G.C. Ames, Esq.
Sir, Yours of the 28. [illegible] containing
Certificate of Mrs. E. Rice has been duly noted and much better than I expected as I thought  
the Rule made the same payable from the perfecting of the application Some three or four days since I drew up and sent her another declaration to be made in open court of record, and, But on this 4, Inst, on receiving her Certificate I countermanded the same, and sent her a declaration of Identity to be executed and returned to me, to be presented at the Agency of Philadelphia for the payment of $192.50, the amt. due to the 4, day of Sept. 15/ Making 4 of 7, me.  When you receive this will you please fix our fees, nor never seen her, her son who resides in this County some 30 miles distant spoke to me in relation to the matter, but not anything said abt the fees, as I supposed there would be nothing, coming ok the present.   In the case of Charity Hineman of Rhone county Virginia formerly of Lewis County Vig.  My first intimation of the family was in the Early part of 1856.  I was as you will recollect writing to the Family of Saml Z. Jones whose name I found suspended on the Rolls of Lewis, Co Via Act of 7. June 1832, (in which case I sent you a Power oF Atty.  I think you gave me the statement of Jone's Services. I made   an effort to establish the Recorded Evidence but abandoned the claim, through the Jones family, the Hinsman family heard
Page 32

of me and wrote me setting forth the services of Henry Hinsman in the American Revolution, claiming Services of 6 or 7 mo in 1779 or 1780 as a volunteer or enlisted soldier, in Capt Gray's Company and under Col Proctor, entered the service at Philadelphia Pa, that at the expiration or subsequent the said services; he enlisted for 3 years or during the War, and thought the name of his Captain was Kennedy & under Col. Butler, and was discharged at  Philadelphia after the close of the war, but that in consequence of age and Superanuation she might be mistaken as to the dates and name of officers.  One which letter she states the time of her Husbands death, marriage and etc and interrogated me if she was not entitled to the Pension from the 
State of Pennsylvania, as her husband belonged to the Penna Line.  Whereupon I drew up a petition for her to the Hon. Legislature and Senate of Penna, which she executes and returns to me.  I forwarded her petition to the Hon. Bodies. asking that her name might be inscribed in the Pension Roles of Pa, in accordance with the laws of the State, in such case made and provided this petition was not granted, as it did, or was not accompanied with the required proof of Service to bring it within the Rule of Said Hon. Bodies, To Mt. affidavits of credible persons or Record evidence of Service in the Revolutionary or Indian War (This was my mistake and I supposed that the committee on pensions would cause a dilligent search to be made in the Auditor Genl. & secretary department, for the record evidence of said service as alledged, the petition was returned
Page 33

to me, then in the Early part of last winter, 1857.  I thought I drew up for her a similar or facsimile petition, and sent her, for her to execute which she did and returned it to me I think in the month of March or earlier.  I sent said second petition to J. Brown one of our members in the Legislature, and with it I sent the first petition also, and asked that the committee on pensions would cause search to be made among the Roles & Records of Penna, for said Military Services.  And if the same was found satisfactorily to this Hon. Bodies, that the pension and gratuity might be granted on the first petition, and made payable from the First of January 1856.  This however did not come within the Rule.  But a Gratuity of $40 was granted$40 per annum during the Life or Widowhood, on the Second petition.  The Secretary of the Commonwealth at the request of Mrs. Brown, sent me a certified copy of Said law granting her [illegible] and State pension fees $1.  Approved on the 24 day of May 1857, No. of Act 627, page 593.  This I sent said widow Some time perhaps in April.  I received from Mrs. H, a declaration for B. L.  Which I sent you the date of said declaration I am unable to give but subsequent thereto, that is to the time of sending you her declaration, I wrote Mrs. Brown to make search in the Aud Genl. & Secretary department for said services, as claimed by said widow and of Found to procure a Certificate of the same and send you, as her Atty to be filed with her declaration.  I think he informed that he had
Page 34

disclosed to be sent you at Washington in addition to this but I suppose in mistakes he also procured an exemplification for me from the Secretary's department, under Seal dates the 4 day of May, 1857, $1.25 fees--or this he may have procured to accompany the petition before the committee on State pensions and being of no further use, was sent me to be refunded the fee of $1.25.  I am unable to say.  This I am certain of, that there was no exemplification sought for at the Auditor Genl. or Secretary departments until after she executed her declaration for B. Law and it was sent you, as I depended on the Committee of Pensions to examine for the Record Evidence so far as her claim in Pa. was concerned or on my friend Brown, he sees that the some was procured if of Record, and observed we did not expect the State to pension her unless she could come within the Rules.  The Certificate of Services is not such as I would expect to procure in the case, on her application for a thorough examination of the departments , at Harrisburgh, with a view to procure anything except State pension and Bounty Law, 4 months services in the Pa Line Revolutionary or Indian Wars is sufficient to entitle the Widow or Soldier to gratuity and State pension and if I had asked for an examination it would have been in reference to a pension from the U.S. $ I think [illegible] have found the Services of 3 years, Certificate copies of the papers in the file at Harrisburg cam be procured, if required, I took but little interest in her claim to Bounty Law as you was her Acting Attorney therefore I have no dates, or notes in relation to it.  
Respt yours

