My dear Sir:-

It is barely possible that the name I desired in my letter of the 8th to which you responded on the 11th instant was Ebenezer Dickie 
(properly spelled Dickey). Some years ago you certainly did furnish me the record desired,
and I know exactly where it is, it being in my family Bible in Lakeland, Florida, but the house is closed for the Winter, and therefore, I have not access to it. The record you sent me showed that he enlisted in Rowan County, N.C., in Col. Graham's Regiment in I think 1782 for 90 days; that he re-enlisted and was in the battle called "The Battle or Raft Swamp"; that he married Miss Graham, emigrated to Simpson County, Kentucky and from that place drew a pension. He died there. He had some 8 or 10 children, one of them being named John, and this John in the course of time became
my grandfather, through being the father of my mother.

All this I remember off hand without the record before me. Would you do me the kindness to have another search made, as otherwise it will be necessary to have my house opened in Florida in order that I may secure the record which I desire. I am also writing the Adjutant General in this connection.
The matter is of considerable importance.

With very kind regard, I am, dear Sir,
Sincerely yours,
Herbert Drane

Dear Mr. Haymaker In looking over a newspaper clipping sent me by my cousin Hon. Herbert Draine of the House of Representive in 1914,
I see you have given him information concerning
Ebenezer Dickey who was born Pennsylvania in 1761

This information you desired from papers in Revolutionary War pension claim W. 8669.
Ebenezer Dickey's daughter Dorcas, born June 16-1793 married Richard Williams Simpson,
son of Capt. John Simpson of Simpson Co. Ky for whom the Co was named. I am especially anxious
Page 42

to know the date of this marriage also the
dates of the death of each and the birth of Richard Williams Simpson I copy this date
of the birth of Dorcas Dickey from the newspaper. If you are not in position to give me this date, perhaps you will be kind enough to refer me to some department from which
it can be obtained. I assure you this will be
greatly appreciated.
Thanking you

which require further proof or explanations

IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served? - yes

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 amount of pension he is entitled? - yes

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 than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades: For ----- year months and ----- days, I served as a -----
For ----- months and ----- days, I served as a 
----- and for such service I claim a pension."
Page 60

8
it is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which the applicant served 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 is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable.

QUERE XIV. There 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.
of the certifying officer who authenticated 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 end of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being properly attached to the certificate.

Sir

I have this moment received your letter of the 7th instant, and in answer one can say, that in application has been made for the pension due you since the 1st October 1833. There is now due for you one years pension, from the 4th September 1833 to the 4th of September 1834.
If you have lost your pension certificate you must establish the fact before a Magistrate get the Clerk of your Court to certify his being such and County seal annexed, & forward the Testimony to James L. Edward, Esq Commissioner of Pensions Washington Cty & request him to forward you a Duplicate certificate which he no doubt will do.
As you have not drawn for 12 months, when you get your certificate, you will have to give additional proof of your identity. The form for which I presume the Clerk of your County Court has no difficulty will then arise if your papers are properly prepared.
