to the right honorable Secretary at war
Dear Sir I take the liberty of sending a few lines to you on a very important occasion thinking that your honor will not refuse to give the united States when it appears to your satisfaction that they are defrauded of what is there due. The fact is that one Harley High Sage a petitioner who lives in this Town and who by his own confession states that he was the sole owner of real property to the amount of eight hundred dollars which property is a good two story frame house and nine lots adjoining said house. Sir this property he owned at the time that the pension law took effect which can be proven by a great number of respectable gentlemen and sir as you know when the amendment in that act was made, the 20 th of June following he conveyed his property to his step son Elias Pratt the record thereof will show for its self. Besides this property he is a very good tradesman he will not work for no man for less than from one dollar to one dollar and 50 cents per day and is a man of a small family a wife and one child I think sir that these engagers ought to be refunded by some means or other for my part as a citizen of the united States I feel that they ought not to be so engaged to let this man go in the same way that he has been is doing great injury to the citizens of every state in the union.

sir I will name a few of the gentlemen that can testify the truth of what I have stated viz George Woolsey Dist Recorder Dr Dilano Esq Cochran Esq George Eavens Esq John Robinson John A. Keatt George Donaldson Dist Post master Jacob Hage And myself besides a number of other respectable gentlemen who are known to the fact I wish you to take this deeply into consideration and I shall expect to hear from you shortly no more at present but remains your humble servant George Sawther

Mrs. E. W. Mathews, Jr. 3168 Indianola Avenue Columbus, Ohio
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you state you are endeavoring to find the name of the husband of Lucinda Stage Pratt, and asking information in regard to Thomas and William Pratt, soldiers of the War of the Revolution.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon the military service of soldiers in that war.
A search of Revolutionary War records has been made in your behalf and no claim for pension or bounty land found based upon the services of either Thomas or William Pratt, who served in the Virginia troops or resided in Virginia after the Revolution.
You are furnished herein the Revolutionary War record of Harlehigh Sage, whose widow, Lucinda, was formerly the widow of William Pratt of Virginia, and the data given below were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 5972, based upon the Revolutionary War service of Harlehigh Sage.
Harlehigh Sage enlisted in May, 1780 and served as private in Captain David Strong's company in Colonel Bradley's Connecticut regiment, was transferred to Colonel Johnson's Connecticut regiment, and was discharged in January, 1782.
He was allowed pension on his application exe-

cuted April 10, 1818, then fifty-four years of age and a resident of Harrison Township, Pickaway County, Ohio.
The soldier, Harlehigh Sage, died January 8, 1828 in Pickaway County, Ohio.
Harlehigh Sage married December 26, 1811 in Pickaway County, Ohio, Lucinda Pratt, the widow of William Pratt. She stated that she married William Pratt in March, 1795 in Stoverstown, near Strasburg, Virginia, that said William Pratt was a soldier of the Virginia Continental Line, and that he died in November, 1805.
The widow, Lucinda Sage, was allowed pension on account of the services of her husband, Harlehigh Sage, on her application executed February 15, 1854, then aged seventy-five years and living in Pickaway County, Ohio.
Harlehigh Sage in 1820 referred to his daughter, Emily, as aged eight years, and at that time stated that he had two stepsons, Elias Pratt being the eldest, he did not give the name of the other stepson, nor did he give the ages of his stepsons. In 1822 he referred to his own children, a son living about nine miles from him and to his little daughter, nine years old, names not designated.

To all whom it may concern this will certify. — That for two years past I have been personally acquainted with Harleigh High Selige and believe him to labor under an infelicity of constitution as to render him unfit for the more arduous employment of manual exercise — He also is afflicted with a mind infirmity or humor which in all probability will attend him through life and which partially unfits both young and old for laborious employment — His advanced age, imbecile constitution and patriotic zeal in establishing and maintaining liberty and independence are of heaven best gifts to man. Justly entitles him to the favor and patronage of the Legislature — Through the industry and economy of his wife he has hitherto been blessed with a moderate competence but to the human view this source must ultimately fail — then Bloomfield N.

