A relative of Mrs. Dorthy Dettiman the widow of John Dataman or Dettiman formerly of this county, his widow a pensioner since 1836 under the Untied States, is desi[r]ous of knowing under what law she was pensioned, what annual allowance was granted to her, and why her pay has ceased.  Likely she was pensioned under the act of July 7 1838 which is the cause of the discontinuance of her pay.  It may be necessary to state that Mrs. Detteman was an applicant from York County Penna.

Sir
The papers in the case of Mrs. Dorothea Datamer widow of John Datamer, decd, have been exd.  She alleges to have been married 3d July 1781.  Upon a re-examination of her husband's declaration it is found that a tour of two months is alleged to have been performed as a militia man of Pennsylvania in 1782, and that his company was marked to Philadelphia in said term and then discharged.  There was no such militia service performed.  The other alleged service was previous to her marriage.  The 3rd sec. of the act of 4 July 1836 does not provide for these widows who were
Page 37

married after the termination of their husband's military services.  The claim has therefore been rejected and the papers filed in this office.  The widow was after a pension under act 7 July 1838, for nine months upon her making a declaration as required in the enclosed printed sheet.
The papers in the case of Mrs. Barbara Murphy widow of John Murphy decd have also been examined and filed with suspended cases.  The denotant allegations should be more fully specified by the witnefses, who should state the regt and company, and he should also state how he became acquainted with the fact of the claimants' husband having served  as alleged.  It should also be more fully shown that the claimant is the identical person she represents herself to be.

Dear Sir,
I herby thankfully acknowledge the receipt of your letter, and form for making out pension papers, and herewith inclosed send another Declaration of Dorthea Datemer, Widow of John Datemer Deceased.  I will merely mention, that, at the time of drawing the first Declaraton for her I was well aware, that if the last mentioned tour had not been performed, that she would not be entitled to a pension under the act of 1836.  But at the time, she stated that, he was drafted and served a tour of two months after she was married, viz. in 1782.  Since I received your favour, I examined her closely and find that her husband was actually drafted as she stated, but hired a substitute, and had to pay him well for serving a tour in his place: from which she was under the instinct imprefsion that it was the same as if he had performed the duties himself.  I hope the enclosed, will be satisfactory, but should it not be, have the goodnefs to inform me of what should be wanting.
I remain Sir,
