Wid.Rej.5532, Lois, widow of Enoch Jacobs, Rev. War.
Jan. 18, 1905.
Madam:
In reply to your inquiry concerning the Revolutionary services of Enoch Jacobs, of North Haven, Conn., you are advised that the report from the Secretary of War shows Enoch Jacobs pensioned at the rate of $45 per annum from September 4, 1794, in a list of invalid pensioners at the Connecticut Agency, whose papers were lost in the destruction of the War Office in 1801 and 1814. His application is not on file.
His widow, Lois (Parker) Jacobs, applied for pension October 12, 1838, at which time she was a resident of North Haven, Conn., and seventy-six years of age.
She stated that her husband was a private in the Revolutionary army, where he was severely wounded when in the faithful discharge of his duty, bravely fighting the enemy, on account of which wounds he was placed on the Invalid Pension roll of the Connecticut Agency at $45 a year from September 4, 1794. She was married to Enoch Jacobs at North Haven December 3, 1787, and he died March 6, 1797.
Her claim was rejected on the ground of her failure to re-establish the soldier's service, as the regulations of the 27th of June, 1832, require.

In 1852, Randall Jacobs, aged sixty-four years, stated that his mother, Lois Jacobs, died in June, 1839; and she was the second wife of Enoch Jacobs who served under Gen. Wooster in the Connecticut troops.
Very respectfully,
Acting Commissioner.

in the other it should be shown by evidence that her late husband the individual borne on the rolls by the same name Louis Jacobs widow of Enoc Jacobs deceased. There are no papers on file as her late husband recd an invalid pension June 14 and con- sequently lost his papers by the subsequent conflagration of the War Office. It is therefore necessary that the claim for which her claim is asserted should be set forth & estab- lished as the regulations of 27 June 1832 require. x x x x x x x x
