We received the enclosed papers from a good honest Customer Mr. Thomas Devine for collection. On last Friday when in Phila. I presented the paper at the Phila Bank, the Pension Agent said he could not pay it unless there was another witness obtained, But to save delay and expense to the Pensioner suggested that I should send it to you, asking your permission to allow him to pay it. He also said that the power of Atty would expire before it could return from Iowa. If you can waive this informality and give us an order with the return of the papers, we beg leave to refer you to J. B. Trever Cash. Phila Bank who is acquainted with our business,

In re: Nathan Winton Rev. War Pension claim. S. 39899.
I am writing you for some information of the above named Nathan Winton. It appears he was allowed a pension on his application executed April 17, 1818, while a resident of Crawford County, Pennsylvania. As a pension was allowed I assume he continued to draw such pension until he died, and I assume there must be on file in your Bureau a record of his place of residence at times of payment up to the time of his death.
I would like to know any address or addresses give by said Nathan Winton subsequent to filing for pension up to time the account was closed. I would also like to know the manner or reason for closing the account.
Assuring you of my appreciation for any information you may give me, I am

Gentlemen:-
only Nathan From the inscription on a Tombstone in the Winton Graveyard Davis County, this State, it appears that Nathan Winton was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. It shows that he was born in Connecticut January 1st, 1759, and died September 24th, 1846, in Davis County of this State. The fact of his having been a Revolutionary soldier is inscribed on the stone.
On the same stone is an inscription showing that his son Bradley Winton died August 5th, 1845 at 49 years, 3 months and 18 days of age, and Bradley Winton's wife died September 24th, 1873 at 75 years 3 months 15 days of age. Both Bradley Winton and his wife by the inscription were born in Pennsylvania.
The Connecticut Archives found in our Genealogical Library of this State shows Nathan Winton to have been a Revolutionary soldier from Connecticut.
What I am interested in is to establish the fact beyond a question that the Nathan Winton referred to in the Connecticut Archives and on the stone in the Winton Cemetery were one and the same party. The purpose being to request our Legislature which is now in session, to erect a suitable stone or monument at the grave of Nathan Winton as it has done at the graves of other Revolutionary soldiers buried in this State.
I thought perhaps your Pension Record or other records at your command would furnish us a complete history which might be submitted to the Committee of our Legislature. An early reply would be appreciated.
Very truly yours,
BFC'ML

Dear Sir;--
A man named Nathan Winton served in the Revolution from Conn. from either Stratford or Fairfield in 1775 and other times up to 1781.
Under the Act of 1818 he drew a pension but moved to Penn. and was probably living there at his death.
Will you kindly give me any information of his family if given in his application for pension? The list of Conn. pensioners says he was drawing his pension in Pa.
Thanking you in advance, I remain,
