He states that he was a soldier of the Revolution war and as such he petitioned the United States for a Pension which was granted him at the rate of $20. per annum commencing on the day of 18 He states that this fact will more fully appear by reference to his Declaration and petition setting forth his services all of which is now on file in the War office or with the Commission of Pensions at Washington. He states that he first began to draw his Pension in the State of Indiana and after drawing there for some time he removed to the County of Green & State of Kentucky where he now resides & where he has continued to reside ever since his removal. He states that after his removal to Kentucky he employed one William J. Willis to aid him in getting his Pension papers prepared so as to draw his said Pension in Kentucky. That he delivered to said Willis his Certificate of Pension (under which he had been drawing) who received it and prepared his papers. and he accordingly did draw his Pension up to the 4 th of September 1840 which was the last draw he ever made of his said Pension. He states that between that time and the time of his next draw he ascertained that said Certificate was lost by said Willis or by some one with whom he had left it.

he is informed, by said Willis that about the time he said Willis was removing from Green County that he handed said Certificate of Pension to one Jacob D. Salsman or to one Silas DeSpain of said County with a request to hand the same to him, the said Warren as evidence of this information he refers to the letter of said Willis which is now filed as part of this Declaration, and whose affidavits if necessary will be procured & forwarded, to the Department as also the affidavits of said Jacob D. Salsman and said Silas DeSpain each of whom he has applied to for said Certificate, but after diligent search they cannot find it, he states that he has now been searching and enquiring for said Certificate for 4 years & upwards without success & for that length of time since the 4 th of September 1840 owing to the loss of his said Certificate he has been deprived of the right to draw the small pittance which he is justly entitled to he states that he is the identical same James Warren who drew said Pension as above stated by him & who lost said Certificate, mentioning by him, and that he has not drawn his P. Pension since the 4 th Sept 1840 he therefore makes this Declaration in order to obtain a Duplicate Certificate of his said Pension authorizing him to draw his coming as well as his arrears of Pension from the 4 th Sept 1840, he further states that from his age and bodily infirmity he is unable to attend Court for the purpose of making his said Declaration in Court.

I will not intrude on your attention farther than a few words. I am aware that the objections pointed out in the inclosed may not be fully obviated but the accompanying affidavit appears to be all the evidence that can now be had the extreme inability of body and mind under which the applicant labors consequent on old age is such that it is with difficulty he can rehearse the transactions of yesterday So if the opinions of his neighbors and their convictions of truth of his statements as certified fail to produce -able results he must of necessity abandon all hopes of Success

Dear Sir
your last letter I rec d a day or so since and take now the first moment of leisure to answer it. When I was about to remove from Green I think, I handed Col James Warrens pension certificate to one of his neighbors Jacob Satterson or Silas D Spain to hand him, & when Geo Lovey was up here I handed Col Hugh Warrens certificate to him to convey to him. The reason assigned by the commissioners of pensions, for not reinstating him was that the whole of his service when added together did not amount to 6 months. At one time it was because it was said Trammell their capt was a spy, this however was fully disproved, & congress passed a bill for Trammells benefit I after that than the other excuse of not serving 6 months was rendered. I am glad to hear from you all that your family and my mother are well. Polly I suppose has done very well as Betty is a clever industrious man. My family are tolerable well now tho we have had some sickness this winter. My wife is complaining and promised shortly to add to our already large family - we should be glad to see you & Virginia, here this summer. Potatoes are tolerable ripe here now, & as last year in our country we shall again this year I think

that a democrat - Butcher & Pletcher will run well with us - you will find Pletcher a great fellow & will astonish the natives when he comes amongst you - give my love to mother - I wish you could attend to the Ejectment suit of Baldwell vs. May in Adair county, I fear the case will not be well defended & she will lose the land which could be resisted easily if well defended.
Yours truly

In answer to the amended declaration of James Warren you inform me he can only be allowed a pension for six months unless he can give a more full and satisfactory statement of his tours of service. his extreme age and loss of memory renders it a hopeless undertaking he will therefore accept an allowance for six months service as I understand can be made under existing circumstances
