I a few days ago saw Mr. N.

Mrs. Corben (the applicant) desires the draw of the application of her said husband May be Examined, and claims the advantage of all the Evidence therein filed; she in her application refers to the papers filed in case of the application of her said husband (for pension) under Act of 7th June 1832, - for proof of her right to pension.

for answear to your letter of 9th inst, permit me to say, I think the papers of the application of Elisabeth Corben, widow of Anderson Corben a revolutionary pensioner of U.S have not been examined very particularly, She applied for the benefit of the Act of 29th July 1848; in her said declaration she testified that Anderson Corben her said husband, died on the 1st day of March 1845, and Submitted the affidavit of Josinah Gawthrop, who was present at the death of said husband, (the aforesaid Anderson Corben) was on or about the 1st day of March 1845, and that he left a widow, Elisabeth Corben (whose application for Pension it accompanied) and that she had remained his widow Ever Since the death of her said husband.
She also sent the Certificate of the Clerk of our County Court [illegible] that she was married to Anderson Corben on the 10th day of March 1789.
Her declaration, Certificate of Clerk of her Marriage. Affidavit of death of husband & her widowhood. and the power of attorney to her was all upon the same sheet of paper, perhaps you have overlooked part.

Sir
Upon the subject of the claim of Anderson Corbin, I have still to state, that the evidence is not Satisfactory that he served in the militia from Apl 1781 to Apl 1782. When I observed Mr. Cottrills affidavit who says he served with Mr. Corbin for six months, I looked upon the pension roll under the Act of June 7 1832, as the service here attended to, was militia service: But it seems by his papers, that Cottrill claimed to have served between three or four years in the regular army, and was discharged in 1781.
From the nature of his service, he could not have served with Mr Corbin in the manner which his affidavit is calculated to impress upon the mind
I cannot therefore, under my present view instruct the agent to resume the payment for Mr. Corbin's pension.
I am Respectfully

Sir:
Anderson Corbin alleges to have served after the year 1781 two tours of Militia duty of six months each, and was allowed $40 - as I now think improperly. I have no knowledge of the Militia of Virginia having been required to serve in tours of longer duration than 3 months, unless: at a very Early period of the war, or on the west of the mountains.
The payment of his pension cannot be resumed until a Satisfactory Explanation is given in the mean time he had better return his certificate to the office -
I am Respectfully
Your Ob. Servant

- That when he had as he now thinks been in service about 3 Months under Ms Anderson, there was a draft ordered, (he now was in the region of Richmond) a certacon Number to be taken from each Company, to Go out as rangers, there that region of Country to keep the British from plundering,- he states that out of the Company which he belonged to 17 was Called upon,- they refused to stand a draft,- but that he & 16 others Volonteered out of Andersons Company, and were placed under the Command of Colo Edmundson,- Thinks there were about 100 under Edmunsons Command, who ranged thrue the Country C-, After they had been out as above a short time, they under sto
that Capt Anderson & his Company had Gone home,- The 17 which had volunteered out of Andersons Compy - there demanded their discharge, but was told by Genrl Mulenburg, that he Could not discharge a single individual,- and that he did not Get his discharge untill he served out 6 months as stated in his original declaration,- he further states as to his Second Tour of 6 Months,- that he knows not why he was delaired

in Services for 6 months,- but that the service was performed,

I have not the smales shaddow of doubt resting on my mind,- but tat Mr Corbin done the servis set forth in his declaration,- he been Give a ful history of his servises in in both the Tours for one the Comonencment of each to the end which would take a days comtmg to write [illegible]
- he Commenced Giving Singleton a statement & was So manut & he [illegible], that Singleton stoped him, and only took depose from of the records of servises,- and told Corbin that he was satisfyed that he as entitled to all he was drawing, and could you on any other person who knows every thing about the R-War, Concur with him ten minets, would be fully Convince that his whole statement is true,

Sir
The explanation given by Anderson Corbin in relation to his two six months tour, is not satisfactory.
The statement itself is in direct opposition to the known historical fact, connected with the militia service during the period of the revolution. It can hardly be conceived that at a time when it was with the utmost difficulty that the militia could be kept embodied even for the short periods for which they were ordered out, that the claimant should have performed one year continuary service.
The claim is, in addition to the oath of the claimant, supported by the affidavits of Jno Cottril and Joshua Martin: - both swear that they "knew of then our knowledge of the greater part" of the alleged service, and the former, that he "served with Mr. Corbin the whole time of the first mentioned term", And yet I do not find that either of these witnesses are included upon the pension roll.

