In order to obtain the benefit of a further allowance under the several Acts of Congress passed for the relief of certain widows of Soldiers of the War of the Revolution.
State of Pennsylvania
Lebanon County ss.
On this seventh _____ day of November _____ A. D. one thousand eight hundred and fifty one personally appeared before me Henry Cannary one of the Associate Judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for the County aforesaid Ann Catharine Wann aged eighty seven years a resident of the County and state aforesaid and Widow of Michael Wann deceased, who after being duly sworn according to law doth say, That her husband the said Michael Wann was an enlisted soldier in the War of the Revolution and served to the end of the War, as by the Certificate of his discharge and from the proofs advanced in her declaration made for the benefit of the Act of Congress passed July 7. 1838, filed in the Pension Office at Washington will more fully appear; and that she has not intermarried but continues the widow of the said Michael Wann deceased.
Now the object of this Declaration being made is to relin- quish the allowance made under her former declaration at the rate of Eighty dollars per annum, and to assert a claim at the rate of a private's pay, Ninety six dollars pr. annum from the 4 th of March 1836 up to this period and henceforth dur- ing the period of her natural life (if she shall so long remain unmarried and continue the Widow of the said Michael Wann), deducting therefrom the allowance and payment under her former Application. - Believing that inasmuch as her hus- band the said Michael Wann deceased, was an enlisted Soldier and having served to the end of the War, that the further sum of Sixteen dollars per annum now claimed would

would have been justly due and would have been allowed to her said husband if living and consequently now due unto her the said Ann Catharine Wann as the Widow of him the said Michael Wann.
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year first above written.
And I hereby certify that on account of the bodily infirmities with which the said Ann Catharine Wann is afflicted, it is impossible for her to appear in open Court & that the foregoing Declaration was made before me in her own room in the County of Lebanon and state of Pennsylvania.

Dear Sir
Your favor of 18 th ultimo (addressed to me at Lebanon Pa a was received a few days since.) relative to the application of Mrs Wann widow of Michael Wann dec d . The case as I understand it is, that Michael Wann was an enlisted soldier and served to the end of the war, was regularly discharged as appear by his discharge filed with the application in Genl Office, and would have been entitled if living under the Act of 1828 to ninety Six dollars per annum, and if so the widow would also be entitled to that amount. — There are cases in which $96 is allowed and as he was entitled and served to the end of the war I think this case ought also be allowed. — I am perhaps mistaken in my view and may not fully understand the case, and therefore not have properly made the application, if so, and the case would under a different mode of procedure be entitled to such an additional allowance please

advise me how to proceed. —
I will also in connection with the Case State another, that of my Mother. — She was pensioned under the Act of 7 July 1858 at the rate of $466. 66 pr Ann. for 20 months Services by Father as Commissary 2 months as Captain and 2 mo as Lieutenant — Now I understand by Your kind favor some weeks since that for a Commissary the rate of pay would be $50 pr mo. So that we would be entitled to additional allowance — Will You please inform me whether I as Executor of my du te Mother can make the application for such addition, and whether if I come to Washington in the course of the winter, I can when there make such application in person before the Commissioner, and what evidence will be required of identity as Executor &c &c —
