Sir:
Your communication
of the 10th August relating to the application
of Mrs Isabella Walters has remained unseen
because the applicant is inform and I allow
her what I do in the matter without compensation
could not currently leave my one intent to
attend to her.

There is no difficulty in truth but
only in appearance. Peter Walters was married 
to a former wife who deceased before his intimacy
with Isabella, the past applicant being two
children Joseph Walters & Mary Walters the
last born 1795. These children names are in 
the family register transmitted with the papers
as also the names of some others who were of the
same name under Aunts & cousin, that one
also in the said sub. This was all well
understood but not recorded in the listing first
recorded.

I now enclose the listing of Johan
Walters, one of the most respected men in
Morgan County taken before the same Judges
as you will perceive that was certified to before.
I did not deem it necessary to have
Page 37

a certificate as you will perceive it is genuine
by comparison with his former signature.

This accompanying listing does
not afor to the other names, that may be found
on the record transmitted, but accept as
the fact is for the two sets of children or
as it seemed to you on the two children
born before the marriage with the first applicant
and this I suppose does cure[?] the difficulty
and establish continuity[?] with the other listing 
that the applicant is the only wife living &
that she and was married before 1800.

I wish and 
with regards
Your obt svt.

Hon L. P. Waldo)
Comr of Pensions)
⎬
Sir

I enclose herewith the application (together
with a power of Atty in my favour), for increase upon the pension
allowed her dec. husband Peter Walters under the Act of June
7, 1832, from the 4th of March 1831 to the 15th of Feby 1834, and
upon her own pension under the act of July 29, 1848 during
her natural life. The evidence in support of this application, may
be found by careful examination on file in your office it appears 
that, Peter Walters entered the service in the Revy. War
in Fayette County Pa under Capt Scott was marched to
Pittsburg and placed in the Va continental service under Capt
Berry in the 1st or 13th Regt. in the year 1777. The Regmt was
commanded by Col Gibson & others (as there were frequent change)
but Walters appears to have been finally discharged in 1780, and
will be seen seen by reference to said discharge now on file
it is believed in the Pension Office Walters was first pensioned under
the act of March 18/18, at $96, dropt under act of May/20 and
again pensioned under act of June 7/32 at $40 per annum and died as above stated on the
15th of Feby 1834. His wife forwarded her pension certificate through the Hon Mr.
Gaylord to the Pension Office for the purpose of having her Pension increased
under the act of July 29/48, but it has by some means been lost. She now asks that the
Comm of Pensions will furnish a new Certificate at the increased rate, and
furnishes necessary Deposition for that purpose-- Mrs W. was informed by the Comm. that
having been pensioned at the same rate of her husband she was not entitled
to an increase- It will however appear that by some inadvertance the husband
was pensioned too low and ought to be increased to $80 per annum.

Yours Respectfully

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary
War records of the following soldiers: Conrad, Isaac ( 2 )
James, John (several), Joseph, Lewis, Peter, Richard (2), Spencer,
Thomas and Walters Walters, all of Virginia. You request if the
data in regard to these soldiers cannot be found in the books
listed by you, to be informed where it can be found.

The Revolutionary War data furnished by the Veterans Administration
are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land which
have been made to the United States based upon service in that war
and not from any printed lists such as those cited by you nor does
this office furnish information contained in printed lists.

There are no claims for pension on file based upon the service
in the Revolutionary War of a Conrad, Isaac, James, Joseph, Lewis,
Richard, Spencer, Thomas or Walters Walters nor of a John Walters,
of Virginia; the surname was searched under all spellings.

There was a claim made, however, by a Richard C. Walters based
upon his service in the Revolutionary War. There is also a claim
for pension on file based upon the service of a Peter Walters in
that war. The James Walters cited by you as a pensioner of Ohio
was erroneously listed. His name was James Watters.

Richard C. Walters
B. L. Wt.#2433-200

The records show that bounty land warrant No. 2432 for two
hundred acres of bounty land was issued on account of the service
of Richard C. Walters as lieutenant in the Virginia Line. Said
warrant was issued July 18, 1791 to George Chandler, assignee.

There are no statements on file which were made by this officer
Page 69

at the time of his application for land because of the destruction
of papers when the War Office was burned in 1800, therefore
this office has no further information in regard to him.

Peter Walters
W. 2029
The data which follow are obtained from the papers on file
in Revolutionary War pension claim, W.2029, based upon the military
service in that war of Peter Walters.

Peter Walters was born in 1761. The place of his birth and
the names of his parents are not shown.

Peter Walters enlisted in the state of Virginia, or in Fayette
County, Pennsylvania, January 28, 1777, or in October or November
, 1777 (both states and dates appear in the claim ), served
as a private in Captain Scott's Company, marched to Pittsburgh,
and was placed in Captain Berry's Company, Colonel Gibson's Virginia
Regiment and was discharged April 8, 1780, by Colonel Richard
Campbell.

About 1800 or 1801, he moved to Belmont County, Ohio.

He was allowed pension on his application executed July 13,
1818, while residing in Smith Township, Belmont County, Ohio.
On November 8, 1830, his name was stricken from the rolls on account
of his property. He was again allowed pension on his application
executed July 18, 1832, while residing in Manchester
Township, Morgan County, Ohio.

[handwritten note] Next time just use the 1818 statement & give residence in 1832. The letter from which this was copied was in reply to a letter of a different nature. MER45

He died February 15, 1834, in Manchester Township, Ohio.

The soldier married July 6, 1797, at Red Stone Fort (later
Brownsville), Fayette County, Pennsylvania, Isabella, maiden name
not given, who was born January 15, 1781. She was soldier's
second wife. There are no data in regard to the first wife.

Soldier's widow, Isabella, was allowed pension on her application
executed April 3, 1849, while residing in Manchester Township.
Morgan County, Ohio, at the home of her son-in-law, William Archibald, 
whose wife's name was not designated. In 1851, the widow
was residing in Noble County, Ohio.
