J. L. Edwards Esqr Dear Sir
South Harpeth Tennessee April 3 d 1843
Enclosed you will receive the application of Mrs Sarah Doty for a pension under the Act of the 11 th July 1836 for the services of her husband Thomas H Doty in the war of the Revolution - Should there be any objections to her case please inform me of the same by directing a letter to me at South Harpeth Davidson County Tennessee
Respectfully
Your Obedient Servt. Ezra Holstead

To Ezra Holsted Pen. Office S. Harpeth Tenn. May 10, 1843
Sir,
The declaration + proofs in the case of Sarah Totty are herewith re- turned that the claim may be as- serted before the court or if she is actually unable from disch ce + consequent debility to attend court the proceedings before the magistrate be sub- mitted to the court for its sanction. The alleged date of the marriage should be establish d by the certificate of the clerk of Chester- field Co. Va. The pro- rata character of the pension indispensably own

requires as the regulations do that the length of the service should be ascertained with satisfactory precision. No term of service can be allowed unless its period - length + grade - names of officers stations - battles etc are set forth in detail so as to enable the Dept. to decide upon it understandingly - The militia of Va. were seldom called into service and rarely served as much as 3 mos. at a time to which the term of their service was limited. There were not a half dozen occasions from the beginning to the end of the war upon which any part of the militia of Chesterfield Co. was called out.

Acts of July 14, 1862, and March 3, 1879.
