Sir,
In reply to your communication of the 31 st ultimo, making enquiry as to whether the children of Nottly Maddox, an alleged revolutionary soldier, are entitled to any pension in virtue of his services, I have the honor to state that he having died before the passage of the act of June 7 1832, nothing is due his children as arrear due him at his death. — There is no law giving the children of revolutionary soldiers any pension, except such  the arrear due as may be due their father or mother at the time of their death. —
There are various laws granting pensions to widows of revolutionary soldiers. Whether the children of Maddox would be entitled to any such arrear due their mother, would depend entirely upon the date of her marriage with Maddox lined and the date of her death. — If she till 4 th

July 1836, and was married prior to the last period of her husband's service, she was entitled and her children would inherit what was due her at her death - if she lived till 7 th July 1838 and was married prior to the year 1794 - or if she lived till 29 th July 1848 and was married prior at any time prior to the year 1800 - she would be entitled under the respective laws of the states indicated - Her children would not otherwise be entitled to any thing in her right.
Very respectfully DC
