make the following Declaration in order to obtain
the provision made by the Acts of Congress of
the 18th March 1818 and the 1st of May 1820
That he the said Lewis Webb entered as a Captain
of Marines in the Revolutionary War in the
service of the United States on the Continental

Captain James Markham and as such served the
Term of five years and six months; during which
time he was transferred to the Ship Comorant

to receiving his commission he had recruited 
forty four men to whom he paid the bounties
out of his own money (with the exception of

one hundred dollars bounty money he further
states that all the soldiers which were reconnoitered

during his servitude he assisted in the capture of
17 valuable [...illegible] which were sold in the Town of
Urbanna on the Rappahannock for a considerable
amount of which he received no part that
he hereby relinquishes  every claim whatever to
a pension except the present, that his name is
not on the roll of any state except the state of
Virginia, and that the following are the reasons
for not making earlier application for a
pension viz that when he heard the Acts of
Congress of the 18th March 1818 and 1st of May 1820
spoken of relative to pensioners he conceived he 
was able to support himself and family without
a pension, being at that time engaged in teaching
a small school and able to follow that occupation.

1820 I do solemnly swear that I was a residents

not, nor has any person in trust for me any
property or securities contracts or debts due to me,
nor have I any income other than what is
Page 27

contained in the schedule which is hereto
annexed and by me subscribed one cow two
Beds and furniture. I would further state that
I had no real Estate of any description whatever
on the 18th of March 1818 and at that time I had
about the amount of personal property named
in the above Schedule. I therefore state that there
has been little or no change in my property since
that time. I live in a small village in this
County - my occupation is a Teacher of a small
school of Ten Schollars I have living with
me a wife aged about forty five years and
very infirm, one Daughter named Catharine

Sir,
In the case of Mrs Lucy R. Webb widow
of Captain Lewis Webb dcd. referred to in your memorandum,
I have to inform you that she is not entitled to
a pension under the act of July 7. 1838. It would appear
that she was married after the termination of the revolutionary 
war, and that her husband died the 12th July
1841. The act of July 7. 1838 provides for those widows only
who were married after the termination of the service of
their husbands, and before the 1st of January 1794, and who
were widows at the time of the passage of that act.

I am respectfully

I herewith return the Pension
certificate of Lewis Webb, under the act of March

show that he served more than one year,
nor does his name appear on any of the
rolls of service in this office or at the
Treasury Department. Before his claim
can be allowed for full pay it-- must be
shown to the satisfaction of the Department
that he was commissioned as a captain of
Marines and that he served as such. The
probability is that he belonged to the State
service as there were no such vessels belonging 
to the Continental establishment as the
brig Jefferson and Ship Cormorant in which
he alleges to have served a part of the time.

Sir,

Lewis Webb of Kentucky was
placed on the pension roll several years
ago. I wish to know through whose agency
the business was transacted-- whether
it was not done by the
Hon. J. P. Moore .-

My object for making
this enquiry is simply this. One John
M. Waring has set up a claim against
Mr Webb for his alleged services in
procuring the pension -- Mr Webb says
that Mr Moore transacted the business
for him, and that Waring tendered
him no service whatever in that
particular.

of the Army of the Revolution.

BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled. That each of the surviving Officers of the Army of the
Revolution, in the Continental Line, who was entitled to half pay by the Resolve of
October twenty-first seventeen hundred and eighty, be authorized to receive, out of any
money in the Treasury, not otherwise appropriated, the amount of his full pay in said
line, according to his rank in the line, to begin on the third day of March, one thousand
eight hundred and twenty-six, and to continue during his natural life: Provided, That
under this act, no officer shall be entitled to receive a larger sum than the full pay of a
Captain in said line.

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That, whenever any of said Officers has received
money of the United States, as a pensioner since the third day of March, one thousand
eight hundred and twenty-six, aforesaid, the sum so received shall be deducted from
what said Officer would, otherwise be entitled to, under the first section of this act; and
every pension to which said Officer is now entitled, shall cease after the passage of
this act.

SEC. 3. And be it further enacted, That every surviving Non-commissioned Officer,
Musician, or Private, in said Army, who enlisted therein for and during the war, and
continued in its service until its termination, and thereby became entitled to receive a
reward of eighty dollars, under a resolve of Congress, passed May fifteen, seventeen
hundred and seventy-eight, shall be entitled to receive his full monthly pay in said service, 
out of any money in the Treasury, not otherwise appropriated: to begin on the

said Army, who is now on the Pension list of the United States, shall be entitled to the
benefits of this act.

SEC. 4. And be it further enacted, That the pay allowed by this act shall, under the
direction of the Secretary of the Treasury, be paid to the Officer or Soldier entitled
thereto, or to their authorized attorney, at such places and days as said Secretary may

or Soldier receive the same, until he furnish to said Secretary satisfactory evidence that
he is entitled to the same, in conformity to the provisions of this act; and the pay allowed 
by this act shall not in any way be transferable, or liable to attachment, levy,
or seizure, by any legal process whatever, but shall enure wholly to the personal benefit
of the Officer or Soldier entitled to the same by this act.

SEC. 5. And be it further enacted, That so much of said pay as accrued by the provisions
of this act, before the third day of March, eighteen hundred and twenty-eight,
shall be paid to the Officers and Soldiers entitled to the same, as soon as may be, in the
manner and under the provisions before mentioned; and the pay which shall accrue after

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, MAY 28, 1828.

The "Act for the relief of certain surviving Officers and Soldiers of the Revolution,"
approved on the 15th day of May, 1828, (of which the foregoing is a copy,) will be carried into 
effect under the following regulations:

Each Officer claiming under the act will transmit to the Secretary of the Treasury a
declaration, according to the form hereunto annexed, marked A, and each Non-commissioned
Officer, Musician, and Private, according to the form marked B showing particularly
in what manner he is entitled to the benefit of the said act, accompanied by
the oath of two respectable witnesses as to his identity, which oath is to be taken before
a Justice of the Peace, or other Magistrate, duly empowered to administer oaths in the
Page 61

2

State or Territory in which he resides, and authenticated under the seal of the Court of
the County in which the oath was administered, as shown in the said form.

Each Officer will also transmit his commission, if in existence and attainable, and
each non-commissioned Officer, Musician, and Private, his discharge; which documents,
after being registered, will be returned. If the commission or discharge has been lost
or destroyed, he will transmit such other evidence as he may possess or can obtain corroborative
of the statements set forth in his declaration.

If the evidence transmitted, taken in connexion with that afforded by the public records
at Washington, be found satisfactory, the amount of two years' full pay, at the
rate to which the Officer or Soldier was entitled, according to his rank in the line, at
the close of the war, or at the time of his reduction, (as the case may be,) but in no instance
exceeding the full pay of a Captain in the Continental Line -- will be transmitted
to him, at the place of his residence, after deducting therefrom the amount of any pension
which he may have received from the United States since the third day of March,
1826. He may, however, authorize any other person to receive his pay; in which case,
he will execute a power of attorney, according to the annexed form, marked C. which
must be acknowledged before a Justice of the Peace, or other Magistrate, and authenticated
under the seal of the Court of the County, in the same manner as is already prescribed
in regard to declarations. But no payment will be made to any such attorney,
until he has made oath, according to the annexed form D. that the pay which he is authorized
to receive, is intended to enure wholly to the personal benefit of the Officer or
Soldier whose attorney he is.

It is requested that all letters to the Secretary of the Treasury, on the subject, may
be endorsed on the cover ""Revolutionary Claims."
