The general circumstance of my service was that we was sent in partys sometimes in Georgia and sometimes in South Carolina and we was often ingaged [engaged] with the enemy but not in any  general engagements with them as we was in small companys.

Sir; there is an application in your office for a pension in behalf of Henry Haman; heirs, for services in the revolutionary war, the application was made by Mr. Knight, a claim agent in Washington, representing Mrs Nancy Clanton of Madison South Carolina she being one of the children of said Haman. I believe that James Haman, son of said Henry is also applying. The service was either in Georgia or South Carolina probably under Harman.  Please let me know the state of the case, & if it is likely to be allowed. An early answer addressed to Tallahassee Florida will oblige.

Honorable Daniel Yulee,
Dear Sir. your favor of January 16th has been duly received. I feel obliged for your kindness in recommending the gentlemen named. I filled out the power of attorney as requested and return the same, I have written to you stating the service of my Father, the officers he served under the battles he was engaged in, and the names of his fellow soldiers etc. I will further state that he left his widow a Pension while a soldier, but left two children myself and sister, he never received a pension or any pay for his service, he died in the 74th year of his age, in the year 1835, his discharge was lost. therefore, any additional proof must be obtained from the records where they may be-you will please transfer the latter to Messrs John Birchet and Downing I also enclose the affidavit of Edward Boyer Sen'r. Perhaps it may be of some use, we have no papers that will serve as proof, all we know is what we heard him say. I will entrust the case with you.  when [illegible] please ask and any thing I can do further I wish to [offer] directions.
vey respectfully your obedient Servant
James Haymans

To
His Excellency The 
Commissioner of Pensions

Sir

Your attention is respectfully called to ascertain claims existing by virtue of a certain Act. of Congress granting pensions to the surviving soldiers of the Revolution and their heirs. The claim referenced to is that of James Hayman's son and heir of our Henry Hayman, a soldier having done officer services in the Revolutionary struggle between this country and Great Britain.  There has been an attempt made by one Mr. Smith to receive this claim without efforts. What has been the cause of the failure, I am unable to say.  Being aware however, that extensive  frauds have been practiced upon the Pension Office, I suppose you are led to be suspicious of any claim that may be presented.  The claim of this petitioner I feel assured is a valid one.  He is an aged man, has a large family to support by his labors, is a good and pious citizen, knows his father was a brave soldier in the struggle for Independence and that he rightfully and justly entitled to a pension, as much as any other man can be worth the Act referenced to. He would therefore take it exceedingly kind if you would state in precise terms the proof necessary to be made in order to obtain the said claim a pension.
Page 24

If you would furnish a copy of the Act. I would be very glad. [marked out text] An answer to this communication at as early a moment as may be convenient will be recived as a favor.

With considerations of high Respect, I remain your much obedient servant for James Haymans

P.S. Sir you are respectfully informed that I have this day nominated and appointed Wm H Meier  my true and lawful attorney to recover and collect the above claim, and here thereby revoke all new proof or power given or granted to any other person or persons for the said purpose.

Hon L.P. Waldo
Commissioner of Pensions

Sir: Your kind form of the 1st instant has been received I feel obliged by your prompt reply and the [illegible] and forms that you have sent me, in reply I could just say it was remarkable there is no record of Henry Haymans service, as he enlisted on the commencement of the war in the United States service and continued in the service until the close of the war. he served under General Morgan, McIntosh, Ash. Colonel William Washington, Captains Shadrack Inman. William. C. Neil, He was engaged in the following battles. Beck Tail ,now Waynesborough, Briar Creek Georgia. at Briar Creek under General Ash Georgia. under General Morgan at the Cowpens. At the Battle of Midway Georgia under Captain Inman.
The following are the names of some of the brave men who shared the trials and privations  of war with Mr. Haymans
Stephan Haymans
John Burnside
John Dyer
Henry Dyer
John Ivin
Henry Ivin
Henry Sapp
Shadrach Sapp
Jesse Eastwood

