Hon. Jacob Thompson, 
Secretary of the Dept of the Interior

Sir, 
I have the honor to state that by authority 
of the children surviving and the administration of the courts. Mrs. Milly Glaze, of Georgia, widow of Thomas Glaze, who made application for the benefit of the ( ) of July 4th, 1838 and who was allowed a pension of $46.66 for 14 months and then increased to about $64 per annum. a little over 17 months service to appeal from said decision, and that the case ruling be submitted to your umpirage for a full pension in that the payee be allowed the difference between the $64 or what has been allowed her, and the sum of eighty dollars per deium for two years service. The question of marriage and identity being wained, the only point in controversy is, did her husband the said Thomas Glaze render as much as two years service as a private in the war of the Revolution? and if so his widow should have been partied at eighty dollars per annum. As evidence that he did serve two years. I beg leave to call your attention to the certificate of the Comptroller of North Carolina inferred state by widow swore that he served first two periods of three months each, in 1776 and 1777, and then volunteered and served to the end of the war. This certificate having payments to Thomas Glaze covering a service of more than two years ( ).
Page 21

but the commissioner was not satisfied that they all referred to military service, and he addressed a letter to the Hon. Joseph H. Lumpkin stating that the comptroller of N.C. might throw some addt. light on this matter. Judge Lumpkin wrote to the comptroller who responded thus "I see nothing to contrary to the conclusion that they (the payment) were all made to the same man, at least they were all allowed to the same district, but the one of $17.1. Her first writes that the payments were for military service. As to the $17.1 which is refused therein the complication of her pension. I mark that this payment must have been to the same man as the comptroller suggests from the fact, that the entry is select as to their Thomas Glaze residence. It was for similar services as that claimed to have been rendered by one Thomas Glaze and there is no other Thomas Glaze found in the records. It is not at all probable that there were two per diem of his name performing the identical service behind the widow of our soldier claimed that her husband served the whole war. Again the Comptroller states entirely that all the payments were made to the same man. Her case is most respectfully submitted and I trust that this small
Page 22

pittance of about $16 per ann. about $280 in all be granted to the children.

I have the honor to ( ). Very humbly, 
H. Lumpkin
Ally.

P.S. All the hard evidence in this case show that our Mr. Glaze did serve faithfully for more than two years service, and this testimony is supported by the Hon. R. Toombs, USS

Brief in the case of Milly Glaze decd Widow of
Thomas of Georgia, Act July 7 1838 &c.
This case was allowed by the late Commissioner for 14 months service at $46.66 upon a Certificate of the N.C. Comptroller - That Certificate showed payments covering a service of over 17 months instead of 14, but
the Commissioner was not satisfied that they all referred to military service. The Comptroller writes to Hon J H Lumpkin that said payments were made for military services and all made to the same man, It is therefore, clear that the allowance should have been for 17 months & 9 days instead of 14 months or for $64.31 instead of $46.66

Sir.
In compliance with you request I have made a personal examination of the Case of Milly Glaze, widow of Thomas as to Act of 1838.
There is not in the case any direct evidence of service by the claimants husband in the Rev. war, but the evidence of long reputation  of such service, and particularly the certificate of the Hon Robert Toombs of the Senate, in connection with the certificate from the Comptroller of No. Carolina, render it, to the least, highly probable that he did serve.
   The extent of such service is more doubtful.  I do not think it can properly be assumed that the service of the claimant’s husband was of such extent as all the payments specified in the Comptroller’s Certificate, of for service alone, would indicate.  It seems more probable that some other payments were either for supplies or other than service, or made to different
Page 51

parties.  It is possible that the Comptroller may be able from the papers in his office to furnish further data which will aid in the determination of this point. You can make application to him for that purpose, or if you prefer.  I will make such an allowance as seems most probably correct from the certificate now in the [Illegible] which is for 14 months service, or $46.66 per annum. 
I await a reply from you before any further action.
Very Respt your Servt

