Sir
I received your replication; leaving date 14th [illegible], in which you acknowledge the reception of the supplemental statement of Joseph Childers respecting the service of Thomas Edwards decd. You speak of the widows allegations in her declaration, and say “she alleges that he was [illegible] two or three times and served at least two years.” My recollection serves me that she stated in her declaration “that she believes he served at most two years for which time she claimed” I do not recollect that she specified any certain number of times for which he was [illegible]; my recollection of the testimony is; that she has proved twelve months service of her late husband by positive proof; with strong corroborating circumstances that he served the two years as claimed by the widow. Now if a part of the time claimed by the declarant (coming within the provision of the law) be proved by positive

Page 13

and unquestionable testimony does not entitle the declarant to that portion so proved, while a remaining portion so claimed not upon [illegible] and doubt. This case must [illegible] as that appears to be its position. I had presumed that the claimant might allege what time she believed to be time and if she moved six months (being the shorter previous coming within the provision of the law) She would be entitled to pay for so much time as she might be able to prove according to the regulation of the pension office department. So this case is with the department to dispose of. Please inform me of the result as soon as convenient. 
Very respectfully

The tour to Petersburg on to Cabin Point this affiant went in the same company as for Petersburg there [illegible] sick (having been out about two months) his brother came down and took his place and he returned home. The tour to Richmond Va on to Yorktown and in the battle at that place, this affiant went on as far as Richmond with the company his brother John Childres being drafted in the same company; this affiant merely was with his brother not being drafted himself when Edwards and his brother returned after the Battle of Little York; they came to his father’s

I received your letter bearing date 25th [illegible]. Relative to the pension claim of Mrs. Martha Edwards, widow of the late Thomas Edwards; “in which you state that the terms of active service have not been specified with such precision as to identify the Department in admitting the claim for the time alleged, or for nine months service. A pension may however be allowed for six months service, upon the testimony [illegible].” She believes the whole alleged to be fact and believes there are now living witnesses by whom the fact could be established but the difficulty of procuring it defers her from any further effort, and therefore respectfully submits her claim to the judgement and decision of the department believing that the department [illegible] to her are the [illegible] which the testimony and regulations may entitle her to.

My recollection of the testimony in his case is, that she has clearly proved nine months service by her late husband Thos. Edwards by evidence legally authenticated according to the rules and regulations of your department I repeat, if I have forwarded any evidence in M. Edwards; case to the Hon. E. W. Hubard my recollection does not serve me. Martha Edwards, claimed for two years service rendered by her late husband in the Revolution, but proved only nine months, the credibility of which proof was fully established not only by the certificate of the Justice of the Peace before whom stated, but by the certificate of [illegible] other credible persons with several explanations called for by the Department.

United States Pension Commissioner,
Dear Sir:-
Thomas Edwards, a Revolutionary Soldier, private in Captain Thomas Ridley’s Company 4th Virginia Regiment, commanded by Major Isaac Brace, formerly commanded by Col. Thomas Elliott, Revolutionary War. He enlisted March 17th, 1776, and his name appears on the roles to include March 6th, 1778, with the remark. “Discharged March 5th, 1778.” Thomas Edwards received a bounty land warrant for his services. This bounty land warrant was laid on land in Miami County, Ohio, where he located and died.
We want to get the number of this land warrant, and its date, and a copy of it if possible, and all the endorsements thereon, and any other information you can give us that the records show concerning Thomas Edwards, and we will gladly pay whatever the charges are for the same, and will send you the money as soon as we know the charges before you send the record.
Thomas Edwards great great grandchildren want to become members of the society known as the “Daughter of the Revolution”, also to incorporate this information in a book giving the history of the Edwards family, from the Revolution down to the present time. Please look and see if there were any other Thomas Edwards in any of the Virginia Regiments.
To the Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C.
Yours Truly,
