Dear Sir: 

  You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 2390, that Samuel Coward married January 3, 1796, Elizabeth Walton. She was born December 15, 1775, and at the time of her marriage was of Lower Freehold Township, Monmouth county, New Jersey. He was then of Upper Freehold Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey.

He died in 1811 in Monmouth County, New Jersey.

His widow, Elizabeth, applied for pension June 28, 1851, and alleged that her husband, Samuel Coward, while a resident of Upper Freehold Township, New Jersey, enlisted when about eighteen years of age, and served as private in monthly tours and on several alarms, in the New Jersey militia until the close of the war, a part of the time under Captain Peter Wikoff.

The claim was not allowed as she failed to furnish proof of six months service as required by the pension law.

She received a pension of $40 per annum from the State of New Jersey, on account of the services of her husband, Samuel Coward, in the War of the Revolution. 

In 1853 she was living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Their children were:
Mary born October 28, 1798
Joseph " August 30, 1800
Page 11

Alice Lee born October 20, 1802
Elisha Walton " December 16, 1804
Samuel Throckmorton " February 22, 1807.

It is stated that the soldier's father, whose name was not given, and his brother, Joseph, also served in the Revolutionary War.

Very truly yours

Sir:

In the case of Elizabeth Coward, widow of Samuel of New Jersey, who claims a pension under the Act July 29, 1848, you are informed that without better evidence of the service of her husband, no allowance can be made.

The certificate of the Secretary of the State of New Jersey does not show as much as six months service, and the alleged amount of service is not proven by any witness having a knowledge of its performance.

The proofs of marriage, although not as good as it should be, will not be objected to and whenever you can satisfy this Department that the soldier performed as much as six months service, the widow will be allowed a pension.

Sir,
The additional proof filed by you in the case of Elizabeth Coward, widow of Samuel, who claims pension under act of 29th July 1848 has been examined, and placed with the other papers.

The difficulty in this case is that the proof does not show a sufficiency of service to entitle the party to any pension. 6 months being necessary to warrant a pension for the minimum amount - $20- The allowance of the claim awaits satisfactory proof upon this point.

Very respectfully

Feelings that justice will accord to the widow of one who perilled his life in the defense of the citizens of New Jersey.