Sir have to repeat as I have heretofore to Mr Edwards,- that I have not the smalest doubt of mind, but that Mr Corbin done the 2 six months tours Set forth in his declaration, - you will recollect, the Last or first, (I dont now recollect which) tour was done as a substitute,- not withstanding the history of that period does not Set forth Such Service, - I still believe Mr Corbin performed it,-, I am & have been well acquainted with the him for 25 years: he is one of our most respectful farmers, and I think would not make a fals declaration for all the pension in the US- not only his owne State - most Concerns me, - but he has proven his service by two witnesses, who were both enlisted to [illegible] Credit, - Joshua Martin is one

Page 44

of our undithey, creditable, & substanseal farmers, who has served a neighbour to Mr Corbin ever since they were boath boys = they serve [illegible] to Gather before the bane to this Country, - Mr Martin knew of Corbins service in boath tours,- that is he knew of his Going into service once then he returned &c-, Martin was not in service him self, =,=, will what does Cottrel state, he states that he served with Corbin the whole year,- you say, you cannot find Cottrels name on the pension roll, the same John # Cottrel has been drawing a pension of $80 per year ever since the 1st day of February 1825 his certificate is dated 14th day of February 1835 -he is drawing under the laws of 1818-1830 & 1823 - 
- Mr Cottrel I have been informed, proved a part of his servis by sd Corbin, = I do not know that to be the cases,=
I am fully satisfyed that injustice will be done Mr Corbin should he not be returned,- The history of the the three times, may be against him,- but I think they should not in all cases be depended upon,=

In reply to your letter of 14th inst, permit me to say that the death of Anderson Corbin, was  proven by the affidavit of Mrs Josinah [Josina] Gawthrop (who is the daughter of the said
Anderson & Elizabeth Corbin) as was also the fact of the applicant, Elizabeth Corbin being the widow of the said Anderson Corbin decd [deceased] : However the fact of the applicant
Elizabeth Corbin being the widow of Anderson Corbin decd [deceased] who was a revolutionary pensioner of U.S. and the time
of his death, can again be proven.
But to permit me to express wonder as the
strangeness of your letter of 14th inst; If there is in the pension office, any paper by which the accuracy of a witness, who may swear to the death of the said Corbin can be tested there must be evidence of his death among the archives of the Government Why require
other or more?

Elisabeth Corbin widow of Anderson Corbin (who applied for the benefits of Act of 29th July 1848) received as his widow the amount of pension due for said husband, at the time of this death which will appear by reference to the papers, filed, doubtless in the proper office.

Mdadm:-
In response to your letter dated the twenty-first ultimo, in regard to the maiden name of the wife of Anderson
Corbin, W. File No. 6739 Rev. War, you are advised that the papers in the claim show that on September 5, 1854, the Clerk of Harrison County, Virginia, certified that the following was a true extract from his office: 

"Married March 10, 1789, Anderson Corbin and Elizabeth Harris 
Celebrated by John W. Loufborough D.D."

and a recent consolidation of all Revolutionary War pension and bounty land claims shows that in her application for bounty land executed May 9, 1855, Elisabeth Corbin, then a resident of Boone County, Kentucky, alleged that she married Anderson Corbin on
the tenth of March about seventeen hundred and eighty eight, and that her name before her marriage was Elizabeth Haines.

Anderson Corbin was born in King George County, Virginia moved from there to Culpeper County, thence to Hampshire County

Page 59

where he was drafted into the service, and from Hampshire he moved to Harrison County, Virginia where he died.

A careful search of the Revolutionary War records fails
to afford any information in regard to any Francis Corbin.

Very respectfully,
Commissioner.

The Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D. C..

Dear Sir:
I wish information of Benjamin Kendrick, [handwritten "W.9098"] who served in the Revolutionary War as Private under Captain John Gillison and Colonel John Green. I am very anxious to know the maiden name of his wife.

I also want to know whether Francis Corbin served in the Revolutionary War. Tradition says he was Quartermaster. I think he was born in King George County, Virginia, but do not know from where he enlisted, or under whom he served. I know that he lived in Culpeper

Page 69

County, Virginia soon after the war, and may have enlisted from there.

Please tell me if the maiden name of [handwritten, "W.6739"] Anderson Corbin's wife was Harris, of Haines. Anderson Corbin served under Captain Thomas Anderson and Colonel Edmondson. He enlisted from Hampshire County, Virginia. There seems to be some mistake about the maiden name of his wife.

I shall be very grateful to you for all the information you can give me concerning the above mentioned persons.

Very respectfully,
Mrs. Milton Trundle.

It is known that he received a pension, but it might have been for the "War of 1812" I though by his receiving a pension his name must be on the pension roll, or list. As to Francis Corbin, whome I am more anxious to learn of, I do not know where I could find his name, but no doubt you will. Some say they lived

I write to thank you for the valuable information of Anderson Corbin during the Revolutionary War. It was very kind indeed of you to send me the information, & I appreciate it very much. I was surprised to learn that Anderson Corbin married, Elizabeth Harris, I have always been told the name was Haines instead of Harris. I have been trying for more than a year to learn where Anderson Corbin lived before he moved to Harrison Co. but never knew until I read the information from you. I can learn nothing of his history before he moved to Harrison Co. I am also unable to learn the name of his father. I have been told his name was Francis & that he was a Quarter Master.
