Pension Office, Feb. 28 th 1861.
Sir:-
I have the honor to return the letter of M. A. Richardson, Esq., & to inform you that an  has been application offered to have made in behalf of Mrs. Martha or Patsey Jones, widow of Charles, for a pension upon the service of her husband in the revolution. This application, however, was made in So. Carolina, (Spartanburg) District, & was executed in April 1855. - Service is alleged to have been rendered in No. Carolina, & a certificate of service, by a Charles Jones is filed with the application, from the Comptroller of A. C. - There is no proof showing a connection of the claimant's husband with the man who rendered the service reported as above. -
It does not appear by whom the above application was filed, but it is not probable that it is the case referred to by Mr. Richardson. There is no evidence of service of claimant's husband in this office.
Rev. H. A. Edmundson - Asst. of Rep.
