Yours of 13 th inst- informing that "The claim of Bethia Williams for homestead land has been suspended for the reason that the revolutionary services of James Williams the husband of the applicant does not appear of record in this office" has been received.
Mrs Bethia Williams applies as the widow of James Williams 2 nd & is now in possession of a pension certificate as the widow of James Williams 2 nd who was a pensioner under the act of March 1818. I think the addenda of 2 nd in her application has been overlooked or it is possible said addenda may not appear in her application - There must be record proof of the services of James Williams 2 nd in your office and if in the application of Mrs Williams she does not so apply as widow of James Williams 2 nd she should do so, and upon being informed of such omission Mrs Williams will forth with make a new application. I hope if it is necessary for such new application I may be informed forthwith.
