and wife by mutual consent--at the time the son made the application for Search of Records at Boston for his fathers service he was not posative in relation to the date of his fathers death but supposed from the information he then had that he died in 1831 or 2. But an a thorough investigation since that time we find that he died on the 12th day of June 1829. The balance due on his pension left at the time of his death was drawn by his pretended wife in the State of Ohio and that Certificate and the papers accompaning it, being on file in
Page 50

your office-will prove the date of his death if additional proof is required


Very Respectfully &c
