Washington June 4 1852 
Sir 
I herewith inclose [enclose]the revolutionary pension claim of the heirs of Rosanna Patrick, widow of Robert Patrick of York District S.C.  for a pension under Act of 4th July 1836 . I am informed that Robert Patrick's Service was long and arduous but much of his service having been rendered prior to 1778, was paid for at the time rendered, & does not therefore appear by the records. That service however was admitted in the case of Captain Peter Clinton, since the present session of Congress began. It appears that Robert Patrick, served in Captain Peter Clinton's company, he being a near neighbor of Clinton. 

This claim is sustained by the evidence of Thomas McLean of Gaston County North Carolina, and also by Joseph & Margaret Clinton, who have been acquainted with Robert Patrick all their
Page 25

lives, and know the traditions in regard to his services, having long worshiped with him in the same Church . Thomas McLean, it appears, knew Robt Patrick in time of & since the revolution, & the witnesses all concur that he was in the service & a good soldier, having been in many Battles. The claim is still further sustained by his handwriting, being identified  by the Comptroller General of South Carolina, whose certificate to that affect appears when the family Register appended to inclosed  [enclosed] declaration. This family Register & the Certificate of the Comptroller, would seem to be conclusive upon the points submitted. I ask that this case be reported to myself. 
I have the honor to be

Jonesville S. C. July 14th 1853 
Sir
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of  your report of the 11th May last in the Revolutionary pension claim of Rosanna Patrick, widow of Robert Patrick, & am instructed by the attorney in the case to present the inclosed [enclosed] additional testimony, and to say in reply to the said report, that the evidence now presented certainly establishes the identity of Robt Patrick, & his wife Rosanna. I am also instructed  to say that the handwriting of Robert Patrick in the Office of the Comptroller of South Carolina, is the same as that on the leaves of the blacksmith's  book sent to the Department, except that in the Comptrollers office seems to have been written with more care, & in rather a Rounder hand; - that the same may be said in regard to the handwriting of the family record, which would naturally be written with more care that the changes
Page 27

made on the blacksmiths' book, which were intended only as memorandums which were to be soon thrown aside as having answered the purpose intended, & that in addition to this, each of these specimens of handwriting were  doubtless written at different dates, thereby manifesting the changes only which time affects in the handwriting of all persons. I am instructed also to say, that apart from all considerations in reference to the handwriting  referred to, which in fact could not be made evidence in a Court of Justice by comparison [underscored], this case is fully made out, by other evidence, presented in the case, according to the strict rules laid down by the Department, to be observed in such cases. Apart from this, this case carries with it, to all acquainted with the circumstances & the  character of the parties & witnesses, more than ordinary credibility. It originates in one of the most remarkable social & religious Communities in the United States perhaps. The community referred
Page 28

to, is near the North Carolina line, in York District South Carolina. The Bethel Church  alluded to in the testimony of J. A. Campbell Esq. is nearly in the centre of this community. It is a Presbyterian Congregation, & had its locality fixed at this place, more than three quarters of a century ago. And such is the strict observance of these people, to the discipline  of that Church, that all are governed in their conduct towards one another, more upon the principles of a Theocracy, than an ordinary political system. I was informed a few years ago, by an old gentleman of that neighborhood, that for half a century past [underscored], no sheriff, had visited that section officially, except to summon juries to attend the Court of Common Pleas for the District. Robert Patrick, & his wife Rosanna Patrick, the witnesses J. A. Campbell & J K Armstrong, were and are members of this remarkable community. They live near the Kings Mountain battle ground, named in the testimony of Armstrong, & knowing the character of
Page 29

these people as I do, having been with them at their houses, and at Bethel Church with them, I feel warranted in saying that a better people  do not live upon earth. I have the fullest confidence, that this case is precisely what it is represented, & that all the testimony is entitled to the fullest credit. 
The attorney asks a reconsideration of the case, in connection with the testimony now presented. 
I have the honor to be with great respect
