Commissioner of Pensions,

Dear Sir;-
In reply to your letter of April the first, I am giving all the data concerning John Dunlap who served in the War of 1812 from Kentucky. His wife was Mariah Key and although I have the dates of birth of their children -- at least part of them I do not know the dates of birth of either John Dunlap or his wife altho I should guess that John Dunlap were born bout 1794.
[side note 1] see neg. slip no such claim

You state that Eli Timmons whose name appears on the Ohio Pension roll, page 38, was not a soldier of the Rev., but served in the 19'' [illegible U.] S. Infantry, War of 1812. El Timmons died Feb. 24, 1815 . To whom was the money paid? Who applied for the pension if the name were not placed on the roll until Dec. 31, 1816, which is al-most two years after his death.

[side note 2] This is 1812 Crt assumed in lieu of bounty lands Ohio - in of Portage Co Ohio lot 40 --

On page 88 of the same Pension roll under "Ross County, Ohio" is the record of Robert Timmons-who was I am sure a Revolutionary soldier. Who applied for this pension and to whom was the money paid? Robert Timmons enlisted from Sussex Co., Deleware.

[side note 3] This is Rev - Del. Service Ohio Res - Act. 1818 - S40580 -

We do not have access to any sort of records here that cover such data as that which I need-consequently that which you give me is double appreciated.
Respectfully,
[Signed:] (Mrs. Reed ) Mrs Bassell Holloman
