Dear Sir
M rs Chloe M ary Cullen of this place is the widow of William M ary Cullen a Soldier of the Revolution - as such she became entitled to a five years pension at the same rate for annum which her husband received as a pensioner of the Gov t during his life time - he died in February 1831 - the last payment - as also several which preceded the last was made in New York City - and as she was at the rate of Eight Dollars per Month - his pension certificate has probably long since been destroyed - The Widow's certificate is for Eighty Dollars per annum - Upon its first need I wrote in her behalf to the Hon Mr Pritchey - stating that she averred to be the Heir - and rec d for answer that he found the Department must engross her in its duties - he simply knowing that the amount allotted her

The absence of her husband's Certificate of Evidence - was given by computation It may be too much to ask of the other hands to cause the records of your Office for 1830: and for March 1831. to be examined - yet I trust that if convenient to seem to that portion relating to pension payments made in New York City for the above periods - that the Ode Lady's memory may prove not to have been treacherous - and that she may yet become the recipient of what the bounty of Congress designed she should enjoy - Her circumstances are very indigent, and at the advanced age of Eighty Two, the mantle of Charity should fall upon her - I trust dear Sir that yours will - and if the records of your Office shall warrant it, that her possibly few, and declining years may be cheered by the receipt of the full bounty designed her by the act of Congress -
I am dear Sir
with much respect
Yours -

was discharged by the Hon Mr Methuen with the written instructions of the depart- ment before him - The records of designating the Regiment or books in which her husband served, has perished or are beyond her reach - None that exists on the files of the department, presented if ever upon the opening of Centerville in 1838 - My sensitivities have become entitled in her favor and I feel distressed at the circumstances which retard the consummation of her hopes Yours W H Blake

Sir,
In reply to your letter of the 21 st ult, in the case of Mrs. Chloe McCuller widow of William McCuller, decd. I have to inform you that $80 per annum the rate of per is the highest rate of pension to which she is entitled. Under act of 7 July 1838, she is entitled to $80 per annum provided her husband served two years as a private. Under act of 18 th March 1818, eight dollars per month is allowed, provided at least nine months service was performed under one engagement in a regt or corps belonging to the Continental establishment. William McCuller served long enough to entitle his widow to the highest rate of pension under act 7 July 1838.

Sir,
Enclosed herewith is a printed sheet containing a copy of the act of the 3 d inst. and the form of a declaration under it.
The Mrs. Chloe McCuller is not entitled to a higher rate of pension than she has received. Pensions under the act of July 7. 1838 are allowed upon the principles of the law of June 7. 1832, which grants $80 per annum only to a revolutionary private soldier, for the longest period of service he could have performed. But the act of March 18. 1818 under which her deceased husband was pensioned, allowed $96 per annum to any one of that grade who served for on the continental establishment for nine months under one enlistment.

Cullen for the year ending March 4. 1844 - But Methurst Ex Minister of Congress writes me that as yet no Congress received her pension for one or more years has doubtless become a law - acting upon this national presumption, I simply forward her declaration - presuming that as the department has on file the certificate of Secy of State - stating that S. P. Smith has been fully constituted a justice of the Peace for Atrendon Township, Licking Co - Ohio - that the trouble and expense of receiving this certificate may be dispensed with - If I am wrong in this presumption may I be indebted to you for pointing in correcting the error - I am influenced in my conclusion - by the belief that the department wishes nothing more than to be protected from imposition - since that the fact of Mrs M. Cullen bearing upon two several occasions on the certificate of the War department will be seen as prima facie evidence of her title to your liberal war pension - I am with great respect
Yours W. W. Blake

fin. I have recd a letter from Mr. Heathfield a summary of the last paragraph in relation to the application of Mrs. McLaughlin, he states she was appointed under the law of 1838, and which expired by its own limit- ation. She had filed her application for the benefit of the act of 1863 and cannot get under the Pensions Act in which "her husband deceased, lived in Vermont when he obtained his pension, afterwards removed to New York and died there in 1831 or 1832". The declaration of Mr. McLaughlin will show the Regiment in which he served, I am requested if this shall be necessary, to furnish an attested copy of the McLaughlin declaration for the purpose of enabling her to obtain the benefit of the act of 1863. This I should hope would not be necessary, as the files of the office contain the proof in the great Pensions Act.

In reply to your enquiry I have the honor to inform you that the pension of Chloe McCuller is correctly adjusted at 80 8 1/2 an m under the act of 7 July 38 which grants such a pension as the service of her husband would entitle him under the act of 7 June 32 — Her husband's pension under the act of 18 March 1818 was by the terms of that act 8 8 1/2 mo

Dear Sir
I break out of my presumption, in attempting to divert your attention from more important matters — yet I feel that you will give the subject your serious attention —
Phoebe McCallen is now living, widow of William McCallen a Soldier of the Revolution. Who in his life time received Ninety Six Dollars per Annum — by act of Congress July 1838 — became entitled to a pension for five years — at the same rate that the said Wm — would have received had he been living — The department under the administration of your second predecessor — Mr Forsyth — granted her a Certificate for Eighty Dollars per Annum — As the act of Congress of 38. satisfied by the payment of Eighty Dollars per Annum — As now is Mrs McCallen entitled to further aid under said act — and what amount is she entitled to under the late act —
I have no personal interest — I make the enquiry in behalf of a declining and demipid nature bereft of all other aid — thus what remains of the bounty of her Country — I will feel obliged to Mr Edwards to furnish such papers as may be expedient to enable Mrs McCallen to receive under the late act — I am with great respect — yours Wm W Blake

Yours of the 19 th June together with its accompanying instructions were duly received. I am thereby informed that the proof of my identity contained in my former papers is satisfactory. I therefore enclose the affidavit required but have omitted to have it certified by the Clerk of the County for two reasons first because I live about seventeen miles from his office & it is attended with considerable expense to obtain his certificate & seal. & secondly because I have ventured to presume that the evidence contained in my former papers of the official character & signature of Nathaniel Church Junior Esquire will upon a comparison of his hand writing be satisfactory.
I am Sir yours respectfully Wm. M c Callar

Joel Pratt of Sterling in the County of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, testify and say, that William M c Culler of Ira in the County of Rutland and State of Vermont, was a private in the company commanded by Captain Daniel Barnes in the 15 th Massachusetts Regiment, in which company I was Lieutenant from the time of said M c Culler's enlistment in the year 1777, until the end of the war — The orders of enlistment were dated January 1 st 1777, and he enlisted for three years I think it was in the month of June 1777, and I have no doubt enlisted under the expectation, that his time would be out January 1 st 1780. — The reason of my belief in this, is that I enlisted several myself for the same company and Regiment, and this was the understanding at that time by myself and others — As the other Regiments were previously raised and it was expected that those who enlisted in Biglow's Regiment would face the same as the other soldiers — But on the first of January 1780 we were stationed at North Castle in the State of New York, the said M c Culler with about eighty others left the encampment under the idea that their term of service was out, they marched as far as Danbury in Connecticut where they remained for some time when I went under orders and marched them back to Camp — I gave them orders and they returned under my command without any opposition or guard. — There was a Court martial upon the subject of which I think Col. Bradford was President and Col. Brooks now Governor of Massachusetts was the Judge Advocate, the records of this Court are probably now in the War department. The thing was settled and the said M c Culler served his time out after this and had an honorable discharge in June 1780. according to my best knowledge and belief. — Joel Pratt.
