Love Warning Brief

On the 11 Octs 1837. Love Waring, widow of Abram of NY, said she could make no particular statement of his services, she had never seen him until after the war commenced. Thinks the first time she saw him was at Pound-Ridge in 1778, he was then in Officers Uniform and was called Lieutenant Waring, some time after this they became particularly acquainted and were married in 1780, for some time previous to their marriage she understood he had charge of some part of the Commissary Department, Saw him once at Salem with a number of Continental teams under his care, with supplies for the Continental Army. After their marriage he was from home and employed as she understood as a Commissary, understood from himself and others, that he was in an engagement with the Tories at North Castle, also in an engagement at Horse Neck, was in the Army when the Americans were driven out of NY, had his arm broken, Can not tell the names of his officers,
Robb G Waring, a son, says he was reported to have been a Lt. in Col. Thos. Thome's Regt. and that he served as a Contracting Commissary ,

for several years.
James Waring, a brother , says Abram was in service in 1776 I had charge of teams & continued in this service six or seven months . That in the spring of 1777 he enlisted in Capt Benj. Stevens Co as a 1 st Lt Col Thomas' Regt. I continued in this service 9 months . That he continued in the Army a great part of the war in various stations until the close of the war, believing he was a commissary or assistant commissary a considerable time, —
Stearns Raymond says that in March 1777 Abram was a commissioned 1 st Lt in Stevens' Co. Thomas' Regt. I don't know at that time a soldier in same Regt. I continued in service I think a year, In 1778 he saw him with a sword & spaulter & he was called Lt. In 1780 he saw him acting as a purchasing commissary & acted as such to the close of the war.
Nathan Slauser, says he knows Abram was a soldier, some part of time he was an officer, but he does not know the grade. I saw him during service after he was married. Some part of the time he acted as a contracting commissary, don't know how long.

Comptroller's certificate shews two payments in 1780 & 1781 of £92, 3 s 2 d, & 11, 2 s. to a man of his name, no officers given, & no grade for himself, —
It is contended that the case should be admitted under '36, because payments were made to him in 1781, & he was married in 1780, — The case was not admitted on the Comptroller's certificate, nor could it be, he was in no way identified with that certificate, and if he was, Mr Ray knows that the payment in '81 does not show service in that year, — Next he contends that service as a commissary should be admitted, — I can not find that many one of the witnesses is a pensioner, Nathan Slosson was pensioned, but he doubtless to know anything about his commissary service, Sims Raymond is also a pensioner, & was prob- ably in a position to know of the service, but his statement is very ungenerous, — There is not a particle of record in the case,

Hon L. P. Waldo Com d of Pensions
Washington July 6 th 1853
Sir/
Mr Thomas Lumpkin of this City: informs me he has filed a power of attorney in his name to act as agent in the case of Love Warrington of New York, petitioned under act July 7, 1838. as the widow of Abraham Warrington, who it has been alleged served as Ensign, & as Lieut in a Regiment commanded by Col. Thos. Thomas and also, that he served as an assistant, or purchasing commissary, and married in April 1780.
Mr Lumpkin having recently examined the papers filed in the case, has furnished me with extracts therefrom. And has engaged my services in presenting the case of the applicant; (in the view which seems to me, to be the proper one;) for your consideration.
In doing so, I make two distinct points in the case, one for the benefit of act July 4, 1836. The other for the allowance of the claim for the service of commissary.
First, the marriage as I understand is admitted to have taken place in April 1780. There are on file two certificates from the Dept t Camp t of New York showing payments to the husband in Nov r 1780 and in Feb y 1781; if I am correct in presenting this statement: then it necessarily follows, the widow is entitled to the act 1836. because it is shown by the cert s referred to, that payments were made for his

Service after Marriage.
In the Second place, there it appear from the extract before me, there is no record pled in the case showing the appointment of Mr. Marring as assistant or Purchasing commissary, but the parole evidence of his service as commissary is very conclusively shown and after Marriage . The several affidavits pled in the case, swear to facts of their own knowledge, and that weight is attached to their testimony, because they are also Revolutionary Pensioners .
as a precedent for an allowance of the claim, as an assistant or Purchasing commissary. I beg to refer to a recent allowance in the case of Zelpha Loomis act 1838 (if I think Connecticut) as the widow of Abner Loomis, she claimed her husband served as a private Lieut- and as commissary. There was an extract from the register of the Treasury filed in the case showing a payment to Abner Loomis of $400.
Commissioner Heath rejected the allowance on the proof filed. Mr. S. S. Addison the agent in the case informed me of these facts and applied to me, to know if I could furnish any record evidence of the appointment and service of Abner Loomis in the Commissary Department . He has since informed me the claim in question (Mr Loomis) does have been re-considered by you, and an allowance made for her husband service as commissary on parole evidence and, moreover, the case was submitted by you to the Secretary of the Interior, who, fully concurred in the decision.
Now, if the statement has made, made the mispreference

I received the correct.
Then I say, the claim of the applicant is stronger than that of Mr "Loonis" for we decided by you , (and I can rely on no safer decision for my guide). It is a stronger case I repeat, because it is supported by the testimony of persons who actually served, and are themselves pensioners.
The case in other respects stands in such strict similarity that the allowance of the one on parole testimony, must follow an admission of the other under the same rule of order.
In submitting the case of "Love warming" as governed by precedent.
I have the honor
to remain Sir

Hon. L. P. Waldo Sir,
I received your letter of the 6 inst. with a copy of yours of the 2d inst. to Rev. Lumpkin Esq, in the case of Love having act 38 New York.
In my communication of the 6 inst. I claimed on a question of precedent and principle, the admission of McBrady's claim under the late decision in the case of the widow of Oliver Lovins - act 1638.
In your acknowledging my application, and adding it cannot be allowed, is not satisfactory to my mind; On the contrary, if the ground taken in my letter be correct, then you have failed to consider in connexion the two cases.
Unless you are pleased to point out the distinction in the claims, I shall feel it to be my duty to submit the case in question, to the consideration of the Secretary of the Interior.

Sir
about the 12 th of October I sent to War Department an application made by Mrs Love Warring of Fallburg for a pension on the account of the services of her husband Abram Warring deceased. Mrs Warring received from the War Department a circular under the date of the 18 th Oct 1837 giving general information in cases of the kind in which circular she was particularly referred to that part which requires the papers to be accompanied by a letter showing by whom they were sent. She wrote back as I am informed that she had employed me to transact the business for her requesting the returns to be made to me not having heard from the War Department on the occasion since the receipt of the circular information on the subject is respectfully solicited
Yours most Respectfully

Dear Sir:-
I wish a search of the revolutionary pension list for the name of Mrs Lucy Haring widow of Abraham (or Abraham) Haring. She drew a pension for seven years up to the time of her death which occurred in March eighteen hundred

fifty two. I will send check for expenses when I hear what is required.
Said "Dr Waring" was one of the men who helped place the chain across the at Newburgh Hudson to keep the British from going up the river, and was promised a Lieutenant's Commission for his services. But being near the close of the war the matter was dropped and he never received it. Is there any record of that?
Yours respectfully
