Hon James L Edwards,
Dr Sir Enclosed I forward to you the papers made out in every respect  according to the directions of the War Depart. to procure the balance due to Uriah Gross a Rep. Pensioner at the time of his death - which amounted you will see to just 7 months pay at $90 per an: which would be exactly $52:50
Now sir the children of Mr Uriah Cross have made application for that Balance on these papers (& by the way as two other sets of papers all of which have been rejected by your agent at Albany) & the agent refuses payment on the papers. Mr. Calvin Cross has again made application to me to make out the papers anew. I advised him it was best to send them directly to Washington with the representations of the facts & desire you to examine them to see if they are not in every respect according to the regulations of the Dept. first then the Clerk of Madison County certifies that "satisfactory proof was made before the Court.
Page 27

Court that Uriah Cross died April 4th 1835, that he was at the time of his death a Revolutionary pensioner & the identical per = an now in the arranged Pension Certificate: So far right "that he left no widow" right (3) that he left children naming them all that are living & stating the residence of all that is known & when & where last heard of & that that diligent inquiry has been made & [illegible] all this in the exact words of the instructions of the department. 4th that said Uriah left no other children & that they were all of age. & 5th that the evidence was satisfactory to [illegible]Court. That is all right.  Then you rule see attached the [illegible] Pension Certificate of Uriah Cross & also a Power of Attorney from all the children of Uriah who endever is known & who have been heard of or from for the last year or two and which Power is properly authenticated. Now this is also in [illegible] and conformity with the instructions of the department. 
I am unable to see what more can be required of the children of Mr. Uriah Cross to entitle them to the small balance of their fathers pension & therefore feel very sorry that the Agent at Albany should refuse payment then repeatedly by which it has already cost them 10 to $15 expense. I therefore desire you to examine the  [illegible] papers [illegible]
Page 28

cally & see if they are not in every respect in conformity to the instructions of the Department - if not be so good as to point out the variance as I am unable to discern it. If you find the papers right as I think you will on examination. I then want an order endorsed on the papers or such other way as you may think proper directing the payment of the amount on these papers-(without putting the children to the expense of making them over & sending them around for the signatures of the children again as they reside at different parts) to such [illegible]. may be Employers by them to present them. [illegible] will not be able to present the [illegible].
If you find the papers right as I said before - I think it would be no more than Justice to the children who have bona fide applied for the money, then unjustly kept from the [illegible] for nearly 18 months that interest should be added to the sum due for a part of that time of that you will judge. Your attention to this, sir, & return of these papers with such directions as you shall think proper to make to me as soon as convenient will greatly oblige . Sir your obedient servant & though we those were intended

Albany Pension Agency
October 17, 1836.
James L. Edwards Esquire,
Commissioner of Pensions,
Sir, Your letter of the 13th inst. enclosing papers in the case of Uriah Cross dec'd. is received -
We have no distinct recollection of these papers having been presented at the agency, but presume they must have been, in some form, or an application to you in relation to them, would not have been made - On obtaining them as now presented, the following objections to the validity and correctness, appear to exist.
1.  There is no subscribing witness to the execution of the power of Attorney, by Calvin Cross & Lucy Way.
2.  The name of the Attorney, Zina S. Moseley, is evidently written as an erasure, and no note or memorandum of that fact is made by the Magistrate or Witnesses -
3.  In the Certificate if the Clerk of the Court, dated 29th March 1836, the words, "that the above named children are his only children & that they are of age" appear to have been interlined; but whether before or since the papers was presented at the Agency, we are not able to state -
It also appears by the Certificate of the Clerk, endorsed in the Pension Certificate and dated Octr. 7, 1835, that the residence
Page 32

of all the children, except Calvin Cross was unknown, and by the certificate dated March 29th 1836, that one of them resided in Madison, another in Jefferson, and two in Oswego County.   How far this apparent discrepancy would be an objection to this claim, I am not prepared to say.  I mention it as one of the facts in the case as presented by the papers. Be pleased to favor me with your special instructions in this case. The papers are herewith returned.

War Department,
Pension Office,
March 22, 1830.
Sir:
       The documents which you deposited in this office in support of the claims of Uriah Cross and Samuel Luscombe to pensions on account of Revolutionary services have been examined. The regiment commanded by Col. James Eason in which Mr Cross states to have served was not on the continental establishment. As the act of March 18, 1818, under which he claims, provides for none who did not serve on the continental establishment, his claim cannot be allowed. His declaration will remain on our files according to the regulations of this Department.
 J. L. E.

In the Bureau letter of Oct 24 1836 in this claim, it is stated that the papers in the case of Uriah Cross, dec'd. are herewith returned see letter to F. J. Munger.
As there were no papers in the 1818 claim on file where the claims were carded in 1905, it is highly probable they were returned in 1836.
