J. L. Edwards Esq
I am requested by the widow of a Revolutionary soldier and pensioner to obtain for her the benefit of the Law entitled "An Act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows". Her name is Sarah H. Ingersoll . She is the widow of Artemadous Ingersoll of Luzerne County who served in Revolutionary war in the capacity of a private. He obtained a pension up to the 21 st of September 1839 when he died. His widow, remains unmarried, is in destitute circumstances, needs and I think deserves a pension. She has just made her desire known to me, and Court does not sit in this County until the 3 rd of April coming and if I recollect the Act expires on the 4 th of March next, so that it will be impossible to get the application regularly made before the Law expires. They were married in 1789 and moved from another state in this County where they have resided about forty years, hence it will be difficult to obtain evidence of the marriage from living witnesses. For I suppose those present at the ceremony are either dead or so scattered that they cannot be found. Will secondary evidence be admitted? Will you favour me with a copy of the rules under which an applicant must bring herself before she is entitled to the benefit of the said Act, and state what evidence necessary for her can be obtained from your Department. Direct to Charles Denison Atty at Law Wilkes-Barre Luzerne County Penna.
