  Dear Sir
  I propose to correspond same what with you upon a subject in which I am some what interested which is the claim of my Father Peter Radubach who was a Revolutioary Soldierr & I will state that my father Ded Received his pension from between 1818 & 1820 until 1838 in which year he died my father enlisted in Philadelphia I cannot now tell in what year he enlisted but he was in Service three years & nine month & he was in Serianah [? Savanah] when peace was declared & in I think in Carlisle PA he was discharged, we claim the back pension from 1790 up to the time he commenced drawing his in the years above described & also for two years for my mother who survived rather two years. She died in the year 1840 in Gulfort Medina County Ohio & I will State that father died in the same town of Gulfort Medina County Ohio as above two ears previous. now in order to make this correspondence short I will let you know who drew fathers pension it was John Pardy of Wadworth, Medina County Ohio up to his death.
I will now say in the language of a circular  issued  from the pension office April 1855 which says many well accredited histories furnish evidence of individual military service that cannot be elsewhere found & is not to be supposed that these & other like proof of service are to be disregarded ( father & mother were married in 1787, the proof of their marriage was sent to the department in 1840 & have never been heard from since this
Page 21

proof of marriage was sent by Squire Hosten of Seville Medina County Ohio. Mother remained a widow from father's death until her death & the fact of father’s having received a pension for a portion of that time will all appear on the record of your office, now I was appointed as the executor of my father estate by his request to see that his business be settled up therefor I take the liberty of troubling you with this correspondence, the government servants as those which have been implied to form this government. Should he intitled to their hierarchy & as the decendant of one the heirs of the administration from succession progress we ask throw you the privilege of presenting this petition & being a friend of the present administration I await your answer upo the within
             I remain your
              obedient servant 
              A. Radubach P M

  I will further state father had got a certificate for 160 acres of land issued by the land office department & after the death of rather we ever could get any trace of the warrant or certificate & neither him or his heirs ever got any benefit from it 
The land lay in the forks of oil creek in Crawford County P.A. so stated by father previous to his death 
the certificate was left in care of Aman Bynance of Dull who lived in Harrisburg

the following is an extract
from letter from W. H. Canfield Esquire to S. Sloan dated
March 20. 1834
“I saw W. Rudebaugh a few days sinc. He informed me that he is the person whose name
entered at Edenburgh in the master rolls.
He says that his name was intend originally upon 
the roll correctly, that the last roll previous to 
his discharge was made out by a new officer
that he made a mistake copying the name.
Mr R. Said that he was sick and confined to
Hospital at the time and did not know of the mistake as to
his name untill he applied for his Pension under the act of 1828-
He says he procured some documentary evidence in Harrisburgh, Pennsylvania which satisfied the Secretary of War that he was the person whose name was entered as
Ederbaugh, and that there was a mistake by the returning Officer-
Mr. R’s pension was originally payable at Philadelphia [illegible]
and [illegible] has been since transferred and is now payable at Pittsburgh-Probably the proof as to his identity is now on file with
his application for a pension.”

  Dear Sir

  I am requested to write to the Department to inquire as to the application of Catharine Radabach of Guildford Medina County. Widow of Peter Radabach a Revolutionary Pensioner of the United States 
Said application was made about 18 months since and no satisfactory answer received as I am informed 
The said Peter Radabach died about 3 years ago and the said Catharine was married to the said Peter about the year 1783 or 4 perhaps as the papers sent to the office to wit the family record will show 
Will you have the goodness to inform me if the papers in that case are defective or what is the reason that the widow is not in the receipt of a pension

  Respectfully your obt set

Dear Sir

  I enclose Mr. Radubach’s declaration & power of attorney to you to receive a warrant for his bounty land- Can my former letters to you respecting his business & spelt the name Rodebaugh
I had not asked him how he spelt the name, but spelt it as it is usually pronounced supposing I was correct until I drew up the declaration, when I enquired of home how it was spelt, and I also observe it is Radubach in his pension certificate -
  I do not know in what State pensioners receive their bounty land, [“but if may” is crossed out]
on whether they can choose where it will be located but if it is left to them to say where, they will locate it,- Mr. Radubach is very anxious to receive his in this State, or if not, at least as near home as it can be, as it is his intentions to remove and occupy & improve it himself- Therefore if it can be located where it would not be too far distant from here from him to remove on to it, he is very anxious to have it done-

  Very respectfully ours
Wm. H Canfield
