Mr R McClelland Esq,
Dear sir . . I would inform you that I received Sarah Jacksons Certificate (widow of Daniel Jackson a Revolutionary Pensioner) calling for a pension at the rate of Forty Three Dollars & Thirty Three Cents per anum half yearly, after I took it, and went to Cincinnati and presented the claim to J C Green Pension agent. the Papers not being just right, I went home, rectified the Papers, (according to his instructions) sent them to him he sent me a draft for the amount due & all right.
on the 9th of October Last - we prepared the papers sent them to Joel C Green Esq. pension agent Cincinnati requested him to send us a draft as he had done on the 4th of March 1854. but receivd no answer. wrote a private Letter to him the 15th of October, requested him to Let us know, wether he had receivd the papers or not,  receivd no answer, wrote a private Letter the Last of November desiring to know wether he had received the papers, or Letters. I have receivd no answer yet.  now we do not know what to do. he may be Dead, or removed from office. I want you to write to me immediately, if you please. the widow is old and infirm and almost blind and has to Live with other people and she frets considerable about her Pension.
Page 39

she chose me to attend to her business. I do not charge her for my time and trouble except I pay out money - then I charge that. the agency at Cincinnati seems too far, we Live 160 from Cincinnati. it will make it to costly for me to go there every six months for the Pension, and poor old Widow needs every cent of it and more too  if she had it to support her, we request you to appoint and agent more convenient. Thomas H Dalrymple Esq or Erwin [crossed out] Irwin Esq, Cashier of the Mt Gillead Bank, either of those gentleman would be suitable and fill the office with ability  they are both residents of Mt Gillead Morrow Co Ohio. plese write and inform me what to do in this case.  I have have stated the facts in the case.

L. P. Waldo, Commissioner of  Pensions,
Dear Sir, yours of the 8th of Dec 1853, I received, I have tried to prepare the widow Jacksons her [crossed out] case as well as I can, I have got the Marriage Certificate, the day of the Death (of the said Daniel Jackson by 2 good witnesses being neighbors, but they had forgotten the day of his Death, and there being no record of the same that we know of, I had them go to the Grave yard and take it from his head stone, so as to have it correct.
the bodily infirmaty of the widow is such, that she cannot be taken to court, so I had to get the Justice & witnesses to come to her sons, where she lives and have the business transacted.  I being a farmer and not much acquainted with Law, and especially with Pension Law, I went to a Lawyer and got a form and got him to fill it out, but whether you can read his writing or not, you will know best when you see it & no doubt there has been fraud practised upon the Department but we state nothing but honest facts in the case. I also send you a receipt written by Mr Shur, Merchant, of Chesterville. Mr Ensley Johnson of Martinsburgh Knox Co Ohio, was pension agent  Mr Shur of Chesterville at that time was selling goods on commission for Mr Johnson, and being within a few mile of Daniel Jacksons residence, he Mr Jackson still drew his pay at Mr Shurs, Mr Johnson retained the certificate (broke up and left the Country long since) Mr Jackson was a poor man and Left his widow in the same state and she much needs aid from some source. I do not know that it is nessary for me to write any more as I have stated the facts in the case as near as I can (over)
Page 45

the amount of Pension that the said Daniel Jackson drew, the widow being old and feeble, cannot remember.  To a certainty I am knowing the certainty of his drawing a Pension but how much I cannot tell
I refer you also to the other Papers with the Power [illegible]  Yours with respect Wm T. Campbell

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Daniel Jackson [name handwritten] which require further proof or explanation.
I.  Does the declaration show where the applicant resides?
II.  Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides?
III.  If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so?
IV.  Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served?
V.  *Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amout of pension he is entitled?
VI.  Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations?
VII.  Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832?
VIII. Has the Court given their opinion?
IX.  Has the Clerk given his certificate?
X.  Is the Clerk's seal affixed?  And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal?
Page 47

XI.  Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service?
XII.  If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it?
XIII.  If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had?
XIV.  If the applicant's name is not found on the rolls of military service, has he produced a witness or witnesses as to his service?  If he has produced direct proof as to service, has the magistrate who administered the oath, certified to the credibility of the witness or witnesses?  Has the proper officer certified to the official character and signature of the magistrate as the regulations direct?
XV.  Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age, as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service?
XVI.  Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct?
XVII.  Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily?  And, if not, which of them is not so answered?
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
*QUERE V.  In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:  "Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less that the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades;  For [blank] year [blank] months, and [blank] days, I served as a [blank] For [blank] months and [blank] days, I served as a [blank]; and for such service I claim a pension.
Page 48

