Dear Sir: Was a widow's pension ever granted to a Mary Chatterton previous to 1848 after Husband is believed to have been a soldier in the American Revolution. I am not certain about his name but suppose it to be John.

I think his widow died in Stottsville, Quebec, Can or thereabouts. Her husband probably entered the service from New York. I would like all the information possible, as I am tracing up my ancestry with a view to joining the Son's of the American Revolution. Hoping to hear favorably from you, I remain,

Dear Sir

Sometime during the last session of Congress I sent to Mr. [illegible] one of our Representatives in Congress papers for the purpose of obtaining a pension for Mary Chatterton, Widow of Nathaniel Chatterton, of Vermont. He sent my letter to your office, and obtained a certificate and sent it to me. Having kept no memorandum of the residence of Mrs Chatterton, I am unable to determine where she resided, and therefore cannot send to her the certificate. I have heard nothing from her, and suppose she may be dead.

My request in writing is to request that you will inform me of the place of her residence if it is mentioned in any of

Page 45

the papers in your office.

Her certificate is for $100 per annum, for 5 years from March 4. 1836, dated the 27th of June 1844, and recorded in Book D. Vol 1 P 125
