Rel to case of Mrs Sally White widd. of Daniel Platt
Geo. R. Herrick atty Present
Received of Geo. R. Herrick atty the sum of Dollars for balance of account

Washington Sept. 1 st 1858
Sir,
Application has heretofore been made by Mrs. Sally, widow of Daniel White who was a revolutionary soldier and pensioned at the rate of $64 12 1/2 per annum, as such, for a pension.
By the letter of your office of the 7. May 1849 in reply to Judge Barlow, it is conceded that the parties are proved to have been married prior to 1794, but the allowance of a pension to said widow was withheld, because "Daniel White's papers do not furnish satisfactory evidence that he rendered as much as 6 months service." My reading and understanding of the act of 29. July 1848, under which, it was claimed last, impresses me with the belief that it does not matter whether the soldier served "6 months," six years or 6 days, so that he was a " soldier " " in the State troops " and " entitled to a pension " " under existing pension laws ," on account of service in the revolutionary war. On this ground, I have therefore, to ask, that a certificate of pension issue to Mrs. White for 64 $ per annum, being of "equal amount per annum, that her husband would be entitled to, if living, under existing pension laws ."
Very respectfully
Your ob t Serv t

Dr Sir permit me to make, the following enquiry: Adonijah Bond now draws a pension, for service in the revolution as a substitute for service a musket & paid some cash the musket etc. lost none of these circumstances were taken into the account when his pension was granted & can only be shown by his own affidavit: can he have any further allowance.
Daniel White, an invalid pensioner is dead. Can his widow draw the pension in future, if so will she draw the same $5.33 1/3 per month or will she be entitled to full pay. (She, widow was his wife previous to the revolution & is now the widow)
Please say what further is necessary as the papers as to his pension are in the pension office: your direction with the necessary blanks will be thankfully received. your obed serv t

Debin I this day recd yours of the 17th inst returning the pension certificate of Daniel White. Stating that the papers are on file, & I ought to have, mentioned that when I sent you the papers that they were sent in the first place before the law had expired for increasing pensions. So, in May 1831 you then returned them to me, in a letter dated 10th June 1831 in consequence of the Surgeons certificate not being explicit enough & it has long until this time as he could not obtain evidence to the Surgeons that his disability was entirely in consequence of the wound. Under such circumstances it is not his application in time. He is old & really disabled poor & in debt - In short can nothing be done for him. Please inform me

It is hereby certified that Daniel White formerly a private of captain Camps company, in Colona Heads regiment of the Connecticut troops who it appears by the accompanying certificate, was placed on the pension roll at the rate of five & \frac{33\frac{1}{3}}{100} Dollars per month, on account, as he states, of having received a Sabre wound on the back part of his head, and in consequence of the fatigues, hardships & exposures to an inclement season with improper clothing & want of proper medicine, or surgical attendance, when a prisoner in the prison ship at New York & on his return home an asthmatic complaint was produced & has continued ever since & greatly increased in so much that he he is totally disabled in consequence of the wound & injury above stated — While in the line of his duty and in the said service, on or about the 27 th day of May in the year 1780, at a place called Horse Neck in the State or territory of Connecticut; is not only still disabled in consequence of the said injury, but, in my opinion, is intitled to one third more than he already receives as a pensioner, being disabled to a degree amounting to a total disability.

Washington, Oct 24 th 1853.
We herewith enclose an amended declaration of Sally White, widow of Daniel White of Madison County, New York, under the Act of July 29 th 1848.
Your wife please refer to her papers now on file, as she alleges that she made application for a pension in June 1843.
Very respectfully Evans & Hunt.

Dr Sir
About 2 yrs ago, the department passed upon the application of Sally White , widow of Daniel White late pensioner, deceased, for a pension, and disallowed her claim for want of satisfactory proof of her marriage prior to June 1794 . Her marriage was, if I recollect rightly in Oct, or Nov. 1793.
Since that the act of July 29. 1848 has passed giving pensions to widows married before the 1 January 1800 . From the evidences contained in those papers, now on file in the department the proof of birth and age of her children and of her marriage I suppose the department cannot entertain a doubt of her being married at a sufficiently early day to obviate that difficulty. The widow is still living. Will the department under the circumstances, review the case, and inform me whether

The evidence is not sufficient to bring her within the present laws, and whether she is not entitled to the pension?
Yours respectfully