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service.  The use of the phrase about three or four months [phrase italicized] is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable.  Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service.  This form of a declaration is highly objectionable.  It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
QUERE XIV.  Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged.  The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
QUERE XVI.  Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
[pointing finger icon] In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

Dear Sir - In preparing my data to become a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, I lack two dates which are required.
My revolutionary ancestor was Daniel Jackson, who served as a private minute man in the Morris County New Jersey Militia; enlisted June 1776 in Captain Josiah Hall's company, Colonel Jacob Ford Jr's Eastern Battalion; took part in battle of Monmouth, N.J. in 1778- and in battle of Springfield, N.J., 1780.
Page 55

Papers on file in office of Adjutant General in State of New Jersey show that widow drew a pension. The name of the widow was Jemima Benjamin Jackson, born July 7th, 1754. Daniel Jackson was born December 26th, 1753 and died April 9th, 1836 in Knox County, Ohio.
The dates I lack are the date of marriage of Jemima Benjamin and Daniel Jackson and the date of death of Jemima Benjamin. If you can furnish me these dates or give me information as to where I could find them, I shall appreciate it very much. If there is any charge, I shall forward it immediately. Thanking you - (Mrs W.H.) Edith Jackson France

Dear Sirs:  Will you kindly advise me your record of pensioning the widow of Daniel Jackson of Ohio, a Revolutionary War soldier, an officer I believe.  He died & was buried near Pulaskiville, Ohio, April 9, 1836, aged 83 years, 3 months, and 13 days.  His widow, Sarah Campbell Jackson died & buried there Dec. 26, 1868, aged 98 years, 7 months and 16 days.  These are all the facts I have, but if from this meager information you can give me his military record or any information of any kind regarding him, you will have my lasting gratitude.

Dear Sirs:  Your file MBH, Rev. War, W.26639, under date of October 2, 1913, you gave me the record of Daniel Jackson who enlisted as a Minute Man June, 1776 from Hanover Twp., Morris Co., N. J., who married Mrs. Sarah T. aitsworth [written in] Campbell Oct. 6, 1831, who was allowed a pension on her application executed Nov. 18, 1853, at which time she was a resident of Marrow County, Ohio, aged 85 years.
Will you be so very kind as to state at what age she died?  It is believed that she lived to be 104 years of age, but now it is disputed that she was but 98 years at herdeath.  The record of the Pension Office will be accepted.
Thanking you for past courtesies, and with grateful anticipation of an early reply to this enquiry, I am, Very respectfully yours, [signed] William H. Barnhard

Dear Sirs:  Referring to the attached letter in regard to the record of Daniel Jackson, Minute Man, may I ask also for a record of the first husband of Daniel Jackson's widow.  The facts I have are below:
"Benjamin Campbell fought in the Indian wars or else the Revolutionary War, having possibly enlisted from New Jersey, but after these wars he settled on a farm in Shamekin Valley, Northumberland County, Pa., possibly near Elysburgh, Pa., where in 1787 he married Miss Sarah Taitsworth to whom were born ten children.  Benjamin Campbell died in 1823 and was buried at Elysburgh, Pa., five years thereafter his widow married Daniel Jackson referred to above."
ALSO
"John Taitsworth, Minute Man, War of the Revolution, called to duty several times and moved about frequently to be under the protection of the Army from the Indians hired by the British.  He married Lakah Belemere or Bulmer.  He came origianlly from Liverpool, England and settled and married near the present site of Princeton, New Jersey, but later moved to or near the present site of Packsinie, Northumberland County, Pa., where he farmed to the day of his death in February, 1800."  Possibly his war record would be found under the Indian Raids of John Butler about 1777.
ALSO
"Robert Campbell, soldier Revolution, wounded in leg at Long Island in August 1776 and thus crippled for life: married Miss Mary (or Polly) Reynolds and had eight children: he died and was buried at Elysburgh, Northumberland County, Pa.  He may also have enlisted from New Jersey."
I hope that you may have the good fortune in locating these persons that you had with Daniel Jackson, and with great gratitude, I am,
Very respectfully yours, [signed] William H. Barnhard.

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request photostatic copies of papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 26639, based upon service of Daniel Jackson in the Revolutionary War.
Because of the frail condition of the papers in the above noted pension claim, it is deemed inadvisable to have photostatic copies made.
Inasmuch as various historical, patriotic and genealogical societies have accepted official reports from this office as authentic, it is  hoped that the report furnished you on July 15, 1932, will be sufficient in your research; a very careful examination of the papers was made at that time and the data found therein were incorporated in that report.
Very truly yours
