Dear Sir
About twelve months ago, Isaiah Miller of this place, undertook to prosecute a claim for Jacob Vertrees of Hardin County Ky, for services rendered the U. States during the Revolutionary war, by his father, Isaac Vertrees. Miller made some progress with the case, & still would have prosecuted it, but for the death of Jacob Vertrees. The said Jacob in his last will & testament appointed his wife, Elizabeth Vertrees, and the Hon: B. R. Young late Member of Congress from this District, his Executrix and Executor. Having but little confidence in Miller, they are unwilling that he should have any further agency in the matter. I have been employed in the case; and as I have failed to get any information from Miller, I wish you to do me the favor to examine the case, and write me what progress has been made, that I may know what remains to be done. The Hon B. R. Young will also write you on the subject.

30 Pension Office Decem 4 1848
Sir,
Your application as the Administrator of Elizabeth Vertray, Widow of Isaac Vertray for arrears of pension due her under the act has been recd and subject filed with her other papers. My Vertray was not entitled to a pension under the act of 4 July 1836, her marriage to the late pensioner Isaac Vertray after the termination of his service. And as her death took place prior to the passage of the act of 7 May 1838, there was no law in force at the during her life upon which could have acquired any claim to a stipend. Your application for arrears due her is, therefore, rejected.
But should have Mrs. Vertray have been entitled to arrears, as she has no children living the law would not authorize the payment to you as the  for the purpose of assets of her Estate. Payments of arrears of pension can be paid to administrators only for the sole use and benefit of the children. When there is no child the law does not recognize the existence of a claim.

I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 6 inst. and in reply to state that the evidence in the case of Elizabeth Ventrap deed shows that she was married to the late pensioner Isaac Ventrap in 1781 and that his service in the Pennsylvania Line terminated in 1779 thereby therefore had no claim under the act of 4 July 1836. Those only who were married prior to the termination of their husbands service are purviewed for by that law. Said as she died before the passage of the act of 7 July 1838, there was no law in force at the time of her death under which she had any claim to a pension.
to a pension. The application of the who it appears has some and  the  for a  very  very due here of the very same was of course rejected.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letters in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Isaac Vertrees, Michael Treece and John Trees, the last named a pensioner of Pennsylvania in 1818. You request, also, to know whether or not you can have access to Revolutionary War pension claims, based upon service of all soldiers with those surnames, should you be in this city.
Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War data and the limited trained clerical force available for furnishing such information, it is impossible to comply in full with each request pertaining to soldiers of that war. The records of Isaac Vertrees and John Trees are furnished you herewith.
Should you be in this city, you may call at this office and collect data from all claims for pension based upon Revolutionary War service of soldiers with the surnames cited above. Those records are located at present in Room 1851, Wing 8, Navy Building, 19th & Constitution Avenue, N.W. Every courtesy will be extended you when you call.
