Militia by reference thereto & by the pay Rolls it will be seen he served in [illegible] company from June 30, 1812 to Aug 2, 1812.

There being no record of her marriage public or private, reference is therein made to the proof, which must have been  filed where she obtained a certificate for a pension of said Isaac as his widow after is decease

The fact that there must have been a marriage, is further shown by the affidavit of Jonah Martin & George Baldwin [illegible] showing that they lived together as husband & wife during the life time of said Isaac Mitchell I also enclose a letter dated May 22, 1854 from the 3d Auditor directed to you and

War in the Company under his command - I have hereby drawn for my mother as widow of Thomas Baldwin Bounty land for his services at their place in 1812.

These facts which mention wit as evidence thirdly speaking satisfy me that the applicant Jane Mitchell is entitled to Bounty Land for those services of her husband - and I also mention these for the purpose of directing your inquiries - My signature and official  character is authentical by the Certificate of Hon. B. Berkins - M,C, annexed

Sir

Enclosed I send you the application of Mrs Jane Mitchell widow of Isaac Mitchell deceased a Revolutionary Soldier, for an increase of her pension as said widow. I also at the suggestion of Hon Preston King enclose the original pension certificate of Isaac Mitchell deceased with a letter perporting to be written to said Mitchells by J.L. Edwards, under date July 19, 1820 -

Prefixed to Mrs. Mitchells application is a letter dated May 20, 1854 written by you to Mr King which he has given to me to prefix to the application.

By the original certificate it will be seen that Isaac Mitchell received $96 a year and by your letter to Mr King it will be seen that his widow is entitled to the same amount - I have in the absence of any public or private record of her marriage obtained affidavits of persons who certify that the deceased pensioner Isaac Mitchell & Jane Mitchell lived

[continued]
Page 61

[continued]

together as husband & wife some thirty or forty years - I have also affixed my certificate corroborating the same facts - 

The application is also made as will be seen to enable her to draw her arrearages of pensioner to which by your letter it seems she is entitled to draw from July 1st 1845 — it will be seen however by two affidavit. that Isaac Mitchell her husband did not deport this life till October 14, 1848 

Should any thing further be required to enable her to obtain the object [illegible] her application please advise me  — it will be seen by the certificate of the Hon B. Perkins Mem. of Congress from this District that I am a Justice of the peace authorized to administer oaths - By that certificate the [illegible] of my signature to the juraty or certificates is authenticated.
