       You will please herewith receive 
(enclosed) the declaration, in due form of an 
old Revolutionary soldier, asking of his Government

to receive.  I hope due examination will be

very low indigent situation in life, requires some

Sir
       I have been in possession of yours of the 
12th Nov. 1821 some considerable time but owing to there being no Court in Session 
in this County till the present week, I have been compelled to 
delay to this moment forwarding my return application 
to the Government asking what I know and fealter (?)
myself what you wife find I am justly entitled to 
for services rendered, in the times that tried Minzhouls
My declaration is not complete, I have not the most faint 
recollection of the name of the Cols I served under 
and I cannot give you any more or further information 
of the officers of the division to which I was attached than 
is contained in my declarations. The orderly Sargeant to the 
Company in which served a great portion of my enlistment 
was living about twelve months since in the State of Georgia

I hereby forward to you the declaration and accompanying 
papers, in order to adjust if possible, the claim of Benjm
Couch as administrator on the Estate of Hannah Carrol 
deceased, widow of Daniel Carrol, this being the first 
attempt I have ever made to adjust a claim of the same
nature, viz. where the husband who was pensioner of 
the United States died, leaving a widow, and the widow 
dying, without issue, there being no printed form, for me 
to be governed by in the code of pension laws. now in 
my possession, and truly at a loss to know in what 
manner to proceed, if the inclosed [sic] documents should not 
be considered satisfactory to the department, you will 
therefore have the goodness, at as early a day as convenient to 
examine the same, and transmit, a return by the 4th 
of September, should there be a want of formality in my 
undertaking in the adjustment of said claim, you will please 
forward to me the necessary instructions, and the case 
shall be duly attended to by your respectful able serv.

Sir  
                  It appears from an examination 
of the papers in the case of Hannah Carrell, 
widow of Daniel Carrell, of Lincoln County, Tennessee 
that the husband died on the 20 April 1837, and 
that she died in 1840. At the time when she died, 
she was not entitled to a pension, because the law 
of July 7. 1838, under which the claim was 
presented, was so construed that no widow 
whose husband was alive on the 7 June 1832 
was entitled to the benefits of the act of 1838. 
Until the act of August 23. 1842 passed, a widow 
was not entitled to a pention [sic] if under the act of 1838, 
if her husband was living on the 7 June 1832. There 
is, however, another reason for not allowing a 
pension. She left no children, and if she had 
been entitled to a pension, the money could not 
have been paid to an Executor or an Administra- 
tor. The law gives the amount due to the widow at 
her death to her her children only.

Sir 

    Enclosed you have two depositions intended as 
evidence in the case of Hannah Carroll widow of 
Daniel Carroll decd. late a Revolutionary pensioner of 
the United States. I presume the Declaration 
and 
original papers appertaining to Mrs Carroll's appli-
ation are on file in your office-- I am not 
acquainted Sarah Couch one of the deponents 
and consequently cannot speak as to her credibility.
    But with regard to Ebenezer Pickett Snr
the other deponent I have to state that I am and 
have been personally well acquainted with him
for the last eighteen or twenty years, reside 
in the same County with him.  And know him from
such acquaintance and from general reputation to 
be a man of unimpeachable truth and veracity 
whose statements are entitled to entire credence.

present as evidence "in the case of Hannah Car-

Sir
     Yours of yesterday date is before me. The information 
from which I infer that Hannah Carroll widow of 
Daniel Carroll decd. has asserted a claim to a 
pension in her own right is the following extract 
from the letter of Mr. Kercheval covering the
deposition I enclosed to you on the 4th June 
“The case was once before the department, but 
the department wrote that the proof was not 
sufficient to establish the fact of Marriage" 
    If in fact no application has been made and 
no declaration of Hannah Carroll can be 
found on file in your office you will be 
pleased to enclose me the necessary blanks 
                                   Respectfully

services of the said Danl. Carrell on the 
12th of March 1783, which warrant was 
issued on the Certificate of a field of-
ficer, certifying that said Carrell did  serve 
two and a half years.  The war-
rant is now filed in this office with an 
assignment thereon from Danl. Carrell to 
John Marshall, and on comparing the sign-
nature to the assignment with that to
his declaration I have no doubt it was 
written by the same hand.

Veterans Administration,
Bureau of Pensioners - Revolutionary War,
Washington, D.C. 

Gentlemen:- 

       The Sons of the American Revolution refuse to accept an 
application filed with them months ago until I procure copies of my 
ancestors' pensions, as authority for my claim. They say these are 
the only papers out to close a drive they had on till end of last year. 

      My ancestor on Father side was Alexander Weed whom 
I learn today thru a D.A.R. member that she had a copy FS CS File 
11717 Rev.War [sic] your Bureau, but had to surrender it to her chapter, so 
could not give me more, but the S.A.R. says they must have original copy 
from you. 

    The other ancestor is Daniel Carroll who served in S.C.,
I believe, as a Private, lived in Alabama, Tenn, etc. Received a pension
while in Cannon Co., Tenn, and was born about 1761-3. 

    Will you not therefore be so kind to let me hear from you
as soon as convenient, so that I run this off my chest? It long has
been my desire to have membership in the S. A. R. but had to buy it dear
these past months through writing all my relatives. It was worth it if 
you will put the finishing touches in my hand. 

                                 Sincerely yours
                                   J. M. Janes