The above named gentlemen were [illegible]under Captain Inman

Henry Haymans received  a wound in the Battle of the Cowpens under the command of General Morgan, which James Haymans the present applicant has often seen.
I mention the above facts hoping they may lead to the discovery of the record of the service of Henry Haymans. if his name is open record in your office it will be likely-
Page 27

to be found among the names I have written, or upon the record of the battle I have named, I have thought it probable that during the immense and voluminous records of your office that the record of Henry Hayman may have been overlooked. But as these battles were such important events in the history of our country it would seem there must be a record somewhere. Therefore I thought I would furnish the above record  hoping that might be found upon record and the name of Henry Hayman among them.
You no doubt Sir are aware of the difficulty in obtaining evidence to sustain a claim of this kind as it has such a length of time since the events in question, and Mr. Hayman has been dead many years and all of his fellow soldiers. But it seems there is a liberal spirit existing on the part of the government to reward the surviving Patriots of the Revolution. and their widows and orphans.
It would seem a great pity that for some little defect in the record that Mr. Hayman Should be deprived of the benefit of the liberality that his Government  seems anxious  to bestow. We do not know that there is one person living who served in the war with Henry Hayman, we can find gentlemen who were acquainted with H. Hayman in his lifetime and know that he was a good citizen, and it was the general opinion among all of his acquaintance that he was a soldier of the Revolution and that he was highly esteemed as such. No doubt that you are aware that there has been some efforts used by Mr. Smith to recover [illegible] his attorney in Washington said  Messrs. Donoho and Magile, it appears from what I can learn from
Page 28

the papers there is a difficulty in regard to two declarations made not in the life time of Mr. Haymans it seems they cannot be found. The view Sir in that we take of the subject it is this. in the first place we know that Mr. Hayman is as a soldier in the Revolution. That he served through the war well that being the case he is a entitled a pension, but he now has not received any, consequently the pension is due to his heirs. We cannot see what that claim needs to be accounted for can affect the claim. if he received his pension there must be something on record to show the fact, and if so we do not want once [illegible]. We cannot see if there had been a thousand demands made for this  pension as is not [illegible] how it could affect it in any degree what ever. No matter what may have become of the declaration it would be impossible to account for them.  As there is such a bountiful spirit existing in the part of the government to reward all person  who have rendered military service to their country. We sincerely hope that you may waive any latter informality or ambiguity in this matter as there are thousands being benefited (sic) by the  [illegible] Congress a the subject whose service was [illegible] we still hope that the heirs of that Brave [illegible] may receive the reward which is so justly their due. For if General Washington, Jackson, Maine (?), Montgomery, and Paul Jones were entitled to a pension in their countries [country’s] gratitude then was the war torn Soldier Henry Hayman of Georgia. For his services were not nominal but he was one that bore the heat and battle of the day, he suffered [illegible] and danger of every kind for his
Page 29

Countries [country’s] rights and honour I hope you will take the most favorable view of this case, and examine whether his name cannot be  found among them I have named, I sincerely hope Sir that upon reflection and a review of the case these you may find is consistent with your duty to waive the difficulty in regards to the inaccuracies for claims.  we
can obtain other certificates or affidavits of  every citizen of this county to sustain the integrity, honesty, and respectability of the present claimant. I shall endeavor to get what information for the State department of Georgia that I can. I will be glad to hear from your excellency as soon as your convenience will admit of it. With consideration of of high respect 
I remain your obedient servant

