Since that time as you requested I have forwarded my oath of allegiance separately along with evidence in the case of Sarah Wilson

The Restoration Pension certificate in the case of Sarah Wilson restoring her to the rolls has been received and will be acted upon very soon

Very Respectfully
A.S. Wallace

P.S. Enclosed you will find two letters from W. T. Kincaid a son of the applicant who was in the 40th Iowa Vols U.S.A.

Brief in the case of John and Anna Kincaid
County and State of N Carolina
Acts June 7 1832 & Feby 1853

Claim ("for increase"), John Kincaid made a declaration in 1832 and declared that in 1779, 80, 81, +82 he served various tours as a private, a Lieutenant and a Captain, and that he had been paid
by the State of South Carolina for said service. At that early day, the State of the Record was not known to the Pension office and as he furnished no direct testimony - which was not then required - of his service - the whole amount of his services claimed in the three grade was thrown together and he was pensioned first as for privates service leaving out altogether any computation for same as an officer.

His widow is still ignorant of the record evidence in existence claimed her pension under the Act 1853 and was allowed at the same rate at which he was pensioned,

She now however, furnishes the certificate of the Comptroller in South Carolina, showing record evidence of her husband services claimed by him, not only corroborating his statements in general but particularizing the very places at which he served exactly in accordance with his claim made near 24 years ago

The increase is therefor allowed, giving the difference between $76.66 the original allowance and $159.33-  the service shewn by the certificate running from 4 Mch 1831 to 10 Aug 1837
when her husband died, and also under the Act of 1853, she being still alive,
