Mr. Chester N. Jones, 756 Broad Street, Newark, N. J.
Sir:-
In response to your letter dated the 34 th ultimo, you are advised that in the report of the Secretary of War in relation to the Pension Establishment of the United States, which was printed in 1835, on the list of invalid pensioners of Bergen County, New Jersey, appears as follows: James Jerolman - Lieutenant Fourth Regiment New York Militia, pensioned at the rate of twenty-four dollars per annum under the Act of June 7, 1785, from June 7, 1780, placed on the roll in 1788, increased by the Act of April 24, 1816, to twenty-seven dollars and twenty cents per annum.
There is no further data in this Bureau relative to said pensioner, owing to the destruction of papers when the British burned Washington in 1814; nor are there any papers in the Bureau relative to the increase of pensions under the Act of April 24, 1816.
Very respectfully,
Acting Commissioner.
since this letter was written the old pension was found in a drawer of old papers. Nothing else found remain pertaining to the claim - AW. Dec. 17, 1917
