Madam:

I advise you that you were furnished, November 23, 1928, the history of the only soldier named William Pepper (s.5901), found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau. Said records fail to afford any information in regard to any John Benjamin Logan.
One John Logan (w. 1738), was born in 1757, in Morris County, New Jersey, and served in the Revolutionary War with the New Jersey Troops and was pensioned in 1833, while living in Henry County, Kentucky. His widow, Christena (her maiden name Barrenger), was also allowed pension in 1850 while residing in Henry County, Kentucky.
If you desire the full hsitory of this John Logan, the same will be furnished you upon request.
With the data furnished by you the bureau is unable to identify the record of any particular soldier named Joseph Smith.

Sir:

I must be permitted to remonstrate against your decision in the case of Christina Logan, widow of John Logan Your points are novel as matters of law and extraordinary as judicial interpretations of the rules of construction applied to evidence.
You say 1st that "the testimony of the witnesses as to the marriage is unsatisfactory, because, they should refer to some particular circumstances which enable them to
determine the date of the marriage to have been before the year 1800". The evidence embracing a declaration of knowledge of the main fact and of the existence of the marriage prior to the date 1800, being [illegible] impeached by any thing appearing on the face of the depositions
or [illegible], there is no rule in the law books which requires that the testimony shall be amplified by reference to circumstances. The same philosophy would require proof of the truth of the circumstances cited. The position, I respectfully submit, is entirely untenable, besides
being hypocritical.
2d You say "It is shown that the husband had a family record. That record should, in the absence of a public record, be exhibited."
If the family record were produced by an adversary, as testi
Page 31

mony, it could be used against the husband, upon the same principle that his acts or declarations can be proved against him;
but he could not introduce his own entry in his family bible to prove his own marriage under any circumstances. Heirs deserving title might a family register in proof of heirship or of the
marriage of ancestors, but no party ever did or ever was permitted to use his own family record to establish his own marriage. I understand the law of evidence to prefer the public record
first, then eye witnesses of the ceremony, and their proof of having lived together as man & wife. I think the case is clearly made out, and would pass in an impartial Court of Justice. I must therefore request you to review your
decision and to inscribe this lady upon the Pension Rolls. If you adhere to the decision, the case must go to the Secretary of the Interior and I desire the papers to be sent up with this letter for his decision upon the points on which your determination rests.

Yours Respectfully
