Hon Geo. C. Whiting
Commissioner of Pensions

Sir.
May I ask you will examine the claim of Mrs. Eunice Smith widow of Isaac (now a pensioner on the Pennsylvania rolls at $20.00/100 per annum) for an increase of her stipend. 
The widow claimed Bounty Land and in her application for land sets forth, that her husband, 1st served in Vermont; then in Massachusetts; & then again in Vermont, also that her husband had applied many years since through one Barto but was not allowed his claim. = An examination of the case is made in your office, it is found that her husband did make application, and set forth service in the Massachusetts continental line only, as required by the act of 1818, that Six months, service was found which not being sufficient, he received no pension; the rolls corroborate her statement, they were found to verify his; the widows land warrant issued to her; her application for pension was made she is allowed $20.00/100 per annum
Page 55

[handwritten letter]
being for the 6 months continental service. 
An examination of the records show that her husband was in service as she claims. 
That rolls exist in the office of Secretary of state Vermont showing his name, the Secretary's certificate is filed, your office examines the claim; it reports that the Isaac Smith who served in Vermont was not the same who served in Massachusetts & then says, why Isaac Smith in whose right this claim is made cannot be the same man, is because, it is not supposable a man could readily be in two distant places at one and the same time. = Let us look at this; he was in the Massachusetts line from the 5th July 1780 to 5th January 1781, and the first time we find him again in Vermont service is 22 May 1781. these dates do not seem to conflict or make a man ubiquitous as of record by your office.
In your official letter of 17 May 1858 you say, "To have been in service in Vermont in 1779 "then in Massachusetts in 1780, & then in Vermont "seems improbable." To relieve this office of doubt as regards the probability or possibility but in fact to show to a certainty from his place of residence at the different periods of his entering the service, the very great
Page 56

[handwritten letter]
liability to his entering into the service of Vermont New Hampshire or Massachusetts (either N.H. or Mass'ts not distant 15 miles) I filed a sketch showing the relative positions of his residence and the boundary lines of those latter States.
I should be pleased to know whether you will not allow this claim unless some contemporary soldier be living to identify the man through his whole military career of 1779 to 1781. - for such proof is not attainable and it would be pure charity to relieve the old lady from any further thought or anxiety on the subject of her supposing she has any just claim for an increase.
Yours respectfully

Sir.
I respectfully request that a reexamination of the claim for increase of Pension of Eunice Smith widow of Isaac now on the Pennsylvania Rolls act 7 July 1838 at $20 per annum may be made, as I believe the decision rejecting said claim is erroneous viz that the service shown by the Vermont records was not performed by applicants husband, because the records show that the date thereof is the same, as she has been allowed for = Now let us look at this. = 
Mr Smith swears in his application under act 1818 that he entered the Massachusetts continental line under Colo Wigglesworth (Smith was also his Col). in March 1789 = meaning 1780. he claims none other than Continental service; had he done so, & were it proven & completely shown by the rolls it could not have availed him in one
Page 59

[handwritten letter]
cent & was at that time superfluous. 
His widow comes forward and claims Land and Pension. = specifies services, and the officers under whom her husband served.
The Vermont records show his services in
Capt. James Blakeslee Co. Vermont service campaign 1781 to 30th Time inclusive Private pay £2.12s. 
Capt. Burts Co. 24 April 1779 to June 29 1779 67 days Private.
Capt. John Starks Co. commanded by Capt Samuel Fletcher in Vermont service pay as drummer from 1st July to 24 (26) November 1781. - 144 days & 90 days travels £10.19.
Now in this certificate we have the years 1779. & 1781. but we have no 1780 and I should be pleased to know why the widows affidavit & the records do not corroborate themselves & make up the chain of proofs and identity. 
It is hardly necessary to say that, to, have manufactured the account

given by Mrs Smith of her husbands services. she must be a much better scholar than a majority of the present generation of Historical students instead of an uneducated & unsophisticated countrywoman. almost in her grave being 91 years of age. = all her statements bear the impress of truth.

Breif in the case of Eunice Smith widow of Isaac, Bradford County and State of Pennsylvania, act 7" July 1838 & Subsequent act relating thereto.
Claim, ("original," ['or for increase"' crossed out] [blank]
Proof exhibited, (if original.) [blank]
Is it documentary, traditionary, or supported by rolls? If either, state the substance. 
Isaac Smith applied for a pension in 1823 under the acts of 18" March, 1818, & 1st May 1820. his claim was rejected for the reason that he did not serve but  six months, as shown by the rolls of the Mass: Cont'l line. The Claimant alleges she was married to Isaac Smith in Dec: 1781. by the Rev: Henry Williams Pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Guilford, Windham Co. Vermont. The present pastor of said church testifies that Henry Williams was the pastor thereof in 1781. but, that testifies the marriage records of the Church prior to 1792 were destroyed. The affidavits of three credible witnesses are filed in which they ['(If for increase.) Has additional evidence been filed since the admission of the claim? If so, what?' crossed out] swear they knew the parties in 1791 & 2 & they then had several children; two other witnesses of credibility testify that in 1808 they were acquainted with the parties, that they had several children, the oldest of whom named Phebe, the parents claimed was born before the close of the War.
- The soldier died in 1828 as appears from the affidavits of tow credible affiants - The widowhood & identity of the Applicant is satisfactorily shown by a reference to the Soldier's application under the Acts of 18" Mch: 1818 & 1st May, 1820, in which he gives the name & age of his wife & by the affidavits of five Witnesses of Known credibility. Claim is admitted for #20, per ann, under the act 7" July 1838, deducting two years. Bounty land has been allowed the widow.