I, Joseph Olds of Circleville in the county of Pickaway and State of Ohio, of lawful age and being first duly sworn, depose and say— That I have been more than three years ac- quainted with Harleigh Sage of Bloomfield in said county, that in the year eighteen hundred and nineteen I owned a printing office in the Town of Circleville aforesaid, in company with one William B. Thrall, that some time in the summer of that year, Harleigh Sage purchased at our office a blank deed for the purpose as he then stated of conveying some lots in the Town of Bloomfield, on which he then lived and on which I believe he now lives. He told me that the proper- ty in those lots principally belonged to his oldest step son Elias Pratt though the legal title was in himself. This was several months before the passage of the act of Congress for the amend- ment of the pension law as it is called, which passed the house of Representatives the first day of May 1820, as appears by the Journal of that body, and also several months prior to the sitting of congress at that session, and I think that the said Harleigh Sage, could not at the time when he made those declarations respecting those town lots and purchased that deed, have had any intimation that such an amendment to that

law was in the contemplation of any member of that Congress. I further state that the said Sage gave me directions for filling up the said blank deed, and put into my hands all his title papers which I believe lay among my papers till after the passage of the law before mentioned. I having delayed to fill up the blank for want of leisure time and some further direction from the said Sage. I also state that the character of the said Harlehigh Sage for truth and veracity and for honesty in his dealings is as good as that of any other man in my acquaintance.

Andrew Austin Clerk

Bloomfield, Ohio,
July 16 th 1822
Sir
I have lately received a letter from Mr Edwards of your office, notifying me that the information had been received at your office, that I am "the sole owner of real property to the amount of eight hundred Dollars " and that I "did on the 20 th of June 1820 convey the same to my step-son, Elias Pratt, with a view of having my pension continued." Your readings at all times to serve the soldiers of the Revolution, and your willingness in this case to give me opportunity to disprove the charge against me, have encouraged me, while sending on certain affidavits, to write freely to you on the subject. It is my wish, Sir, to satisfy you although I did convey that property at that time, that I never was the real owner of it. In the first place your informants have greatly overrated the value of that property, as you will see by the certificate (paper No. 1) of an appraisement made by four free holders of this county, who I will venture to say are among the most respectable and judicious of our citizens. When I married the widow Pratt in the year 1811, she was administratrix of the estate of her first husband, and acted as guardian of her two sons, who were then old enough to earn their support. I never had any interest in their  of my step-sons earnings, by our laws. I bought those nine lots with their property and held them in trust for them. Since my second marriage I have not been able by my own labor to accumulate any property. [See the deposition of Mr Chase, paper No. 2] The property before mentioned, would not bear division, and consequently was conveyed to the eldest of my step-sons, according to an agreement between him and his brother. This conveyance was made in perfect good faith. Had I considered that little property my own, I should have given to my own children rather than my step children. I have a little Daughter, 9 years old, now with me unprovided for, and an own son, but 9 miles from me who has been a dutiful child.

Paper No 3 is the is the affidavit of Joseph Olds, showing that I purchased a blank deed and ordered that conveyance before the alteration of the pension law, and before I could have had any intimation that an alteration was about to be made. Paper No 4 is the affidavit of William Seymour, an associate judge of the court before which I exhibited my schedule and took the oath, showing that the court were apprized of the conveyance at that time, and were satisfied that I was in justice bound to make it as I did. Paper No 5 is the affidavit of Ezra Webb, Surgeon, of the state of my health and ability to labour. Paper No 6 is the certificate of the clerk of the court of Common Pleas of this county, of the official character of certain persons therein named. — I could forward additional testimony of the same facts, but fearing it might be troublesome to you, to examine all the testimony which I might send, I have thought it better not to multiply affidavits at this time. Should what I have sent not be deemed sufficient to satisfy you of the propriety and honesty of this transaction, I beg, Sir, that you would suspend your final decision as to my pension and direct me what further testimony to forward, as my support for the remainder of my days depends principally on the bounty of my country, or the charity of my countrymen. — If, Sir, you should feel at liberty to give me the names of your informants, it is probable I might know better how to meet their charge. I know of only one combination against me, and this combination is the result of a fortuitous circumstance and not of any evil act of mine. I was called on a few years ago, to witness the execution of a last will for the devise of a very valuable estate made principally to one son. The other heirs, viz, Jonathan Holmes, John Robinson, George Evans, and Abraham Holmes, contested the validity of said will in chancery. I being one of the principal witnesses on the part of the will, the hopes of the contestants resting much

