Dear Sir
Some years since Philip Winfrey drew a Pension as a Revolutionary Soldier which he drew up to his death or thereabouts which was about 1841 - Some years since his widow died also after his death but drew no pension which she was entitled to. The object of this communication is to ask of you to examine in the War or Pension Department and see if there is any thing due from the Government to said Philip Winfrey, his widow now dead or his heirs under any act giving them Pensions, he drew his Pension under act June 7. 1832

we are inclined to the Opinion that we are entitled to some back pay or pension prior to the act aforesaid in right of said Winfrey we wish you to investigate the matter for us or place it in the hands of some reliable Pension agent in Washington City who will take a reasonable fee out of any money he may get for the heirs of said Winfrey Some 2 years since we received a letter from a Mr. True a Pension agent in the City stating there was a large balance due the heirs of said Winfrey and wished to act for us but not knowing him we never authorized him to act for us. Will you be so kind as to see to this matter for us and have it looked into so that we may know the true state of the case.

and if we are entitled to any thing that we may get it. By so doing you will much oblige Your fellow Constituents Yours Truly Sim. H. Winfrey Sam. Gowdy
P.S. Direct your letter to Heatsville Adair Co Ky
Please advise me in this city
R. S. Davis Washington City
P.S. I am the duly authorized agent to act in this case.

Pension Office
July 31 st 1861.
Sir,
In reply to the letter of Messrs Winfrey & Goudy, & respecting the claim of the heirs of Philip Winfrey of Ky. I have to inform you that he drew a pension at the rate of $20. per ann. under the act of 7 th June 1832. for six months service, which is all that he claimed to have rendered -
If he left a widow who is now living she is entitled to a pension - But if she died without asserting her right. But there is now law by which her children can obtain the pension to which she might have been entitled but which she failed to receive - Such claims die with the party in whose right they may have existed. An opinion given by Attorney General Black, changed, a few years since, the practice of this Office which had, before that time, prevailed, to allow children to receive receive the amount which might have been due to their parents in their lifetime - If,

any of the semi annual payments due on the pension of Philip Winfrey were not drawn by him, they can be obtained by his children on application to the 3 rd Auditor's Office, with the usual vouchers.

Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served? yes V. * Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled? yes VI.

XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? Yes
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? Yes
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
* QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words: "Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____ For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shown under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
‡QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
‡QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
¶ In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

112 Parks Ave Joliet, Ill., Sept 24, 1937
Veterans' Administration Washington, D.C. Gentlemen,
The name of your department was given me by the War Department, Washington, D.C., as being a possible source of information concerning the pension records of a Philip Winfrey who served in the Revolutionary War, and of a Josiah Conn and Arch Conn, who may have served in the Revolution, or were sons of a Conn who served.
From copies of pension papers which I found in the Newberry Library in Chicago, this Philip Winfrey was born in Powhatan County, Va., in 1764; his pension began March 4, 1831 and the certificate was issued April 9, 1833.
I want this information because I am trying to trace my ancestry to the Revolutionary War period so as to be eligible for membership in the D.A.R. I have reasons to believe Philip Winfrey was an ancestor of mine.

Isiah Conn that I am inquiring about my great-great grandfather, and as near as an figure, he may have been of similar age to Philip Winfrey, so it is possible that he served in the Revolution, too. Arch Conn was his brother. I do not know where they lived originally, but the first that I have any information of them, they were living in Tennessee. They apparently moved there from some state on the east, however.
If you have the record of any of these people, what were the names and ages of their children or their wives, if this material is given? I shall appreciate, greatly, any information that you can give me.
I, also, found that there were two Conns living in Kentucky in 1840, who had been Revolutionary War soldiers. They were Timothy Conn born 1756 and living in Mercer Co. at that time. The other was Samuel Conn born 1763 and living in Jefferson Co. Do you have the record of either of these men or their families having received a pension, and if so, what were the names of their dependents?
Very truly yours, Mrs. Reah B. Ritchie
