Sir,

Enclosed please find addition-
al evidence in support of the claim
of Rebecca Hagan dec. widow of Ra-
phael Hagan decd. late of Kentucky.

I do not know whether the claim
was originally filed under the act
of 1836 or 1838.

The enclosed family record I
think will be satisfactory to prove
the marriage long prior to 1794,
and as the husband was a pensioner,
there can, I presume, be [illegible]
objection to the allowance of the
widow's claim.

I have written to Kentucky
for a certificate of court as to
death & heirship, which will
doubtless be received before the
case comes up for examination.

Be it remembered that at
a County Court held for Jefferson County at
the Court House in the City of Louisville on the
30th day of August 1852, the following order
was entered of record:

Satisfactory proof was this
day made in open Court, that Rebecca Hagan
decd, widow of Raphael Hagan decd., late of
Nelson County in said State, departed this life
on the 27th February 1844, leaving the following
surviving children [illegible] Susannah and Theresa
Lilly, Basil Hagan and Joseph Hagan
and the said Basil has since died
leaving children--

In testimony whereof and

thereof have hereto set my

Washington, Decr. 6th 1852.

Sir:

Enclosed please find additional evidence
in support of the claim of Rebecca Hagan
decd. wide of Raphael, of Ky. for the
benefit of the act of 4th July 1836-

The evidence which I now present,
in connection with the evidence I filed
on the 25th August last, will be found,
I think, amply sufficient to establish
the claim.

On the 25th Aug. I filed a family record,
of undoubted antiquity and authenticity
showing the birth of a child on the 1st
of January 1873.  As said Ralph Ha-
gan was, certainly in service [begin underlining] as late
as 20th April 1782 , [end underlining] and probably as late
as 1st January 1783--the birth of a child
on the 1st January 1783 is presumptive evidence
that the marriage took place prior
to the last period of the husband's service,
according to the long established rules
Page 21

rules of the Pension Office.  The marriage
is alleged to have taken place in 1778; and
one witness, James Spalding, testified
in 1844 that he has know the parties in the re-
lation of husband wife for sixty
five years --(since 1779).

You will please observe that the cer-
tificate of the Regr. of the Land Office at An-
napolis leaves it in some doubt whether
said Raphael Hagan served after the 20th
of April 1782 or not.  The rolls show that
he was paid to 1st January 1783, but a
note opposite his name shows that he was
discharged 20th April 1782.

I do not regard it as material whether
he served after the 20th April 1782 or not,
although I think the presumption is very
strong, that he in fact served to the 20th April
1783, as he was a war's man, and the
war ended at that time.

There can be no doubt, however, that
he served more than two years prior
to [following crossed out: 1st January] 20th April 1782.  Unfortunately, the
rolls do not show the date of his enlist-
ment.  The first account they give of
Page 22

him, is of his being taken prisoner 1st August
1780.  It is certain therefore, that he was
in service prior to that date.  The hard
evidence shows that he in fact served
6 or 7 years.

Very respectfully

Raphael Hagan departed this life in the month of August in the
year 1826 as well as this affiant now remembers. The said
Raphael Hagan Decd. left Rebecah Hagan his widow, with whom
this Deponent was well acquainted for many years prior to the

married the affiant verily believes and supposes from what he has heard
them say frequently in their life time were married in Charles County
State of Maryland.  Affiant has known them both for upwards of
forty five years having lived as neighbors to them for that length of
time, and thinks from the age of their oldest child they have been

Dear Sir:

Your letter of the 3rd Inst., was received and I herewith
send you [following word crossed out: enclosed] a certificate from the muster and pay rolls of the
Revolution, which is all the evidence they afford of the service of
Raphael or Ralph Hagan. Upon the muster roll, and upon
the Bounty land record, awarding him land from Maryland for
his Revolutionary services, the name is entered as Raphael Hagan,
but upon the pay roll it is entered Ralph Hagan.  I should think
from an examination of the rolls, there could be no doubt, it was the
same person and that some mistake was made in entering his name.

The papers you sent me are herewith returned.
