Mrs. Ethel M. Byrd

Dear Madam:

The data herein were obtained from the papers on file in pension
claim, S. 4749, based upon the Revolutionary War service of William
McIntosh.

William McIntosh was a native of Prince William County, Virginia;

While living in Prince William County, Virginia, he enlisted at
Dumfries. He stated that he enlisted in 1776, served in Captain
Thomas Ewell's company, Colonel George Gibson's Virginia regiment, was
in the battles of Monmouth and Stony Point and many inferior engagements
and skirmishes not specified, and was discharged in March, 1780,

It is stated that the following is a copy of a paper, the original of which is on file in the Executive Department, Richmond,
Virginia.

Certified that William McIntosh inlisted in the
Virginia Continental Line the 4th Feb., 1776, for two years, served that time, reinlisted for three years and is now for the war. He has been in actual service since
years, served that time, reinlisted for three years, and

Sir
I received in due course your letter
of the same last, in reply to our inquiry I made in the case of William McIntosh last a pensioner on the Virginia role at 32.
Your letter was very satisfactory on the point presented, but I find in preparing a petition for the Court of Claims, it is important indeed necessary that additional evidence should accompany the petition for a rightful [illegible]
of the merit of the claim now in question. I will state the same William McIntosh was pensioned under act 1818 Va. [illegible] to S G [illegible] and stopped from the role with the remark "non-continental."
such was the fact in the case of John Carr and Thompson Hutchinson. There thees [these] soldiers served in "Gibson" Va Regt. which was not considered in 1820 on continued establishment. But under a decision made by Sect. Easton of the Dept of War, Gibson Regt. was decided to have been in the Continental [Crisis] (1831) and if I mistake not Elijah Green and Patrick McEwill [illegible]: were both 
returned under the decision referred to.
By an act of Congress Feb 2, 1853, acts were passed for relief of John Carr and Thompson Hutchinson directing the pay of the pension under act 1818 from the time their names "in error was stricken off the pension role." And as before remarked a similar act was passed for the heir of Patrick McEwill.
What I wish is such a letter from you to place
Page 49

before the court of claims. The facts respecting the service of John Carr, Thompson Hutchinson, Patrick McEwill, and William McIntosh to show they all served in the same company or regiment.
And if these facts should appear by a statement from you and others, then the several acts did passed, the I think the Court of Claims will find no difficulty in the recommendation of the passage of an act for the relief of the heir of William McIntosh.
I remain Sir
Your most obt ser

He the affiant cannot speak from his personal knowledge in regard to the revolutionary services rendered by the said William McIntosh. But he never heard the fact of his services doubted.

James E. Heath Esq.
Commissioner of Pensions
Sir, A reference to the records of your office
will show that Wm. McIntosh as soldier of the Revolutionary War enlisted in Captain Thomas Ewell's company and regt was raised first on State Act, but transfered [transferred] [illegible] after its organization and equipment to the Continental services was [illegible] and the pension roll of the U. States under the law of 1818. That he drew some [illegible] once or twice and was then stricken, with others of the same company [illegible] Patriots all. Ewell and Elijah Green from the pension list roll as not being entitled to the benefits of said law inasmuch as they were [illegible] on State Act, by Va and not on Continental Act or service.
This was an erroneous decision of the  then Secretary of us will be shown by us further reference to your records which will show [illegible].
be said M Ewell and Green were reinstated and all arrears paid to them and [illegible]  said M Ewell and Green were continues on the Pension list and receive respective pensions as long as they live.
Wm McIntosh above named and his fellow soldiers never applied for reinstatement under the law of 1818 but left Dumfries where he resided when he first applied and when he was stricken off also and went South either to S. Carolina or Georgia. After the passage of the law of June 7th 1832 he applied under the provisions of that law and admitted and received a pension under it until his death. [illegible] injustice in the then Secretary of War to strike him from off the list, the result or consequences of which error was to deprive or [illegible] withhold from the said McIntosh all that amt of pension which occurred from the time or date of his being stricken from the roll as before stated until he was again reinstated under the law of June 7th, 1832. The error was not his [illegible] but that of the officer to who was confided a [illegible] administration and construction of the law. That money now in arrear was justly his and inasmuch s it was wrongfully withheld now properly and justly belongs and should be paid to his Heir, a widow lady, a Mrs Hamill, on whose behalf I make this statement believing, nay knowing it to be true. Please consider the matter and advise me as soon as possible.

James E Heath Esq   Occoquan 26th Apr 1852
Commissioner of Pensions

Sir In my letter of  date my design and purpose
was to set forth the case of Wm McIntosh a soldier in Captain Tho Evells company of the revolution comprising a portion of a
Regt. of the Va. line, transfered [transferred] to the Continental service and seeking to know whether his only heir a Mrs. Hamill now of 
Occoquan was entitled to and could lawfully 
claim and recover from your department certain
arrears of pension withheld from her 
father the so Wm McIntosh. Wm McIntosh was as I stated in my
former letter placed on the Pension list under the 
first Pension law of 1818 drew I think once and 
was then stricken off, he then left Va. and went Sounth when after the enactment of the law of 1832 he applied under its provisions and was again entered as a Pensioner and so remained 
till his death which occured [occurred] some few
years back. Evidence of all this is on record in your office.
The informations I have sought and now seek to 
eliecit is, can his heir Mrs. Hamill claim lawfully
and recover the amt of pension accruing under the law of 1818 from the time he was stricken off until he was restored or again put on the list of pensioners under the law of '32.
Mrs. H awaits and desires your decision and will then prove her heirship if necessary. In my former letter I stated the cases of Elijah Green and Patrick M. Evan to be the same as McIntoshs, they were of the same company, the restored and arrears paid. In Green's case to his heirs, please give the matter such consideration and investigation as may seem meet and just and write me. Mrs. G is wholly destitute and desired an answer with all the dispatch possible.