About two years ago I as attorney for Mrs Sally White a widow sent papers for a pension. Her marriage was in Nov. 1793 if I recollect rightly (the papers will shew) but we could not obtain record evidence of her marriage, and the time so short previous to 1794 that I suppose the depart- ment was not satisfied. The law of last session as I am informed gives a pension to widows married previous to 1800. I suppose the evidence adduced, the birth of the children as set forth in the papers will satisfy the department under this law, so the pension may be granted. Will the department again examine

the case and if all right - allow the pension? Is anything more ought or can be done to obviate the difficulty and bring the case under the late law, will the department please send me the law and instructions. The widow is still living.
Yours truly

Sir
Daniel White died some four or five years ago & was at the time of his death an invalid pensioner with the rate of $64 per year as I am informed. He was, also, entitled I suppose, to a pension under the act of 1832, but did not, probably through igno- rance of the fact that he was entitled to it, apply for a pension under the act of 1832 & was Daniel White entitled to a pension under the act of 1832 in addition to his invalid pension (invalided by several sufficiently long)? If he was so entitled, is not his widow, who is living, entitled to what would have been due her husband at the time of his death, to wit from March 1831 to the day of his death.
Sally White the widow of said Daniel White, states that she has made application for a pension under the act for granting pensions to widows , but for some reason it has not been granted. Will you also have the goodness to inform me of the objections to her applica- tion that I may endeavor to obviate them.
She informs me that Thomas Barlow Esq was her agent in the matter & an early answer is respectfully solicited.
Respectfully yours Otis P. Granger

Dr Sir
Here with I send you again the pension papers of Widow Sally White  Whit of the late Daniel White . You will recollect the depositions had then once and returned them to me with a suggestion of more proof as to the date of the marriage. The papers got into the hands of a gentleman soon after they were returned to me who left this state and took them with him and two years passed away before I was able to get them to attend to them earlier.
The proof of the time of marriage as presented before was the oath of the widow herself and Sally Page, the sister of Daniel White who was present at the marriage. They testify positively it was the 27 th Oct. 1793 . They swear there is no family record of the marriage or of the birth of the oldest child of the widow - that the marriage was performed by a Mr. Wheeler in New Canaan whose given name they could not state - that they then went to New Durham and settled in a few months  down  just after marriage - that the widow's oldest child would be 48 yrs old the 11 th  Siptr  Sept next (1843 as the deposition was taken in June of that year) The child was born then 11 th Sep. 1795 most two years after marriage.

Thus stand the proofs at first on the papers It will be seen by the additional papers.
1 st By the Certificate of Dep. Secretary of State arrived that Samuel Wheeler was in Commission as a Justice of the peace in Columbia County (in which New Canaan is) in the years 1792, 1793 & 1794
2 nd By the deposition of Moses Bramhall an old resident of Canaan Columbia County - that it was formerly called New Canaan - that Samuel Wheeler resided there &c. Also that there is no law nithin was it customary to keep Records of Marriages - that Wheeler has been dead many years - and no children living here if any where.
3 By the depositions of Mr. & Mrs. Burh nill - who have have known the widow ever since 1796 - that they became ac- quainted with Daniel White and wife in Jan y or Feb y 1796 at a party at- which Mrs White & Mrs Burhnill each had with them an infant child - that the ages of the children were spoken of, and the length of time after they were respectively married before they had chil- dren was jokingly spoken of - that it was then spoken of that Mrs White was married nearly two years (Mrs Burhnill says 2 years lacking about a month ) before she had a child - that Mrs White's child was about 2 months

older than Mrs Bushnell, and that Mrs Bushnell was born 19 th Nov. 1795. (This would make the marriage of the widow as stated by her in Oct. 1793)
3 d By the deposition of Eli Page that he became acquainted with Daniel White and wife in the fall of 1794 in New Durham, and married the sister of Daniel White who was at the wedding and another having her speak of the wedding, - and of the reason why they went to New Canaan - to get married, which was that they could not remain in Mass, as long as was necessary to pub- lish the banns, as Mr White lived in New Durham N.Y.
These circumstances so strongly and to my mind conclusively cor- roborate the date of the marriage that I hope after careful examina- tion it will be satisfactory. No written or record proof can be found
As there is in fact no kind of doubt entertained by all personally acquainted with this very respectable, worthy and needy widow as to the truth of every word she would substantiate under the oath of her case, I will ask the power of the department if it is not satisfied of the proof again to return to me

the papers that I may if possible supply by circumstances any seeming defect.
Returns may be mailed directed to me at this place Albany, N.Y.
