To the Commissioners of Pensions, Washington D.C.
Dear Sir:-
At the request of Mrs. Annis Warner of this City, widow of the late Jonathan Warner of Hardwick Mass. I would respectfully ask your attention to a few facts respecting her past and present situation, with a view of obtaining for her a "hearing" and I would hope, aid from the Pension fund -
Jonathan Warner of Hardwick who died July 1. 1831 served three years in the Army of the Revolution as waiter of Gen. Putnam - Many of the facts respecting his time of entering the service, of leaving &c. &c. I have not gathered from his widow who is now 87 years of age and whose memory is naturally in a state of decay - Having been a pensioner for a short period, All the facts necessary to identify him &c are, no doubt in your office on record
Under what law he drew a pension I am not able to say nor is his widow able to tell -
He received a pension not more than once or twice his name having been dropped from the list on account of his having an amount of property which, in the opinion of the Atty Genl or Secty of War, was sufficient for his maintenance - He most probably drew under the act. of 1818. Whether I am correct or not can be

easily ascertained at your office, as also the amount of property returned in his schedule .
The amount of property received by his widow & an infund by her son was but small, and has long since been expended for her maintenance -
Mrs. Warner is the second wife - was married Dec. 20. 1807 - I would ask if she is entitled to any pension or arrearages, and if any, how much -
Would the fact of her husband's name being dropped from the list, preclude her from receiving any benefit, as his widow?
She is I repeat quite destitute depending on her children for support, and most assuredly "needs the assistance of her country for her support"
An early reply would much oblige
Your Obt Servt
Roger B. Hildreth Atty B.B.
P.S. Having no experience in matters of this nature would you have the kindness to inform me what steps should be taken to secure her pension, provided she is entitled to receive one. R.B.H.

Have you any record of the enlistment and service of Jonathan Warner who enlisted for the Revolution as early as at the beginning of the War. His term of service expired in the fall of 1779. He was born in Saundersfield Penn. on March 17 th 1756. and died in Pittsfield Ct. on March 20 1810. I think he enlisted from Connecticut but am unable to find out from the Revolutionary rolls of that state. As I desire to join the Sons of American Revolution - any information which you
