Sir
Yr fav of the 28 April last to Hon P Ewing in regard to the claim of the heirs of Capt George Waugh for a pen- sion has been forwarded to me. Your remark, "George Waugh's name does not appear upon the rolls, &c but a certificate of the clerk of the Com- missary shows &c" From this I am led to infer that an application has been filed & is pending in order to procure the pension due to his heirs. Is this inference correct? If so where was it filed - and by whom is it presented & prosecuted - Does it include Mrs Elizabeth Newman of Warren County Ky as one of his children? and what are the names of all the children of Capt Waugh set out in the petition - I write in behalf of Mrs Newman to protect her interest. I hope it may be convenient & proper to afford me immediately the desired information at Bowling Green. Ky. I have the honor to be Yr obt Servt W. L. D. Russell

Hon S P Waldo Sir
A day or two since I filed in your Office a Power of Attorney in the Case of Elizabeth Waugh Widow of George of VA act 7 July 1838.
In addition to the evidence heretofore filed, I respectfully refer you to the Case of John Morrison and Robert Clark both Pensioners on the VA Roll for Service rendered under Capt Waugh -
Morrison states in his own case that he volunteered in March 1781, under Command of Capt James Hawkins, who in company with Capt Geo Waugh March to Richmond but there not being men enough for 2 Companies Capt Waugh being the Senior Officer took the Command. This was an ordinary tour of 3 months but was not discharged until 4 mo months had expired in consequence of the Troops who were to relieve them having been called to some other duty - About the last of July or 1 st of August was drafted and sent under the said Capt Waugh until after the Siege of York, - being 3 mo making his

Service under Capt Wm. This declaration was made in 1834. In 1824-9 the assets to the same person in the care of Robert Clark,
Robert Clark, was allowed for 7 mo. Service also under Capt Wm.
The fact stated in Morrison's declaration of Capt Wm. and Capt Hawkins leaving Orange County together and of Capt Wm. taking charge of both Companies is referred to by Daniel Clark in his declaration under the act of 7 June 1832 and also by James Childs in his affidavit in this case.
In your report of the admit that Capt Wm. did render some service but was not satisfied that it amounted to as much as 6 mo.
Richard White, papers show that Geo Wm. served 2 mo. as a Lieutenant under Capt Benjamin Johnson. And in an affidavit given in the case of Elizabeth Long (nee White) states that Wm. served as Ordinary Sergeant 3 mo. with him under Capt John Scott. and John Morrison and Robert Clark, papers show that Geo Wm. served 7 mo. in 1787 as a Captain, for which I now ask, for the children of Mrs. Wm. a Certificate.
The marriage has been

established by the Marriage bond and the evidence of death & uship, &c, required by your Rules is filed with the papers
