Mrs. W. B. Dohoney,

Amarillo, Texas.
Madam:
August 28, 1922.
In response to your letter of June 27, 1922,
you are advised that it appears from the records of
this Bureau that in 1847 one Peter Hubert [underlined in pencil] of Rouse's
Point, N. Y., who in 1832 was living at St. Johns,
Canada East aged 101 years, applied for pension as a
soldier of the Revolution, R.File 95319, and his son
Francis also applied for pension on account of his
father's services during the Revolution in Colonel
Hazen's Canadian Regiment of the Continental Line;
but the claim was not allowed as the rolls showed
that Peter Hubert a Corporal enlisted November 20,
1777, in Colonel Hazen's Regiment and died January
20, 1783.
Very respectfully,
Washington Gardner
Commissioner.

Sir
In reply by yours of the 28th ultimo, requiring Francis Hubert the claimant for arrears
of Pension under the act
of May 15th 1828 to "show when the land alleged to have been received by their father was granted
by the State of New York [double underlined], & what disposition was made of it I have the honor to enclose to you the Exemplification of his Patent which I wish returned
after you have done with it.
The disposition he made of his lands appears
by the deed from Peter Hubert to
Benjamin Mooers which is attached to the of
the Regiment of Genl Hazen, and the subscribing
witness to the deed, Clermont Gosline, was a Captain
in the same Regiment who in the Certificate of
acknowledgement on his oath clearly identifies said Hubert
 
 I am Respectfully yours

Sir
The children of Peter Herbert have
filed in this Court a petition for the amount
of Pension which he would have received
had his application under the Act of
May 15, 1828, Sec 3, been allowed by your
office.
I beg to be furnished with the reports
of your office on this case, and any document
which may [illegible] forth the evidence
and the grounds on which the application
was rejected.
I would be glad also to be informed
whether Hubert as a Canadian Refugee was
entitled to the 500 acres of land which he
received, or whether that a quantity
implies military service: also as to
the view taken by your Department of
the effect of the entry of Hubert's name on
the balloting Book of New York
I subjoin a list of the papers put in

Sir,
     In reply to your letter of the 24th within I have to inform you that all the papers in the case of Peter Hubert, sworn, acts 15th May 1828 and June 7 1832, were sent to Hon Jacob Broom. Chairman of the committee on Revolutionary Pensions of the House, on the 23rd May 1856.
     I enclose a copy of a letter (two words were lined through) dated April 19. 1854, giving the reasons for the rejection of the claims by this office. 
     The award of 500 acres of Land to the Canadian Refugees and or not necessarily show any service whatever. (3 sentences were lined through). The Peter Hubert, who ^ is [stated?] to have received land from New York in 1790 was doubtless however, attached to Hazen’s regiment - And entered it on the 20th November 1777 and corporal, was reduced to the rank in April 1778, and

Sir, 
      I have been applied to by Peter Hubert of St John Canada East. Who represents himself to have been a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and who served years ago (1847) made application for his pension.  He recv’d a letter from Secretary Walker to whom the application was sent. Saying it was received and handed over to J.L. Edwards Esq. Commissioner of Pensions. Since which time nothing has been heard from said claim.  He is now 101 years of age. And living in Canada. And from the Army Rolls in Albany it appears he served.
     If you will have the kindness to inform me the state of his case. As it appears at Washington. You will confer a favor to an old soldier. Should it turn out that his claim is a meritorious one.
     I am with much respect
     Your obedient servant

N.B. His case properly comes under the law of Congress
passed May 15th. 1828.

Pension Office, April 19, 1854.
Sir,
I have carefully examined the papers transmitted in the case of Peter Hubart [Hubert], deceased, together with the rolls of Colonel Hazen's regiment - revolutionary army.
The service described in these papers was performed by a soldier named Peter Hubart [Hubert], who is shown by the rolls in this office to have died in 1783. The land appears, nevertheless, to have been obtained from the State of New York in 1790 - There has evidently been something wrong in this matter from the beginning - The present claim for pension is rejected.
Very respectfully

It is required that the claimants shall show when the land alleged to have been received by their father was granted by the State of New York and what disposition was made of it.

Sir
 The Roll of Col Hazens' Regiment, in the possession of this office, show that Peter Hubert ^ act 1828 died in 83, there only appears to have been one of that name in Hazen's Regt. Unless the present applicant can show that there were two Peter Huberts in that Regt and prove his services his claim could be allowed, -
  As you are the officer before whom the declaration was made and the applicant's taken, the Department cannot report further to you -
