Dear Madam
I advise you from the papers on the Revolutionary War pension claim, W.24273, it appears that Jacob Garland was born August 25, 1754, place not stated. 
He enlisted in Sanbornton, New Hampshire, in May,1775, and served 6 months as a private in Captain Jeremiah Clough’s Company, Colonel Poor’s New Hampshire Regiment. He enlisted January 1, 1776, and served twelve months in Captain Jeremiah Clough’s Company, Colonel Poor’s Regiment.

S. 146
IN SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES.
__
FEBRUARY 6, 1847.
Submitted, and ordered to be printed,
___
Mr. UPHAM made the following
REPORT.
[To accompany bill S. No. 146.]

The Committee on Pensions, to whom was referred the petition of Abigail
Garland, widow of Jacob Garland, deceased, praying for a pension,
report:
That the petitioner claims a pension under the act of Congress passed
July 4th, 1836, as widow of Jacob Garland, deceased, a soldier in the war
of the Revolution. From the evidence accompanying the petition of the
claimant it appears that Jacob Garland, in the spring of 1775, enlisted into
the army of the Revolution and joined the company commanded by Capt.
Clough, Col. Poor's regiment, and served until February, 1777, when he
was honorably discharged. It also appears that the said Jacob Garland
was a pensioner of the United States for services in the war of the Revolution
, at the rate of 8 per month, at the time of his death, in April, 1843. The petitioner, in order to bring her case within the provisions of
the act of July 4th, 1836, must prove, in addition to the service of her husband, 1st
that she is now unmarried; and 2d, that her marriage
with the said Jacob took place before the expiration of the last period of
his service. From a careful examination of the evidence in the case the
committee are satisfied that the petitioner is unmarried, and that her marriage
with the said Jacob took place at Sanbornton, New Hampshire, on
the 13th day of May, 1776, and before the expiration of the last period of
her said husband's service,

The committee deem it unnecessary to detail at length the evidence
produced by the petitioner in support of her claim. It consists, 1st. Of
a leaf from her old Bible, upon which appears the following entries, viz:
"Jacob Garland born August 25th, 1754."
Abigail Tilton born August 3d, 1761."
Jacob Garland married to Abigail Tilton May the 13th, 1776, both of
Sanbornton, N. H."
"Jacob Garland died April 28th, 1843."
2d. Of the deposition of George W. Garland, who deposes that he is the
son of Jacob and Abigail Garland; that he is forty-seven years of age,
and that he, more than thirty years ago, saw the aforesaid leaf in his
__
Ritchie & Heiss, print.
Page 23

[1251
Mother's old Bible with all the entried now upon it except that of his father's death. 2d of the deposition of susanna Toford, who deposes that she is the sister of the petitioner, and seventy-nine year
age, and
that Jacob Garland came home from the army and married her sister Abigail
, and that she was present at the wedding, which took place at Sanbornton
, New Hampshire, in the spring of 1776. 4th. Of the depositions
of Jonathan Perkins and David Blanchard, who depose that the said Jacob
Garland came home to Sanbornton, on furlough, in the spring of 1776,
and was, as they then understood, married to the said Abigail. Deponents
were not present at the marriage, but common report said it had taken
place. 5th. Of the depositions of Sally Johnson, Ezra Johnson, Henry Cary, and David Blanchard, who depose that the said Jacob and Abigail
lived together and were reputed man and wife from May, 1776, to the
time of the said Jacob's death, in April, 1843, and brought up a large family
of children.
The children of the said Jacob and Abigail, as appears by the sworn
affidavit of the said Abigail, were born as follows, to wit:
John Garland, born September 16th, 1776.
Deborah Garland, born September 21st, 1778, 
Ruth Garland, born September 13 th, 1780.
Jacob Garland, born February 21st, 1783.
Abigail Garland, born May 9th, 1785.
Sally Garland, born May 19th, 1787.
Naby Garland, born November 2d, 1788.
Jacob Garland, born July 7th, 1790.
Nathiel Garland, born September 30th, 1792.
Sally Garland, born June 6th, 1794.
George W. Garland, born June 16th, 1796.
Matilda Garland, born June 11 th, 1799.
Statira Garland, born June 4th, 1805,
It further appears, from the evidence in the case, that the said Jacob
was requested, in the spring of 1776, to return home and marry the said
Abigail; and if her declaration on oath, corroborated as it is by the testimony
of her sister, Mrs. Tolford, and the general understanding in the
neighborhood, is to be relied upon, he did return and marry her before the
expiration of the last period of his service. The birth of the petitioner's
first child, in September, 1776, explains many of the circumstances which
she says immediately preceded and attended her marriage.
The Commissioner of Pensions has passed upon this claim, and rejected
it because the marriage of the claimant was not proved to his satisfaction.
The committee have examined the evidence with great care, and cannot
resist the conclusion that the petitioner was the lawful wife of the said
Jacob from the 13 th of May, 1776, to the time of his death, in April, 1843,
and therefore report a bill for her relief.

Enclosed is an old Bible record

deposition, and fastened to the paper on
which follows the age of their Children
they had no record of their children
ages that I wrote these down as directed by
the mother, who retains her faculties
remarkably well, and as far as I am
acquainted with the Children I presume she
is correct. The enclosed, probably is all
the proof that can ever be obtained

Sir
your note of the 28th instant
the evidence in support of Widow Abigail Garland
claim for a pension, have been received
Will you have the indent to inform me upon
what ground her claim was rejected at your office
Jacob Garland, deceased, the husband of Abigail, was
upon the pension roll and in the receipt of a pension
when he died, to wit, on the 28th of April, 1843,
under the act of July 4th, 1836. Abigail Garland
I suppose, in order to entitle herself to a pension, must
prove 1st that she is the widow of Jacob Garland
deceased; and 2d that her marriage took place
before the expiration of the last period of her deceased
husbands service of M Garland claim had been allowed
at your office, when would her pension have command,
at what rate more, and how long would it
have continued
Hon J L Edwards
