Petition
of the widow of Isaac Van Norman, a soldier of the Revolution, praying to be allowed a pension.
1841 Jan y 27. Referred to the Com: on Pensions.
Mr Wright

To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled
The petition of the undersigned most respectfully represents: — That she was the wife of Isaac VanNorman who, enlisted, and served, during the Revolutionary War, and who was also a soldier in the last War between the United States and Great Britain. — Your petitioner made application for a pension under the provisions of the Act of July 7 th 1838 but in consequence of a subsequent Marriage she was not entitled to the benefits of the Act aforesaid.
Your petitioner begs leave to represent that her husband the aforesaid Isaac VanNorman served his country faithfully through her Revolutionary struggle, perilous his life in many a hard fought battle, and in consequence of the severity of his duty, his health was ever after impaired — Notwithstanding the good intentions of Government at the time, but nearly all the compensation he received for his long and arduous services, was in Continental Bills, whose value was barely sufficient to obtain a meal for several months service — It is true her husband received a military land warrant for 100 Acres, but like the Continental Bills, he never received the value of a night's lodging for it — Your petitioner was married to him soon after the close of the War, (May 14 th 1789) he had nothing left

for his long services, but had to commence the world anew - He labored and toiled with patient industry, and in raising a numerous family of children, he obtained hardly a comfortable subsistence - His husband always indulged the hope until his death, that his country would compensate him in some measure for his long and faithful services, but he was not permitted to enjoy the fulfillment of his fond anticipations - Immediately after the declaration of the last War, he again responded to his country's call, although in his forty eighth year, his youthful patriotism was rekindled, and he again enlisted under Lieut. Barr of the 23 d Regiment of Infantry, for 5 years on the 29 th June 1812 - Soon after his arrival at Greenburgh in the State of New York, he caught the prevailing Epidemic, and died the 15 th of August 1812 - Your petitioners second husband, died the 9 th day of June 1833 after living with him but a short time - In the Act of July 4 th 1836 and the explanatory of said Act of March 3 rd 1837 a liberal provision was made for those Widows who were married after the death of the husband for whose services they claimed pensions - provided, they were widows at the time the Act was passed and the Act alluded to, graduated the pension, in proportion to the amount of services performed by their deceased husbands, requiring a service of two years, for a full pension -
Your petitioners feels the full force of the inequality of the laws alluded to, as she has in numerous instances been known to a Revolutionary Soldier enjoying the bounty of Government either under the Acts of 1818 or 1832 and after his death, the widow receiving the same bounty for life, but in the case of your petitioners, her husband was not permitted to

enjoy the Boon of his countrys gratitude for his long service, nor, can his widow by the present Law, receive it, in consequence of her intermarriage — Your petitioners is informed that the Rolls in the War Department contain ample evidence of her husbands services in the War of the Revolution, and she hopes that the vouchers appended will be sufficient proof as to her marriage to the said Isaac Van Norman —
Your petitioners indulges the fond hope, that she has a just claim to your favorable consideration and she therefore most humbly prays that your honorable body will direct, that her name be put upon the pension list, and to grant her such an amount of Pension as she would have been entitled to, under the Act of July 7-1838 if she could have availed herself of its provisions —
Your petitioners as in duty bound, will ever pray

Dear Madam:
I advise you that this bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolutionary War unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made to the United States on account of his services.
A careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file on account of the services of Isaac Van Aernam; however, if he used other spellings of his name and you will furnish as much as possible of the following data in regard to him, a further search of the records will be made in your behalf:- approximate dates of birth and death, places of residence at enlistment and after service and given name of widow.
Should you reply, please return both of these letters.
Very truly yours,
E. W. MORGAN Acting Commissioner.

Sir
I have received the enclosed letter and proofs showing that Hannah Page is entitled to a Pension. Mr. McLean is a gentleman of much respectability, and his statement deserves full credence.
For myself, I have no doubt that Mrs. P. is justly entitled to a Pension. I submit the case to your decision on this and the papers already on file.
With great regard
Yours,
W. Hunt

Sir
Some two or three years ago I forwarded to you the application of Susanna Hewitt widow of Ephraim Hewitt for a pension under the act of 1838, but in consequence of the decease of her husband since the passage of the same I was informed at the time she could not avail herself of the provision of that Act — I am informed that subsequent provision has been made, which would include her claim
I suppose the necessary papers are now on file in your department, and it is the earnest wish of Mrs. Hewitt that her claim may be considered and the result communicated as soon as practicable — I also forwarded to you the claim of Hannah Page widow of Isaac VanNorman but at the time of her application she was precluded in consequence of her second marriage —
I requested our members of Congress to bring her case before the House and I suppose her papers are in the archives of the House or Senate as no definite action has been had in the matter that has come to my knowledge — As the provision alluded to, will also include her case — the widow wishes her claim received — If any thing should be wanted in either case, please notify me —
Very Respectfully Yours Obedient Servt!