Hon. G. C. Whiting,
Comr. of Pensions

Dear Sir,
Impelled by a sense of duty, due my client, Mrs. Charity Hinesman ([??] Widow of Henry Hinesman) whom your honor placed on the pension Rolls under the Act of 29 July 1848, No of Certificate 1251. You will pardon me for again troubling you in relation to this claim knowing your disposition to grant the same if on a thorough examination of the Record evidence, connected therewith it should be for mentioned which I doubt not will receive due attention.  On a reexamination of the Rolls of Col. Proctor's Art. in 1780 and those of Col Heister in 1782, I do not find the name of a single soldier on the Rolls of Col. Proctor to be entered on the Rolls of Col. Heister except.  Except that of the said Henry Hinesman which to me is strongly conclusive that the Rolls indicate two separate and distinct tours of Military duty.  Again I find that Andrew Shaffer, who enlisted out of the Seven months recruits raised in Phila County of Col. Heister, enlisted in 1782 and served during the war, in one of the Pa. Regiments,
Page 68

I think the sixth, for which service the State of Pennsylvania in pursue and of has laws granted unto the said Andrew Shaffer, a Tract of Donation Land containing two hundred acres.  And No 1682 in the Eighth district of donation lands

In your Honers. Certificate or circular, under date of Jany 9./60, you state that the view of this office is that all the Certificates furnished refer to the services for which he was paid the Lb. 17.18s.  That he might have been originally in the Militia, and before any since was performed, transferred to the line, there is no evidence his service in 1782.  The date from which I draw the inference of such service, is the date of the Return, not of the service. 
If on a reexamination of this claim you find the names of soldiers on these rolls referred to be the same or any part thereof except that of said Henry Hinesman, your view would appear more plausible.  There can be no existing doubt but that he performed the tour of Seven Months, in the Company of Capt. Gra Col. Proctor's Art.  And if you find that said Andrew Shaffer, enlisted out of the Company of Recruits, retained by Col. Heister, in 1782 on which H. Hinesman's name is contained it would be equally evident that he was in the service, at this date, also.  There was also a Recruit of Soldier Named ---Miller, on said
Page 69

Roles of Col. Heister.  Who also enlisted out of said company, to serve during the War.  But for the want of his given name, I am unable to trace his services further.  I have heretofore remarked that the labor of finding certificates of pay received by the soldiers in the Pennsylvania service is a very laborious and tedious task, as the original certificates are pasted in large volumes of blank Books, and can only be found by turning over page after page, and thousands of tours of military duty was performed by the soldiary in Penna in that war for which they never had any pay.

I think by referring to the date of the enlistment of said Andrew Shaffer and Miller, that it will show conclusively that h. Hinesman was in the service in 1782.  

Respt. Your
Humble Servt.

To The Hon.
G. C. Whiting,

Comr. of Pensions
Sir,
Your written circular under date of the 24, [illegible] was duly Rec'd In relation to the application of Mrs. Charity Hineman for increase of United States Pension, by which you intimate the opinion that the pay indicated  by the certificate of the Auditor Genl of Penna of Lb 17. S10, is the service for which she had already been allowed a pension.  This may be true as that amt. of payment equal Seven months pay & may be for the service rendered in 1780 in the company of Capt. Gray attached to Col Proctors Artillery.  Best may not be equally as likely designed to apply to his services in 1782 as per return of seven month months men [illegible] by Col. Daniel Heister, Sr. Battalion of Pha County Militia.  The two certificates each showing a service of seven month, the rolls of the one on file in the
Page 71

Office of the Secretary of State department.  Hearing the service of her husband Henry Hineman in 1780 in Col Proctors Artilery,  On which she rec'd a pension and gratuity from the State of Penna Bounty Law from the U. S. under Act of /55.  and U. S. pension as per act of July 29/48, the other container on the files of old rolls remaining in the Auditor Genl department of Penna showing a separate and distinct service of  seven month, on rolls returned of seven months men, furnished by Col. Daniel Heister, Sr. Battalion of Philadelphia County Militia, Sept. 1782 as per, certified copy from said office furnished your Hon.

The certificates of pay dues, and a/c letter, of Soldiers in the service of the State, in American Revolution, and contained in more than twenty volums or Blank Books of large size each blank page containing six or seven certificates of pay due certain officers or soldiers and posted to said blank pages in the Books, many of which have long since become loose and are lost.  Nothing now remaining except the number on the margin of said books, to
Page 72

indicate that such certificate of pay & interest had ever existed. The remaining index so imperfect, that the only way to making a thorough search for said certificate of pay is by examining those, those old much mutilated volumes, only page by page and certificate by certificate which requires more time and labor than any State officer could reasonably be expected to perform.

The increase of Pension for which she asks your Hon to grant, is based on the existing record evidence of Her Husband Henry Hineman's service as found on the rolls of seven months men retained by Col. D. Heister Sr. in September 1782 as a Philadelphia County militia man & which I presume is certainly not the senior on which she [illegible] the pensions & requests, (I ask the examination of the Hon Commissioner)

I would call your attention to the old family record in showing that the name was originally spelled Hineman and Hinman as found on the records of Col. Proctor.

Enclosed you will find the declaration of Charity Hinzman widow of Henry under the act of 29 July 1848.
Mrs. Hinzman claims a pension for service in the Pennsylvania Line in the War of the Revolution.  She states that her husband served a tour in what is known as the 7 mo service and after the duration of this term he again enlisted and served three years in Col Porter Regiment of Artillery.

Claimant has been allowed a pension by the State of Pennsylvania and also Bounty Land Warrant No 73598 for [illegible] acres in account of the service Mrs claimed.  Evidence of which as will in of her identity and marriage will be found in her papers, and which her [illegible] was issued

The Certificate of the Auditor of Pa. shows that Henry Hinzman entered the service in June 1780 for /mo. and that he is found in the Decree returns for that year

that service, I believe; [illegible] to terminate on the [illegible] following, which would make something [illegible] 6 mo. as to the three years since no evidence from the records of that state has been furnished me by Mr. F F A Wilson of Meadville, who sent me the claim.
