to the State Troops of Rhode Island, and served for sometime as Ensign; that sometime in the year 1777 or the forepart of the year 1778 he was commissioned as Lieutenant and continued in the service until sometime in the fall of the year 1779; that he was stationed a part of the time at Tiverton and Fall River she believes; that she cannot now recollect the names of the officers under whom he then served; that she cannot now, on account of her advanced age relate the particulars of his different periods of service, but would refer to the Declaration made by her said deceased husband in the year 1818 or 1819 in order to obtain a pension under the Act of 1818, which Declaration she supposes, is on file in the Pension Office; that the said Elias drew a pension for one year under that Act of 1818 & that it was then suspended by the operation of the Act of Congress passed May 1 st 1820; that for the year he drew a pension he received the pay of a Lieutenant; that she has no documentary evidence in her hands to support her claim; that does not know what became of the pension certificate which was granted to her husband, unless the same is in the hands or possession of Thomas H.

James L. Edmund Esq. Commission of Pensions,
Sir,
In relation to the case of Mrs. Agnes Jackson, I enclose a letter from her Brother, Joseph Alexander Esq. of this City, and concur with him in the opinion that it would be best for her to accept a Certificate for the allowance which we under- -stand from your letter, you think her entitled to, from the proofs now in your office, rather than to delay the matter, by seeking for further proof of her Husband's services as a private -
I will only add that Mr. Alexander is a Gentle- -man of high standing in this community - and an
Sir, with great respect,
Yours & Sir, L. Jenkins.

Sir,
On the 20 th of Oct. last I mailed to you the papers in the case of Mrs Agnes Jackson in support of her application for a pension under the act of July '36, together with a letter of which I now send you copy, to which I have not yet received an answer -
Mr. Alexander informs me that he has made inquiry & learns that Mrs. Jackson's papers are not found in the files of your office - I am certain that I sent them to you, as above mentioned, and have to request that you will have the goodness to cause diligent search to be made for them - As Mrs. Jackson resides in the State of Ohio , it is possible to her papers may have been filed with the application from that State - Her Brother, Mr. Alexander, resides here, & is well known to Mr. Luce.
Very Respectfully Yours & Servt L. Jackson

P.S. I am informed by Mr. Alexander that the application was under the act of July '38 & not of July '36 -

The papers of Mrs Agnes Jackson widow of Elias Jackson have been examined and filed - The claimants husband it would appear from his declarations under the act of 1818 was in the service under Lieut Col Douglas from April 1775 to January 1776  at Roxbury  for instance  as a  may be found in the office of the Comptroller of Connecticut  is also found in the office of the  twelve months as  for instance in Capt Winters Company Col Sillmans regt in 1776 12 months from the 10 th March 1778 to the 20 th May 1779 as a Lieutenant in Col Dashiels regt of Rhode Island state troops - The last term of service is confirmed by the rolls in this office - Of the first, proof may be had by application to the Comptroller of the state of Con- necticut. Of the second it may be found that Col Sillmans regt was not raised until June time in the month of June 1776 to continue in service until the 25 th December following unless sooner discharged - The term of service was in that regiment was about six months - Mrs Jackson was married it appears in the month of September 1780 her claim therefore  was not  claimed or permitted under  by the law of July 4. 1836: but falls to be embraced by that of 7 th July 1838 - a copy of which

J. L. Edwards Esq Commissioner of Pension, Washington

Albany June 18. 1839 —
Sir — L. Jenkins Esq. has put into my hands your letter of the 15. th inst. ? which states if I correctly understand it, that my Sister, Agnes Jackson, widow of Elias Jackson is entitled to a pension for her late husband's services, under the law of Congress of July 7. 1838. — That is to say — As Lieutenant from the 18. th of March 1778. to the 20. th of May 1779. being about 14 months. Also also, as Sergeant in Col. Selden's Reg. t from the time it was raised in June 1776 to the 25. th of December following. If I am correct in this, and it is consistent with the rules of your office, I would prefer, in behalf of my Sister (who is in necessitous circumstances,) that she should now receive a Certificate for a pension for his services as Lieut. t and Serg. t — receiving her claim for his services, as a private until the regular proof shall be obtained from the Comptroller of Connecticut if indeed it shall be considered, by my Sister worth the necessary expense & trouble of procuring such proof.
As Mr. Jackson resides in the north part of Ohio, in Medina County, at a great distance from any Pension office, and having no competent person to attend to her pension, if one is granted, it would be considered, by her, a particular favor if her name could be registered in the office in this City (Albany) where she might empower some to act for her, and where she could receive her pension without expense or being subject to discount — To J. L. Edwards Esq. very respectfully Commissioner of Pensions Washington Your obed. t Servt. Joseph Alexander

Enclosed I send you the schedule of Elias Suckrow for the purpose of being continued on the Pension List. His property and his labour has thus far enabled him to support himself, which has prevented his sooner applying to be restored.
He has lately received an injury in his back which prevents his doing the least kind of labour, and from which there is no prospect of his recovering, his claim is therefore probably as strong as any that is presented.
Respectfully Yours

In reply to your letter of the 22 d inst.
