Dear Sir
At the request of Mrs. Susan Barrott widow of the late Solomon Barrott of the place, a musician in the Army of the Revolution + a pensioner, I write you for the purpose of ascertaining whether she would be entitled to a continuation of this pension or any portion thereof.

A notification was also sent him (no 1414) dated 4th July 1820, of the examination of the schedule of his property, and of the continuation of his name on said roll. 
Mr. Solomon Barrott died in this place on 6th December 1851 in his 87 year - was married three times had children by his two former wives + was married to his last surviving wife( Susan Robinson) on 25.th March 1834, by whom he left no issue. 
I have not been able to procure a copy [illegible] this town of any of the recent Acts of Congress to ascertain what will be necessary to be done, in case of Mrs. Susan Barrott's being entitled to her husband's pension in any part thereof, and am therefore compelled to tax your knowledge and time, to inform me on this subject, so that the anxieties of a poor & needy widow may be at once relieved + I am confidant there has not been any administration on his [illegible] and there will be none.

In Easton on Saturday, the 6th instant, Mr. SOLOMON BARROTT, in the 87th year of his age. 
(Cambridge Democrat please copy.
Another Revolutionary Soldier gone. –
It is with profound sorrow and regret that we announce the death of Mr. Solomon Barrott, a revolutionary soldier and patriot, and for a long number of years a highly respected citizen of Easton. He died about noon on Saturday last, in the Eight-seventh year of his age, and his remains were interred on Sunday afternoon, with every respect that became the occasion; --the Military, Odd-Fellows and citizens, all united to do honor to the memory of him who has so long been regarded as the connecting link between the present and the Revolutionary times. The funeral service was performed by Rev. Dr. Mason, pastor of the P.E. Church, and minute guns were fired during the ceremonies of interment; around of salutes was also fired over his grave by the “Easton Cadets.”
Mr. Barrott was a subaltern officer in Col. Howard’s Regiment, was with Gen. Green in his Southern campaign, and participated in the battle of Cowpens, Guilford Court House, Horse Shoe, Camden, and Eutaw Springs. He was a man of warm and patriotic impulses, and his ardent admiration of Washington amounted almost to idolatry. He now rests calmly, after encountering many of the stern trials and [shifting?] scenes of life, and may not indulge the hope that he will be permitted to join many of his departed companions in arms, who, in the dark days of the Revolution, offered up their lives as a sacrifice for their country’s good, with a firm reliance upon the God of battles, and a strong hope in the enjoyment of a peaceful hereafter.
