Dr Sir:
I have caused diligent search to be made
and can find no marriage bond or other evidence
of the marriage of John Spinner among the records
of my office.

The records of this office, about the period mentioned
by you vizt 1779 are to the best of my judgment
and belief full and perfect.

Pension Office,
May 24, 1847.

Sir,
The claim of Mrs. Mary Spinner, widow of John Spinner, has
been examined and filed. The evidence that she was married to him
before he left the Army, is not satisfactory. She alleges that she was
married in 1780, in Amelia County, Virginia, but has not produced
any proof of that fact. The Clerk of the County of Amelia, in whose
office evidence would be found, if the marriage had taken place as
alleged, certifies that there is no evidence that any one of the name of
Spinner was licensed at or about the time, and that the records
are full and complete for the period. Some proof other than
her own declaration is wanted. It is shown that her daughter
was married before 1798, but that fact cannot establish with any
certainty, the date of the claimant's marriage. If the
claimant cannot procure any proof that her marriage took
place at the time mentioned, the Department will be willing
to allow her a pension of five years under the act of July 7. 1838,
and a pension of five years more under the acts of March 3
1843, and June 17, 1844.

I have the honor to be
Very respectfully,
Your Obt. Servt.

Sir
Yours of the 24th Ult, in relation to Mrs Mary
Spinner's case is before me - You say, "the evidence
that she was married to him (John Spinner) before
he left the [crossed out: service] army is not satisfactory" You
also say "If the claimant cannot produce any
proof that her marriage took place at the time
mentioned, the Department will be willing to allow
her a pension of five years under the act of July
7. 1838 and a pension of five years more under
the acts of March 3. 1843 and June 17. 1844."

Mrs Spinner is very old and all persons
who were acquainted with her about the time of
her marriage are in all probability dead at least
she knows of none now living.

You will therefore allowed her a pension under the
act of 1838, 1843 - 1844. refered to in your
letter and issue a certificate accordingly -

Sir
I have to request your attention
to the case of Spinner an applicant
for a pension from the County of
Amelia in Virginia. This pension is
one of those whose name was struck
from the Pension List as having a
larger amount of property than was
embraced by the rule of the Department
in [their report]. It comes within my
personal knowledge, that his condition
is extremely [necessitous], the land
which creates the difficulty [formerly]
being of the most inferior quality.
The papers connected with the case have
been already lodged in the Department
Page 37

should any further difficulty
be [experienced] in granting
the [renewal] of the Pension
I have to request that it may
be made known to me

as you informed me in conversation was deemed necessary, which I presume will be satisfactory. I do not know that it will be of any importance to add, that I am personally acquainted with the applicant in this case, who resides in the same County with myself, and that I have always considered his claim as one of the most unquestionable whether regarded in reference to merit or indigence, which has come within my knowledge.