Sir
Upon the appeal of Mr Thomas Lumpkin, of this City. I have the honor to enclose the papers in the case of Milly Glaze, dec? of Georgia.
      This case has been allowed, under the Act of 1838 & at the late of $64.81 a year. The original allowance was ordered to be made by my predecessor, Judge Minot. as the Examiner entertained strong doubts in relation to the validity of the claim (see Brief marked A which accompanied the certificate of Pension) the allowance was made upon the Certificate of the Comptroller of North Carolina, showing various payments to a man or men, bearing the name of Thomas Glaze (see paper marked  C) and the Declaration of Milly Glaze, with the affidavits of several witnesses, who declared her husband Thos was a reputed soldier t(see papers D & E) It is now too late to argue the propriety of the allowance already made-- though I do not hesitate to say I would not have ordered it. I think, however, that the allowance has been properly made, upon the assumption that the proof was sufficient to justify the admission of the claim for any thing 
   The Certificate of the Comptroller shows payments to the amount of $69. This amount exactly pays for 2 years service as a private of Infantry. The question naturally arises, why then
Page 57

was not an allowance for 2 years made. The answer is at hand! because it does not appear that all these payments were made to a man living in the Military District, in which it is claimed that Mrs Glaze's husband served. It is claimed that he served in Hillsboro. District, and it certifies that all the payments were made in that District, except the one for $17. 81. and the locality of that one is not known, Deduct $ 17. 18  from $69 and the balance of $51.19 is left which pays for 17 months & 9 days service for which pension has been allowed.

Mr Lumpkins argument, for including this $17. 81. in the compensation of pension, has at least, the merit of originality. He claims it because the [illegible] [Illegible]  a much longer period of service for her husband then these payments would indicate because the Comptroller does not show that the payment of $17.81   was made in another District than Hillsboro and because that officer do not find the name of more than one Thomas Glaze upon his books, The option of the first clause of his argument would be very convenient as it would preclude the neassity for the situation of testimony, but it would be still more convenient to unbolt the Treasury Vaults and [Illegible] claimants to satisfy themselves. The adoption of the second clause would be as reasonable as asking a dumb man if he did not agree with me, and when he did not speak, I should declare that his silence gave consent the custodian of the record does not know where this 17. 81 was paid
Page 58

And Mr. Lumpkin wrote for a me to prove that it was not paid in the Hillsboro District or at admit that it was.  I need not say that I can.  not to the first and I think in a claim of doubtful validity.  one which is not and never can be demonstrated to be just; the government should have the benefit of such a debt as is here presented, and therefore ought not to be compelled to omit the latter.    The third point in Mr Lumpkins argument is worth a refutation.  Mr. Lumpkin knows that the comptroller of North Carlina is not in possession of any Rolls of the militia of that State during the war of the Revolution.  His books simply show payments ordered to be made by a board of Examiners, appointed for that purpose for Military Service, and the Indent for the several amounts found out [Illegible] issued in [Illegible] of those who proved their service – and of a man neglected to prove the amount one for the service his name did not appear, though he may have served from the commencement to the close of the war. How can the Comptroller ascertain how many men of a given name were in service?  He cannot even ascertain that but one man was paid unless his books show but a single payment.  In the certificate before me are seven payments to Thomas Glaze.  These payments are scattered through several books. I am curious to know by what mark the comptroller can detect the fact that any two of these were made to one man.  This office, in a spirit of great liberality admits that six of them were made to one man, because they were all passed by the board of Commissioners that sat at Hillsboro’ and Mr Lumpkin is still not satisfied – Shall his cry of “give, give” be

 Sir
I have just received yours dated 14th Jney.  enclosing a letter from the Commissioner of Pensions, in the case of Milly Glaze widow of Thomas of Ga. In compliance with your request I have recomined the Records in this office, with reference to the evidence of the service of said Thomas Glaze, and have to state that I see no reason to change any statement in my certificate already given in said case.  I stated the payments as having been made for military services, and to the same man.  They appear on records as payments for military service, and I see nothing contrary to this conclusion that they were all paid to the same man, at least they were all allowed in the same district, but this one of $17.1 no additional evidence can be given as this entire records were thoroughly searched as the first instance.
Respectfully your obt.Servt.

P.S. you are at liberty to submit this to the Comiss.
