Geo W. Crump Eqr [Esquire]
Acting Commr. [Commissioner] of Pensions 
Sir,

I came down here for the purpose of having the enclosed Power of Attorney presented to the Agent for payment but he refuses payment upon the ground that the Applicants of the Pensioners, do not precisely corispond [correspond] with the form furnished him by the Department. The words of the truth of which statement I am fully satisfied being omitted by the magistrate in all other requests the papers being completed. You will perceive, however by reference to the papers that the Magistrates in all these cases, have supplied, that trifling defect if it be one in unity by certifying [^ of their own [Illegible] that the Pensioners are the identical persons named in their Pension Certificates. 
Now it does seem to me, that as the magistrates have certified of their own knowledge, that these are the identical individuals named in the Pension Certificates exhibited before them. It is much stronger for the Government, than if the words in the printed form had been used which I have never seen untill [until] after these papers had been prepared. If the forms prescribed by the Department, affixed in any conceivable respect, a greater security to the Government, then it might reasonably be insisted on. If the Certificate used by the Magistrates be fully and to every intent as strong for the benefit of the Got [Government], and in all respects, at least, tantamount, to the words, within the form it would seem indeed, hard, and [Illegible] to require these old Pensioners, to be at the [Illegible]
Page 23

inconveniencing [^ some] expense, and delay of having these papers prepared again, they are living in remote sections of their County & it is attended with great inconvenience to get magistrates and witnesses to go to their houses. Great strictness in than disbursing agents of the Government is commendable, but I think the Richmond Pension Agent is rather too strict in this case, and therefore appeal to you for the correction and beg the favour [favor] of an early answer, directed to me at this place. 
Respectfully 
Yr Ob Sert [Your Obedient Servant]

Honorable William L. Nelson

Washington, D. C. 

My dear Mr. Nelson: 

Reference is made to your letter in behalf of Mrs. E. E. Evans, 103 Frederick Apartment, Columbia, Missouri, who desires the records of eleven Revolutionary War soldiers whose names are given on her list enclosed with your letter. 

A careful search of the Revolutionary War records has been made and no claim for pension or bounty land found based upon service in that war of a Daniel [ink smear], William Jacobs, Nicholas Moore, and Joseph [ink smear], as described by Mrs. Evans, nor of a Peter East and Richard Snead (Sneed). The records show that the histories of Jesse Rock and John Rock, named on the list, were furnished Mrs. Evans May 27 and May 29, 1835, and it is presumed have been received by her. The records of Martin and Richard Mooney, the other two names on the list, are furnished herewith. 

Mrs. Evans’ list is enclosed herewith. 

Very truly yours 

A. D. HILLER
Executive Assistant to the Administrator.

Name Mooney, William Grade Private          Line New York

WARRANT NUMBER 7460    ACREAGE  100         ISSUED Sept. 15, 1790 to Platt Smith, assignee

*The information concerning the issuance of warrants carded on this form is found in volumes 2 to 4 of “Land Warrants Issued Prior to 1800” which are registers of bounty land warrants issued to non-commissioned officers and privates under congressional resolutions of September 16, 1776, and subsequent dates. Other records relative to the applications for warrants appear to have been destroyed in the War Department fire of November 9, 1800. Information concerning warrants surrendered to the Federal Government is to be found in General Land Office records in The National Archives.
