Washington, Oct. 10. 1845.
Sir
I am led to believe that from the "Washington papers" on file in the State Department, sufficient evidence can be procured to prove the services of Thomas Wade a soldier of the Revolutionary War. For these services, his widow, Mrs. Mary Wade, claims a pension, and has filed an application therefor in your office. I have, therefore, respectfully to request, that you cause an examination to be made of those papers for that purpose.
Mrs. Wade states in her declaration that her "husband entered the service in the eastern part of the State of Virginia - that he served a portion of his time in the militia - thinks his Colonel's name was Hawes - that at one time he was commanded by Capt. John Heth of Winchester, Frederick Co. Virginia - and that he also served some time in the regular army." I presume that Lieut. John Heth is the person to whom she here alludes.
