Dear Sir

I trust you will pardon me if the request I am about to make is an unusual one. But I know of no other other manner of obtaining the information I desire except through your office. 
My great-Grandmother Ann Tice I have always understood was a Revolutionary pensioner and I have also
Page 36

18141 N

been led to believe that my great grandfather Jacob Tice was a Revolutionary officer from New Jersey.  

But there is an entire absence any documentary
evidence of these facts. 

I assume from the above statement that Ann Tice was the Widow and pensioner of Jacob Tice.  I find a Jacob Tice was 2d Lieutament of Capt Hunns Co. & 1st Lieut. Capt. John Schenks Co. & 1st Lieut. Middlesex. This must have
been my great grandfather
Page 37

but I have no other  way of identifying Ann ['Kearney' crossed out] Tice (Nee Ann Kearney)
with Jacob Tice except through the pension rolls., Ann Tice died about 1850 and was a
resident of Cambridge Washington Co New York at her decease but I presume the pension was granted when she was a resident of New Jersey If you can assist me in the matter of
identifying Ann Tice with Lieut Jacob Tice and also give what grounds the pension was granted on I will deem it a great favor as it is quite important to me  Hoping you will not think
me to presumptuous  I remain Very truly
