To the Commissioner of
Pensions
Sir
your letter of 19 June 1851, states that "the
case of Jacob Doudel, dcd has been reexamined, and in
"present aspect there is no difficulty in admitting that one of
"the served 8 months. But none of the Witnesses identify the
"soldier with the father of the claimants they simply state that
" they know Jacob Doudel during the Revolution, and that he served
"certain terms, but have no connection between him and the said
"Doudel who died in 1837 leaving the children now applying for
"a pension". I herewith in accordance with the above note
submit the required proof, I cannot forbear however to
express my surprise that this case should have been in
the files of the office for more than five years and now
for the first time make this requirement. Other facts were
required and the proofs furnished but total silence on this important point of art set faith in the original application
By this letter above quoted, it is said that 8 months service
appears on the records of your office Jacob Doudel served
more than one year, proof which has been on your
files since 1845-- Philip Wombough gives the names of the officers
under whom Jacob Doudel served as a drummer, that they
served together for one year. The depositions herein
sent you of Adam Sightner
and John Hays Constoror
vouch for the truth of Wombaugh's statement
I therefore and hereby claim for the heirs one year service and not less. If the case cannot be taken up that is if the testimony now offend must remain on the files
take it turn as a new case. I do not feel their [illegible] their return

I this morning for the first time
saw your letter to Gen Job Mann, dated 10th 
subject of certain papers filed in support of the
claim of Jacob Doudel's heirs for Pension [illegible] papers etc
you say merely reiterate the proof on file and which
you have notified the agents is insufficient. The
paper handed over Mr. Mann tells me were addressed
to you & to his care this was a great mistake I put
them as I had thought in in M Manns hand merely
as copies of proof on file and for his benefit &
use for the time being with the expectation of receivng
these copies etc again I had M Mann yourself into
mistake I now most respectfully ask you to allow
me to repossess myself of these to me necessary
papers and to you as copies unofficial wholly
useless. Your early attention to this request will be of [illegible]. The record proof referred to in the letter of 10th [illegible] on earliest date is now being search
for at Harrisburg from whom I have for ten days past been looking for a reply.

two months militia service is established by record proof

Sir,
     I was in York Penn. On Tuesday last, General Doudel called upon me on the subject of his late father Jacob Doudel’s back Pension-claim illegible for the use of his children - was very urgent for a decision - I informed the General that the Gen Job Mann, had an interview with the Commissioner Mr. Heath, who agreed that if the proper officers at Harrisburg would give a certificate that there were no rolls of the Flying Camp in this office hearing there was the name “Jacob Doudel” and that the files of such rolls were imperfect, that he would grant the Pension - These certificates were obtained and filed, and I now respectfully repeat the request that the case be dispersed of - 
     Hon Job Mann told me that it was distinctly understood that a decision would immediately follow this production - on or about the 21 January- last these certificates were filed by Hon Mann with a promise of early action -
     -This claim was filed 5 years ago. Towit 10 April 1846.

      In compliance. With the request of A. M. Farquhar Esq of Washington City, I am directed by the Secretary of the Commonwealth to State that a careful search has been made through the rolls of the “Flying Camp” a portion of the Militia of this state called into the service of the United States at different periods during the Revolutionary War for the name of Jacob Doudel (underlined), but the name cannot be found, upon any rolls remaining in this office I am further directed to state that the Rolls of the “Flying Camp” remaining in this office are incomplete and imperfect, only three Master rolls of companies remaining on file. About one year since I was informed by Simon Steven’s Esq of Lancaster that several Rolls of the “Flying Camp” were in that city,  I think he stated, that some of them were in his possession.

Some time since I had an examination made last year respecting an application for a Pension for the services of Jacob Doudle [name underlined], of York County Penna in the Revolutionary War.  I think mentioned that there might be some Record proof in the Secretarys Office of Penna, but there cannot be found any there.

Mr. Farquhar who is acting as agent in this Case made further enquiry, by letter, at the Office of Auditor Genl, + has rec'd the inclosed certificate, showing there are no Rolls of the Flying Camp Service to be found there, + that the papers in the Office of the Secretary are only such as even not required in the Settlement of the Accounts between the State of Penna + the United States.

I submit the matter for your consideration, whether the Records in your Department are not sufficent to make out the case, in connection with the evidence produced, when the applicant shows there is not Record evidence that he can produce, then the next best evidence is to be taken, which is the Deposition of the Witnesses.

Dear sir
     Herewith I send you further proof of the service performed by my father during the Revolutionary War, my request is that you examine the declaration of Mrs. Philip Wanbaugh to whom you granted a pension many years ago, who is still living he says my Father performed the same kind of service and for the same time that he did during the War if you believe hi on his oath you must grant my Father the same amount of pension during his life, that you have to Mr. Phillip Wanbaugh they were both drummers - as you requested me in your letter to state the different tours of service my father performed during the war I have enclosed you such proof as I could get I shall expect if you do us Justice and grant us a pension for he amount due us up to our fathers death.

                      Respectfully yours

Dear Sir,

     I read your letter and noticed its content and in reply have to make the following remarks concerning the statements made in your letter:
    first you have stated in your letter to me that the different tours of service, performed by my father Jacob Doudel must be proved and the time for which he served during each tour.
    In reply to that request I refer you again to the declaration and the oath of Philip Wanbaugh to whom you granted a pension many years ago. He says that he performed the same kind of service that he did and for the same term
    You have his declaration in the pension office, if Philip Wambauch was entitled to a pension so was my father also for the same amt.
     In answer to your statement concerning the testimony of Michael illegible you say his testimony was not admissible because he did not obtain a pension himself.
     In reply to that I evasion I considered it very dishonorable and unreasonable in the extreme

(End of page)
Page 68

To make such an excuse as that.

     The reason Michael Weidner did not obtain a pension he was under the age of sixteen years a part of the time he served as a soldier he was a pensioner of Pennsylvania, and as you mean today that he is to a competent witness to prove the service of others have you not granted hundreds of pensions and the testimony of those who was never in service themselves.
     If you are not governed by any law or equity I wish to know it as you say Michael Weidner is guilty of perjury if you swear that I wish to know it and I will have the matter investigated before a higher tribunal than yourself where there is no recorded documentary evidence to prove the service of a soldier you have granted pensions on the testimony of one witness in many cases, so I am informed in in this case you have three witnesses all shown pensioners of Pennsylvania.  I am no pension agent and am not acquainted with your evasions, but am determined to prosecute this claim effectively.  All I want is the balance due me for the service of my father up to the day of his death you have the testimony of three witnesses in this case
(End of page)
Page 69

With which you ought to be satisfied without any further evasion in all I want is what is my right and when I get that I am satisfied and not until then and that I will have.
     I shall expect to here from you soon, no more as present -
Yours with respect
