My dear Mr. Garber:
In response to your letter of February 18, 1930, enclosing one from Mrs. James C. Hawkins, herewith returned, I have the honor to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 2953, it appears that Benjamin Mackall enlisted April 1, 1782, in Fredericktown, Maryland, served as private in Captains David Lynn's and Joseph Marbury's Companies, Major Thomas Lansdale's Maryland Regiment and was discharged July 17, 1784.
He was allowed pension on his application executed September 28, 1819, at which time he was aged fifty-six years and resided in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.
In 1821, he was residing in Virginia, but in 1826 he had returned to Pennsylvania.
He died September 6, 1830, at his residence in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.
The soldier married December 16, 1784, Rebecca, her maiden name not stated.
She was allowed pension on her application executed April 15, 1840, at which time she was aged seventy-six years and resided in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.
She died December 13, 1846, in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.
Benjamin and Rebecca Mackall had six children, the oldest born October 27, 1785, five of whom survived their mother: Jane, the widow of George Dawson; who stated that

Do not use this second time
she was between nine and ten years of age in 1840; James and John Mackall, all residing in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, in 1847, and Thomas Mackall and Eleanor, the wife of Benoni Blackmore, both living in Columbiana County, Ohio, in 1847. The name of the other child is not shown.
Due to the very large number of request similar to that of Mrs. Hawkins, and the lack of a clerical force available for the purpose, the bureau is unable to make prompt reply to each request pertaining to soldiers of the Revolution. Letters are being answered as rapidly as possible in order of receipt.
Very truly yours
May 24, 1930 -
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.
One Jane Dawson in 1840, stated that she was between nine and ten years of age in 1794 and
for several years prior thereto had lived in the family of Benjamin &
(Rebecca) Mackall, but it is not shown that she was the daughter, Jane.
Widow of George Dawson

Dear Sir
You enclose your a long Case, I hope it will also prove to be a strong Case.
The only doubt that I presume can exist will be as to the proof of marriage. Jane Dawson's claim is the only obstacle that prevents Benj: Makeall & wife to have been living together prior to 1794. The mode of expression you may think too vague and uncertain and certainly brings the proof within the law.
I know some of the Makeall family, and have no doubt of the older children being rising fifty years of age. I hope the decision will be a favorable one.

He applied to the Hon David Dunning Esq an Associate Judge in and for Berks County for the benefit of the act of congress passed the 18 th of March 1818 providing for certain persons engaged in the Land and Naval Service of the United States during the revolutionary war. That his said application from the war department was returned for further testimony. That on the 28 th day of September 1819. He again applied to the said David Dunning and adduced other and more proof. and sent it on to the war department, on which a Pension Certificate issued from the date of the last application instead of the first. That on last fall he put the Certificate of his Pension in the hand of Robert Moore then member of Congress to be sent on to the Pension Office to be rectified so as to draw his Pension from the date of his first application. Which now appears to have been lost as he never has seen it since he put it into the hand of the said Robert Moore. and the department further deposes he never on any person for him by his authority has drawn any money from the United States on said Certificate sworn and subscribed before me this 23 rd day of April 1821

In the month of September or October last Benjamin Mackall put his certificate of Pension into my hands to be transmitted to the war department for correction which to the best of my recollection I enclosed in a letter directed to the Secy of war. It appears it is either lost or mislaid. I cannot find it in my possession now, and I feel pretty certain I deposited it in the post office here in Beaver directed to the City of Washington - From any information I am possessed of I believe Mackall never drew any money on it as it was apparent he was entitled to more than the certificate would authorize him to draw I rec d the certificate at Washington and know such a paper once existed. I hope there will be no difficulty in giving a correct one on the proof here with sent - Hon J.C. Calhoun Esq. Robert Moore
