N.Y. Lansingburgh (Aug. 2. 1837)
Dear Sir
In reply to yours of 28 th ult. in relation to application of Mrs Jane Winslow, for a pension. I am instructed to state, that upon reflection, it is thought best to accept a Certificate for the amount of pay, she would be entitled to, for the services of her husband, thus far corroborated by the Rolls in your office, to wit: 8 mos private under Capt. Clapp. - 3 mos. 18 days 1 st Lieutenant. Capt. Gibbs, with the short terms, if any  as far as such are found - This, it is supposed will not prejudice her claim for additional services, if hereafter ascertained -
The old lady is in rather poor health, & in very indigent circumstances - And her friends think it not prudent to hazard the delay necessary, in seeking for further evidence.
There being none in these parts who was in the same Regt. it will be necessary to prosecute her further enquiries in Mass. or Rhode Island -
Be pleased to forward Certificate to
Very Respectfully
Your H on Secy

N.Y. Lansingburgh, May 1. 1898
Hon. J. S. Edwards.
The enclosed papers are handed to me by the friends of Irene Winslow, to be transmitted with the view of obtaining an increase of her pension. The Commission herewith sent, has been discovered since her first application, and, as was understood, her Certificate was granted chiefly upon her husband's Commission as 2 d Lieutenant . It is hoped the present Commission supported by the former and the present evidence, will justify an increase. I suppose it will be necessary to forward her first Certificate. This has not been sent to me, probably through inadvertence. Upon an intimation that the pension may be increased, I will procure it to be sent. I observe also they have omitted to procure the County Clerk's Certificate to Mrs. Winslow's affidavit. But as it seems merely to corroborate her former Declaration, I have thought you might not deem it material, as it would be attended with some delay, travel &c. I beg not to be considered troublesome in urging this application, as I have not received any thing for my services in her behalf, and probably shall not. The old lady is in very indigent circumstances, and what adds to the sympathies of her friends, she unfortunately lodged her monies first received, with a man who has since become insolvent, as I am informed.
I am requested to propound the following question in regard to another case. A man enlisted in the early part of the Revolution, during the war, in a company of Rangers. After two months actual service, he was killed in battle. Can his widow (married before the Revolution) receive a pension under the laws now in force? Or will the Department feel authorized to grant her any compensation? - She is now, I am told, in very distressed circumstances, & is supported by charity.
I am very Respectfully Yours, Report to Hon. H. Vail H. R. M. L. Filley

Lansingburgh N.Y. July 3. 1837
Dr Sir The enclosed application of Jane Winslow, was handed to me in January last. It will be perceived from the papers that her husband Lieut. Hildale Winslow, in his life time, had made efforts to obtain his pension under act of 1818. and as I am informed by very respectable persons, his neighbors, was endeavouring to procure additional testimony to forward with his own Declaration when he died - I however transmit it, together with an affidavit of one Hattaway taken at the time. Her Hattaway it is ascertained, died some years since, which is the reason of forwarding his old affidavit.
At my suggestion the papers have been delayed, for the purpose of procuring the documentary evidence of marriage annexed. Mrs. W. as I am informed, at the time she made her Declaration believed she had no record of her marriage & stated it wholly from memory. It will be seen from the Certificate, afterwards procured, that they differ as to date, 2 days - But it is thought as well to forward the papers as they are, rather than undergo the inconvenience of amending her Declaration, merely to add that she stated the time only from memory.
Her Husband having served in the Continental Line, it is hoped that the Rolls will render the fact & the period of service conclusive, as her friends after much travel, can find no other witness in these parts now living.
The Department will please forward their decision upon the claim

Very Respectfully