Honorable L.P. Waldo
Dear Sir,
Your very prompt and kind reply to my communication relative to the claim of James Hayman, heir of Henry Hayman of Georgia has been duly received. I feel much obliged for the prompt attention you have paid to the subject. YPerhaps I have need to remark that you seem to have misunderstood the nature of the claim I had referred to. It is not a claim for bounty land by virtue of an act of the general assembly of Georgia that we are applying for but for a pension of [so] such money paid [herewith] for services rendered to the United States during their struggle with Great Britain for independence. Military service rendered by Henry Hayman the father of James Hayman. Heroic and reliable services for which neither Henry Hayman nor his heirs have ever received [illegible] any compensation for Mr. Hayman’s claim. This  pension by virtue of the [act of] Congress passed some two or three years ago granting pensions to the surviving soldiers of the revolution and their heirs. I understand there has been [illegible] [illegible] from the close of the last session of congress granting a pension of bounty land only upon the pension granted under the first act. I should have replyed to your communication at an earlier day, but I have been endeavoring to obtain these acts without success. You no doubt, sir, have a knowledge of  these acts and
Page 32

the provisions.  As it seems to be a very difficult matter to obtain these acts in this section of the county  consequently we are at a loss to know precisely what kind of proof to make. We should therefore esteem its a very great favor if you will have the kindness to furnish one in both of these acts if it is convenient if not so please to state the provisions of the acts. the former especially in as concise terms as maybe.  together with the kind of proof necessary for us to make. We have substantial reasons for believing that such acts have been passed by Congress.  in fact we know they have and many persons are  receiving the benefits of them we felle (sic) very well opined[?} that no individual has a better Rights or is more justly entitled to the benefit of them than Mr. Haymans. in as much his Father was a Brave soldier in that army that broke the British yoke and achieved the liberation of our country, he fought and grappled with the army in many severe [battles], left his home and family of peace to the mischief of Indians that inhabited Georgia at that time, and afresh the best as a prisoner of his days in that holy struggle, and not until after the last Battle had been fought and the [insolents forbidden] from our shores did he return to the bosom of family to provide for them [illegible]. And then was compelled to take up arms against the savage tricks of Indian who infested the country, to protect his family and settlement. We have understood there has been an act passed by Congress granting Bounty land to these
Page 33

surviving soldiers and their heirs. If this be the case, we will be glad if you will furnish any or all of them, especially the first passed, either in pamphlet on onion paper, or any other way it may be in your your power as convenient. Mr. Hayman is an aged honest man has a large family to support and is in much need of this pension.
Therefore an an answer to the communication with the above named acts, enclose with with instruction as to the proof necessary to make it as early a pension as may be consistent with your conscience, will gladly receive.
With high consideration and respects
I remain your obedient servant

Dear sirs this will inform you that I wish to state to you something of interest to I have in my hands at this time papers from Mr M Thomson of that city concerning the pension claim of my father Henry Hayman those paper came out in 1853 but I did not receive them until 1855 I have a letter and a power of attorney but before I got those I had made Mr [illegible] Knight my attorney of that place I also paid Mr Knight his fee he required made out the proof and done all he required and he has done nothing for me I wish you would see Mr Knight and get the power I sent him if you think proper I also wish you to try if you please to do something for us there is but two heirs my self and brother James Hayman brother wrote to me that Mr Yulee handed you the letter he received of him while he was there but he had got no answer from you I wish you to write to me if Mr M Thompson is there he spoke in his letter to me that the claim had been rejected or suspended for the lack of attention he thought it could be obtained and if you can't undertake for us perhaps Mr Thompson will for I am certain it is our right and we are entitled to it if any heirs is for I have heard my father tell over his sufferings and hardships and battles and others has received their pension and if government does us justice

we shud [should] recieve [sic] something they say the department was burnt if the record of fathers service was burnt I don't think I ought to lose all for I am cirtain [sic] my father was as true a man to his country as ever lived and fought as hard in the strugle [sic] for liberty he did abommonate [sic; abominate] the tories  unto the day of his death which was in 1835 and as he never received any pension I think his heirs ought to receive it it would amount to something worth trying for if you can git [sic] it for us you shal [sic] have half send half to me and brother we are both the same we are not in opposition I am a poor afflicted widdow [sic] and very needy though I don't want anything but right I hope to trust to god for all things do the best you can for me if you please and let me hear from you soon
