On this 30th day of March AD 1855 personally appeared before the undersigned justice of the peace in and for said City and state Martha Logue a widow aged Eighty one years a resident of Baltimore City in the state of Maryland; and being duly sworn  according to law she declares that she is the widow of William Logue deceased who was a soldier of  the Revolution and who served according to the best of her information and belief as a private on board the Brig Independence commanded by Captain Bennett Matthews in the Chesapeake bay during the years 1777 and 1778 or parts thereof; that he served in that capacity for eight or nine months consecutively.  That she is informed and believes that he never received any formal discharge but that he served with honor and credit to himself as long as his services were required that the reasons, for his never having received any formal discharge, she is advised, are given by her late husband in his application for a pension now on file; which  pension was granted to him October 7th 1841 and enjoyed by him until his death; and that since his decease a pension under act of Congress of July 29th 1843 was granted to this declarant as his widow. as will appear by reference to the same on file and the record thereof in the office of Commissioner of Pensions on page 255, of Vol. 1: Book D. That this declarant refers to the evidence already on file  in said office as furnishing the best and only proof at this distance of time attainable of her husband's service and of her marriage; and which having already been once solemnly passed upon and approved by the offices of Government is sufficient for these purposes. And by reason
Page 16

of her great age and the decease of all those having personal knowledge of  these facts is unable to furnish any other or better evidence than is already on file in the matter of pensions aforesaid and all which she asserts to be true to the best of her knowledge and advice of what is therein stated.  This declarant's name before marriage was Martha Vogan and she is still a widow and makes this declaration to obtain the bounty land to which she is entitled under act of Congress of March 3rd 1855 and thereto appends her name.

Dear Sir,

Yours of the 26th instant, I have just received - I have again very carefully examined the papers and pay rolls of the Barges or Galleys employed for the defence of the Chesapeake Bay, during the War of the Revolution, and they afford no evidence of the service of William Logue, he alleges to have served in a galley called the "Independence", but I can find no vessel, barge, or galley of that name employed in the service of the States - I have not examined the records in the Executive Department, because I deemed it unnecessary to do so, as the books and papers relating to the revolution, were some years ago by Act of Assembly, removed from that Department and placed in this Office, If there was a Galley called the "Independence", there has been no pay roll or list of the men presumed, at least none can be found.

I am with great respect,
your obedient servant,

Dear Sir,

In accordance to get instructions of the 24th of July, I made application to George G. Brewer Register of the Land Office at Annapolis for such evidence of the service of William Logue as this office may afford - Mr. Brewer in his answer says there is no evidence of such service nor is there any roll of the Barge Independence in his office - This is not all astonishing as the pay rolls are very imperfect since all the records of the colonial navy
Page 29

I have procured the affidavit of the applicant as to the reasons of his not applying sooner for a pensions.  He first stated the fact of service to me when I advised him to apply and it was at my suggestion and that of the Honorable Stevenson Archer our Chief Judge who is a neighbor of Logue's that he did make application.
I beg you will give an early decision as possible as Logue is very poor and in want - Should further proof be found necessary it will give me great pleasure to supply it.

I am with great respect,

Your former of yesterday has been this moment received.  I regret that you can not allow the pension for 9 months at this distant period it would be impossible to obtain record evidence of the service unless by a mere chance it should.  He discovered - The nephritis of Mr. Logue are such as will not admit of further dealy and he must be ? with an allowance for 6 months.  May I beg you to forward his certificate as soon as practicable - It had better be sent to my care

Dear Sir,

Accompanying this letter, I have the honor to submit to your consideration the papers of William Logue, an applicant for a pension under the Law of 1832. in consequence of services on board a gondola or brig in the revolutionary war. I hope you will consider the proof as sufficient but should you be compelled to reject the application may I ask you to note the objections that they may be co? in a subsequent application.
Mr. Logue is old and indigent and very poor and is certainly a fit subject for the
Page 37

assistance of government.  He lives in the neighborhood of Judge Archer the Chief Judge of our Court, who has known him for many years and certifies to his credibility.  I have to apologize to you for the condition of one of the papers sent - they were brought to me by Mr. Logue who was thrown form his horse and the papers fell in the water.  
You will excuse my sending this as it will be some time before the Court meets again, to enable us to procure another.

I am with great respect,

Dear Sir,

Your former of the 21st instant was duly received and the certificates which you require are herewith transmitted - you will observe that the oath of the sister is that her brother William Logue served about nine months - while himself and his ? swear to more than nine months.  When you consider the time which has elapsed since the service and difficulty of proving the exact time. I hope you will consider this a sufficient proof of the nine months service.  It is too hard a case and now
Page 39

it could have been intended by congress or the Secretary of War. that a person with such conclusive proof of the nine months service should be cut down to six.  Why not give eight or seven?  
This poor man proves so conclusively that no reasonable man can doubt it, his service for 9 months at least and when poor and suffering with absolute poverty he asks his rights from his country he is cut down to the smallest of the same which the government ? under the act - I use this language my dear sir for I really feel the injustice which will be done to this poor old man by such a construction of the law.  
May I beg you to consider his proof again and if possible allow him the 9 months service - I believe he is entitled to his proportion of pay from 4th March
Page 40

1831 up to the last pay day - If you can allow the 9 months I hope you will without delay forward the certificate and the necessary papers to enable him to draw this back pay.

Your former of the 1st instant has been received and application made to the Register of the Land Office for the record of evidence of the service of the Commander Benedict Matthews - 
Mr. Brewers' letter in reply and the record in it are herewith transmitted.  Also the letter of the sworn gentleman in reply to my request for evidence as to the service of William Logue you desire the record of the applicants
Page 43

service were satisfactorily established. Will you permit me to call your attention to the declaration of the party who says he served for more than 9 months and also to the deposition of William McFadden enclosed in the same paper who says he knows William Logue served more than 9 months.  Substantiated as it is by the deposition of the applicant's sister who swears, I think, to the same period.  All documentary evidence being lost  you will appreciate the difficulty I am sure, of ascertaining with precision the time of service - I am sure the law ? was not intended that the party should prove that he served 9 months and not less no injustice can possibly occur to the government by giving the pension for this period - I pray you to consider
Page 44

these months and hoping these proofs may be sufficient to satisfy your doubts on this point.  I beg you to believe me.