on the destruction of my testimony they have used every exertion for three years past to find something to invalidate it, but not being able at the time of trial which was in May last, to bring a single witness to impeach my character for veracity, I strongly suspect that they have laid hold of this conveyance, for the purpose of possible to injure my credibility, hoping thereby either to obtain a new view of the decree made against them in that case, or to satisfy some malicious desire of revenge. It is possible that they have communicated to you through some one of their attorneys, I will here fore give you their names, viz Henry Brush, William C  Crighton , Dison Beecher, and Richard Douglass. I am writing Sir, that this whole transaction should be thoroughly investigated, and if I have perjured myself under the laws of the U.S. I am willing to answer for it. The U.S. court at Columbus is only 17 miles from me, all the witnesses against me can attend with little trouble. I have aspired to establish a free government, and I wish the laws of that government to be honored and enforced. I have served my country in her distress, and received tokens of her gratitude in my distress, and I still have the assurance to believe that she will not suffer the false and malicious representations of those who feel no reverence for the grey hairs of a veteran, to hang me down to the grave which at all events must soon receive me. I am confident it will not be done under the sanction of your authority.
I am, Sir, with great consideration
Your most obed. and humble Servt.

The Hon. J. C. Calhoun,
Secretary of War of the U.S.

I, William Seymore, an Associate Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Pickaway County and State of Ohio, do hereby make oath and certify to the Honorable Secretary of War of the U.S. That I have been a long time acquainted with Harleigh Sage of said county, his character for truth and veracity is good. That previous to his application for a pension under the first pension law of the U.S. said Sage told me that he was under obligation to convey those lots in Bloomfield to his step-sons when they should come of age or claim it. That he was not the real owner of that property. And I believe it was generally understood by persons acquainted with the condition of Sage's family, that those lots were pur- chased with the earnings of the step-sons or with proper- ty in the family at the time Sage married into it. At the November term of our court 1828, when said Sage exhibited his schedule and took the oath as required by the amended pension law of 1828, his conveyance was talked of in court, and from what I knew of the situation of said Sage's family, I was satisfied that he was in justice bound to make that conveyance, and that it was made in good faith, and not with a view of hav- ing his pension wrongfully continued; and I believe my fellow judges were also satisfied. I believe that efforts have been made for three years past by Messrs. Holmes Robinson Evans and Holmes, contestants of a will whose execution was witnessed by said Sage, to injure his credibility, yet his character remains unimpeached in our courts, and full credit is given to his testimony.

Dear Sir, I herewith transmit application of Mrs. Lucinda Dage, an old neighbor of mine. She is in possession of other facilities, is remarkably active physically & mentally, yet owing to the great length of time since the war of 1812, she has forgotten the name of the officers, dates, company and regiment, and has also forgotten the # of the band warrant. I wish you would cause the records to be searched and dispose of her case as soon as convenient.

Madam:
In response to your letter dated February 25, 1906 and received February 26, 1906, you are advised that this Bureau has no records relative to Colonial Wars, nor has it any data in regard to genealogical matters except that filed in individual claims for pension, and in order to identify such claims the full name of the soldier is essential.
A careful search of the records of this Bureau fails to show that a claim was filed on account of the service of David Ensign in the Revolutionary War.
The papers in the claim, Widow File No. 5972, show that Harlehigh Sage enlisted May 1779 or 1780, and served as Private for one year and eight months in Capt. David Strong's Co., Colonels Bradley and Johnson's Connecticut Regiment S . He was allowed pension under an application executed April 10, 1818, at which time he resided in Harrison Township, Pickaway Co., Ohio, 54 yrs. He died January 8, 1828. in Pickaway Co. Ohio
His widow, Lucinda, was allowed pension under an application executed February 15, 1854, at which time she resided in Pickaway Co., Ohio, and was seventy-five years of age. In March

1795, she had married William Pratt, a soldier of the Virginia Continental Line. He died in November 1805, and she married Harlehigh Sage, in December 1811. Their daughter Emily was eight years old in 1820. a 26  a 200
