As a result of her of David Jones a soldier of the Revolution I write to enquire whether, in case the evidence prove satisfactory as to identity of parties, the child of a deceased soldier who died on or about Ap 13 32 having a widow who died in Sep 1859 & a child still surviving, would be entitled to the pension or pay to which the soldier would be entitled or his widow, provided they had applied before their death. or whether the child is entitled to any thing under this state of the case. If so please for? form to be filled and rules to be complied with in application and other necessary papers & information compatible with the rules of your office.
The case is this as full as I can now state it.
David Jones Intested (as is supposed)

at least entered service when about 18 years of age in 1777 or 1778 and served 5 years, 29 months. He entered the service in the State of New York plan not known nor officer nor Regt. - Was wounded by a ball which entered in front & came out at the side of back bone. Was a part of the unit in sea service supposed to be privateers - but most of the time in the artillery service and served as Bombardier, Gunner or Matross. In one battle blood gushed from his ears from the effect of the discharge of the guns. Had this discharge until a few years before his death in 1852, when it was lost or burned - Was discharged at close of the war.
The situation and appearance of wound and fact that he stated that he rec d it in service - as also the marriage and death of the hus- band & wife & identity by the heirs can be proved.
The service cannot be proved by any evidence now accessible in New York. Does any evidence of his service exist in New York?

Statements appear in the Rolls can file in your office and would be compatible with the rules of the office to grant such ad- distances as would enable the case to be made out.
I prosecute the case in good faith for the heir and ask nothing of the department con- trary to their rules is incompat- ible with justice to Govt & the claimant. But if any evidence exists in file which will en- able the claimant to perfect the case and fill up the va- cancy which naturally occurs under like circumstances in the most deserving case, I should be most thankful for the aid. Of course the child can not state the service or test of the father. She can only give so much of the history learned from him in his life time, and as she can recollect as well, if evidence is on file prove the identity of the soldier & service and her own identity as her.

as early and a full and satis- factory reply to this as the nature of the rules of your office will permit will be thankfully use. By your respectfully
Isaac H. Wright

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of George Burton, pensioned while living in Jefferson County, Indiana, and David Jones who served in the Virginia militia and died in Jefferson County, Indiana, in 1836.
The record of David Jones is furnished herein as found in the papers on file in pension claim, W. 10150, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
It is presumed that you are interested in Revolutionary War data. George Burton, cited above, was not pensioned for service in the Revolutionary War; his service was in the Northwest Indian War.
David Jones was born in the year 1769, in King George County, Virginia; the day of his birth and names of his parents are not shown.
While residing in Virginia (that part called Kanawha County in 1833), he enlisted in August or September 1776, served as a private in Captain Matthew Arbuckle's Virginia company and was stationed at Point Pleasant for about two years, after which, he enlisted and served as private in Captain Dawson's and Heath's company, Colonel Gibson's Virginia regiment at Fort Pitt, and was discharged at expiration of service of one year and seventeen days.
After his service, he resided in Nelson County, Kentucky, and in Jefferson County, Indiana.
David Jones was allowed pension on his application executed

February 11, 1833, at which time she resided in Jefferson County, Indiana.
David Jones died May 6, 1836 in Jefferson County, Indiana.
The soldier married February 4, 1789 or February 4, 1790 in Nelson County, Kentucky, Rebecca Rutherford, shown also Rebekah Rutherford. They were married by a Baptist Minister.
Rebecca Jones, the soldier's widow, was allowed pension on her application executed May 14, 1839, at which time she resided in Shelby Township, Jefferson County, Indiana. She was then aged seventy-three years; the date and place of her birth and names of her parents are not shown.
One John Jones made affidavit in behalf of David Jones in Kanawha County, Virginia, in 1827; he stated then that he served a part of the time with him at Point Pleasant, and that following that service he went to Culpeper County, Virginia; he did not state any relationship between them.
Very truly yours,

Pension Office, June 25, 1860.
Sir,
In reply to your enquiries of the 6 th instant I have to state that children of revolutionary soldiers are not entitled to pension in their own right; nor can they establish and recover unadjusted pension claims which might have become due their parents had they been adjusted during their lives. Such children are only entitled to arrears of pension due their parents as pensioners .
I find that a Daniel Jones & and his widow, (Rebecca Jones) of lot of Madison County, Indiana were pensioners of the United States, but they did not die at the dates mentioned in your letter. The former latter widow appears to have lived latter until 1849.

Sir,
Please find enclosed the names to prove the marriage of Mrs. Jones to whose application for a pension I beg leave to refer you.
You will find that she is the widow of David Jones who was a pensioner.
The subject is one to which I have paid but little attention for several years and consequently lack that facility and proficiency which would result from practice. This application, permit me to intimate, has been pending a long time, and it is very desirable that it should be disposed of as the old lady cannot be expected to live long to enjoy whatever may come from this source. Your attention at your earliest convenience will very much oblige

And early in February last I forwarded claim of Jacob Tague X for increase of pension. The two last communications were made in behalf of J. F. D. Lanius Pension Agent.
Since the transmission of above I have written twice viz. on 10 & 29 March asking for information why returns have not been made, to neither of which communications, nor to the letters covering the documents, have I received any reply.
Presuming that from the change to your department those papers & letters may have been mislaid, I have to request in behalf of those concerned who stand much in need of the monies due them that you will cause immediate attention to be given to those claims
Indeed such is the necessity of Jacob Tague that he has requested me to recall his Old Pension Certificate if the increase cannot be immediately granted.
