Sir

Enclosed is the declaration of Mrs Anna Holt, widow, of Jonathan Holt late of this town deceased, claiming a pension under the late law of Congress, extending the benefits of the pension act of '32 to the widows of dec'd officers and soldiers of the revolution; also the evidence required by your Department, to substantiate her claim. As Mr Holt rec'd a pension under the Act of 1818, and as the evidence of his service is in your Department, it has not been deemed necessary to prove more than the marriage, and the service after said marriage, together with the fact that the said Mrs Holt has remained a widow.

As it was necessary under the Act of 1818 to prove only nine months service to entitle the applicant to a full pension, it is possible that Mr Holt did not prove service sufficient to entitle his widow, to a full pension, Should this be the case, you will confer a favor upon a helpless & dependent widow, by communicating to me that fact: and the necessary proof shall be forwarded without delay, as there is abundant evidence to be had of his service for more than two years. In early examination of the papers herewith transmitted will confer a favor upon, Your obt servt.

the son of Zebediah and

I am a descendant of said Jonathan Holt;
my object is to ascertain
definitely time and place
of service. also when his pension began and ceased

Gentlemen-

Will you
kindly give me some
information that I am
unable to obtain else-
where? [illegible] ancestor

Jonathan Holt, born 1750,
was in Rev. War
and his widow Anna 
Faulkner Holt drew a pension
after death of Jonathan. We have
his full war record, as we obtained
a copy when in Washington in 1896. The War Records
show that Jonathan Holt, was in
3rd Mass. Reg. Col. Jackson, also
in Mass Militia under Capt.
Gideon Burt. The widow Anna
Faulkner Holt drew a pension
until her death Aug. 31. 1842

1 Please let me know where the
pension money was sent in
Conn: 2 also whether the records
show parentage of said Anna?
We have reason to believe the
was of the Andover Falkner
Family.

I shall be greatly
obliged if you will reply
