Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the pension record of your ancestor, Captain Henry Waring, of Greenwich, Connecticut, a soldier of the Revolutionary War.
The data furnished herein are obtained from the papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim, S.36372, based upon the military service of Henry Waring in that war.
The date and place of birth and the names of the parents of Henry Waring are not shown in the papers in the pension claim.
In January, 1777, he received a commission as 1 st lieutenant, served as such officer in Captain Samuel Lockwood's Company, Colonel John Lamb's 2 nd Regiment of Artillery and continued to serve until April 15, 1781, when he left the service; immediately thereafter, he "took charge of a company of state guards and continued in service until the cessation of arms". His place of residence during the Revolution was not shown.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 1, 1818, at which time he was aged seventy-three years and resided in Greenwich, Connecticut.
In 1820, he referred to his wife, Hannah, as aged seventy years, but did not give her maiden name or the date of their marriage. Children and grandchildren are referred to: their names do not appear.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the name and address of person paid and possibly the date of death of the Revolutionary War pensioner, Henry Waring(S.36372), you should apply to

J. L. Edwards Esq. Sir
Permit me to trouble you a moment on the subject of pending. There were forwarded about a year since from this office the applications of the following persons - Abraham Bell, Isaac Bell , Charles Ward , James Ward , Thomas Provoost , Reneen June , Jacob Loder , Messenge Lockwood of Drake Lockwood . From these I have never heard, altho' I have often written requesting intelligence respecting them & altho', I have long ago heard from your department in relation to others which were subsequently forwarded. They are (at least some of them) probably liable to some objections which have been taken to the other applications which recd from this Probate Office especially in relation to the mode of authentication if it is highly desirable if they are to be returned at all, they be returned immediately , that any objections which shall be taken may be obviated, so far as may be practicable giving the heirs of the applicants . They are extremely impatient to learn the fate of their applications & are most of them very needy. You will therefore confer a great favor upon them & me by giving me intelligence respecting them as expediously as may consist with your convenience.
I have also to request as early an answer as your convenience will permit to other applications which have

been provided a second time - for instance those of Reuben Depeew , Peter Aldea , Zaccheus Aldea , Hart Scipio Joseph Aldea , Abraham Close , Solomon Close John Clock , Walter Halsey , Chs. Smith , Enos Aldea , Aldea , Warren Hail - Jno. Little , Chs. Lockwood Benjamin Prout - Jeremiah Andreas - Henry Giff - William Horne - Job Glyn - & Isaac Lewis -
I wrote to you Department long ago in- forming you that David  Provoost a Revolutionary Pensioner (now deceased .) who was unlong ago  transferred from New York to the Connecticut Agency never drew the instalment which fell due at the time he was transferred - he applied in New York - was by the Agent there referred to Hartford - applied at Hartford at Hartford & was there informed he must apply at New York & was subsequently informed from Washington that he must apply at New York - again applied at the Patten House but in vain - The instal- ment was never rec d . - Since his death the widow has obtained what was due at his death since the last pay to before his death at Hartford & I wrote you on his behalf requesting direction to the Agent at Hartford to pay the back instalment - The original Certificate was unpaidly sent to Hartford & I know no way in which she can obtain it except from Hartford - I have never

No? any answer to my letter. will you do her the favour to make some such order that she may receive the pittance due - It has been due about two years - the sum is I think $48. -
Capt Harry Waring & Green with a Revolutionary Pension died a year ago or more leaving a part of the instalment due him. He left no widow but many children some of whom live in Conn. - some in the of some in the Western States. One here in this place has taken administration. Please inform me whether he can draw the amount due for himself & the children The children live so far apart that the education of a widow by the whole would cost much more than the amount due - I wrote to the War Department on this subject many months ago & am without an answer - by giving me the requisite information You will highly oblige
Your respectful friend & servant
Ch. Hawley
