Sir:
In answer to your letter of the 11th instant, I have to inform you that there was an Invalid Pensioner on the New Jersey roll some years since named Barnes Bunn. The papers containing the evidence
upon which he was pensioned were destroyed when the War Office was burnt, several years since. We have no evidence in this department as to his service. The widow in order to obtain a pension must produce such proof as the enclosed printed instructions
point out. If, however, she was married to him after the year 1793,
her case is not provided for by law.
To Mr. A. A. Hughes,
Greenville, N. J.
date of death not stated.
