Sir
In Dec 1836 my mother
Mrs. Sarah Golder applied for a Pension under the
act of Congress of July 4 1836 as widow of my Father
Capt. Archibald Golder. Her claim was allowed
in January 1837 & paid to her children viz -
Archibald, John, Henrietta Robert & George
she having departed this life in the interim -
Our Mother at the time of her said application
was not aware that inasmuch as her Husband
had been promoted in the line from Captain to
Pay Master she could claim a pension at a 
higher rate than the pay of a Captain - which
I have recently been informed is the fact.
I now therefore on behalf of myself & the other
above named children of said Sarah Golder
respectfully make application for the additional
arrears of Pension due her at the time of her death
on Dec 18 1836 as widow of Capt Archd. Golder
who was Pay Master from Oct 18th 1781 to Nov 11th
1782 the proofs of which service are on file in

In re: James Cretin, Maryland

Dear Sir:

I am endeavoring to build up some records in connection with the above named party who served in the War of 1812 and who I am advised was entitled to a pension. From information I have been able to gather, this pension may never have been paid for the party who made the application for this pension died either as the pension papers were being forwarded for signature or after the first check was delivered.

Will you advise what records exist? This party was from just outside Baltimore, Maryland , somewhere in what is known as the Green Spring Valley Section, Post Office Unknown. The papers may have been filed from his later home in Emmittsburg, Maryland.

I have heard that his brother Andrew Cretin was originally called for the War of 1812, but being a married man with children, his brother James Cretin, then unmarried, went in his place. 

Any information which you can locate will be greatly appreciated. 

Very truly yorus,

Respected Sir:

The enclosed documents I trust will be found satisfactory in establishing the claim of Sarah Golder to a pension under the 3rd section of the Law of July 4, 1836 on account of the services of her husband in the War of the Revolution: By those documents it is proven - 

1. That Archibald Golder was appointed Lieutenant in Extra regiment Maryland line, service U.S. on 27 July 1780
2. He was promoted and appointed to Captain 1 Sept 1780
3. He was paymaster of said regiment from 18 October 1780 to 11 November 1782
4. He was still a captain in said regiment as of 3 Apr 1781
5. He was paid off as late a captain in same regiment - 24 Jany 1782
6. He was appointed Quarter Master - 18 July 1782
7. What he was married to Sarah Ashmead at Annapolis in April 1782 and died in the year 1807. HIs said widow Sarah Golder survived him until the 18 December 1836 was when she departed this life - having made her application a few days previously.

All of which is respectfully submitted 
By Your most Obedient Servant

Alexander Yearley

P.S. It may be proper to mention that Mrs. Golder made a will on the day before her death bequeathing the above claim to her only daughter Henrietta A. Golder and appointing me the executor of said will.

About three months since a pension was granted my now deceased mother for Revolutionary service rendered by my father Captain Archibald Golder in the Revolutionary War.

Yours very respectfully
