Commissioner of Pensions

Sir, yours of 28th August  requesting to be informed in what regiment or company William Haney served-in order that a proper investigation of the rolls may be had. So as to make a decision in the case of his madam.  Susanna Haney who had applied for pension under the act of July 7 1838 duly received and in answer I have to State 
1. William Haney belonged to the Maryland Artillery and was probably commanded by Capt. Nathaniel Smith and that after the transfer of the Maryland Artillery to the Virginia line he was probably commanded by Col. Stother to whom his certificate was delivered (Mr. George Brewer, Annapolis informed me that the Maryland Artillery were to few in number to form a Regiment and were transfer'd to the Virginia line and that he has no master rolls in his office relative to them however, has the name of Nathe Smith as a capt of in the early part of the Revolution (who was promoted to a Major at Fort McHenry and whose widow I have been informed has rec'd a pension under a former name?
2.  William Haney received bounty land from Maryland. (See Mr Brewers certificate now with you) And by referring to the laws of Maryland under which bounty lands were granted-it appears to be this entitled that he enlisted and served faithfully three years. See Kilty laws of Maryland 1777 chap 8-sec 4.9 in 1788, Nov Session, chap 44.

3 - He as a Matross of the Virginia State line
received [symbol for British pound]52.16.3 in a final settlement of his
account with Virginia for which sum a certificate
was delivered to Col Strother.  See J E Heaths letter

4 - He recd from the State of Maryland [symbol for the British pound]75.0.3
depreciation pay as a Maltross of the Maryland line
on the 31 March 1783.

To all of which we may add that his
widow and others who personally knew him
all agree in the belief that he served for during
the war.

Trusting that you will on examination
be fully satisfied, as I am, in regard to the extent
of his services, and that I shall soon have
the pleasure of informing his venerable widow
that her claim is allowed.

I am most Respectfully
Your Obt. Servt

My Dear Sir

Some time in Nov
ember 1848 an application
was filed in the Pension
Office by "Michael Deen" of
this [illegible] for a claim due
by the government to Wm
Haney of Baltimore on
account of services rendered
by this father Wm Haney as
a soldier in Revolutionary
War.  He was attached to
the Maryland line.

Deen has got into some difficulty
here in regard to this Pension
business and Haney is fearful
that Dean may deceive the
man.  You will do me
Page 15

a great favor by informing
me by return mail how
the matter stands.

Haney desires that no money
shall be paid to him.

Please let me hear from
you by return mail and 
oblige.

Yours truly

I have recd. yours of the 31 ulto &
hasten to answer it.  It appears by the army records
that Wm Haney settled his account in this office
as a Maltross of Artillery [language scratched out] in the state line
and received a final settlement certificate for
[symbol for British pound]52.16.3.  It does not appear under what officers
he served, nor how long.  Neither does it appear
that he ever received land bounty.  His final
settlement certificate was delivered to Col Strother.
