Sir, 
The application of Magalin Waltmer claiming a pension as the widow of Michael Waltmer under the act of 7 July 1838 has been examined and her declaration together with the affidavits of the Witness are herewith returned that their respective signatures may be attached to their statements.
Mrs. Waltmer should set forth the length, period of her husband service and grade with the names of the company and filed officers under whom it was rendered in some specific [illegible] and obtain the same by the record of the Land Office at Annapolis if he was attached to the Maryland Line. or if he belonged to a Pennsylvania regiment the names in the auditer [auditor] Genls [Generals] Office at Harrisburg should furnish proof thereof Michael Waltmer was an Invalid pensioner, but his papers were burned with the War Department, and we have no means
Page 35

of ascertaining the names of his officers of the Regiment to which he was attached -The proof of their marriage [is crossed out] before 1794 is not at all satisfactory. If
there be no church register or family record abamable, the date thereof should be established by respectable and intelligent witnesses who by referring to some record  made about the period of its consummation can show Clearly that they are [illegible]  in the facts of which they testify

The additional evidence in the case of Magdalin Waltman widow of Michael Waltman is sufficient to identify her husband with the Wars man of the Maryland Line bearing his name 
But the [illegible] their marriage is not at all satisfactory to show that it took place prior to 1794, The Witnesses should state clearly the means they have of knowing that these parties were recognized as husband and wife prior to the [illegible], If the marriage took place as early as 1784 Claimant should find no difficulty in showing by the testimony of respectable and intelligent Citizens who were associates with her
children by a comparison of their ages. that it took place at a period sufficiently early to bring her claim within the the provisions of the act of 7 July 1838

July 31 1847
The additional evidence in the case of Magdalin Waltner widow of Michael Waltner is not at all satisfactory to identify her husband either with the Invalid pension late of Frederick County with the was man of the 7th Maryland regiment bearing his name - Clear and direct testimony of
persons of knowing high standing such as Judges of the Court, members of Congress, or others in the enjoyment of the public confidence shows that the claimants husband was the identical
Individual who drew an Invalid pension from the general Government, and that that pensioner
died in 1829, should be produced. This is the more [illegible] upon in this case as it appears from the certificate of the Court, which accompanied your letter of the 13th Inst . That the Heirs 
of Michael Walter are about to apply for County land, for his services as the War man
Page 49

of the 7 Maryland regiment when the records of this Office shows that the only man of that name belonging to that line received a Warrant for his land as daily as 1790
The evidence of their marriage is not satisfactory

Dear Sir-

Would it be possible for you to give me the Revolutionary War Record of Michael Waltman (or Waldman)? His name first appears as a private in Captain Stull's Co. 7th Maryland Regiment, commanded by Co. John Gunby, and last appears in 1884 on a list from the Commissioners office. We know he was a pensioner but has no reason to believe he also served as a lieut(?). I would be deeply grateful if you could help me verify this.
