Department of the Interior,
PENSION OFFICE,
Washington, D. C.,
May 23 1884.
Sir
In response to your inquiry in regard to the title of heirs of Catharine McKnight your attention is called to paragraph No. 5 below:
 1. There is no provision of law granting Army pension for service only in the Mexican war, or any Indian or other war since the Revolution, except the war of 1812 (see paragraph 4). Pensions are allowed for said wars only to those who were wounded or injured or contracted disease in line of duty, or to the widows and children under sixteen years of those who died from wounds or injuries received or diseases contracted as aforesaid.  2. The law does not grant a pension either to a father, mother, or brothers and sisters, of a soldier or sailor, for any service rendered by him prior to the 4th day of March, 1861.  3. The Act of January 25, 1879, and amendment, generally known as the Arrears Act, does not provide for granting arrears of pension in cases where disability is due to, or death ensues from, a cause originating in the service prior to the 4th day of March, 1861, nor in cases where pension has been allowed for service only, to wit: 1812 service pensions.  4. Sections 4736 to 4740, Revised Statutes, make provision for the allowance of pension to soldiers and sailors of the war of 1812 who served for a period of sixty days and who were honorably discharged from the service, and to the widows of said soldiers and sailors, provided they were married prior to the treaty of peace, February 17, 1815. Loyalty to the United States Government during the late rebellion is required under above sections. Act March 9, 1878, provides for all soldiers or sailors of the war of 1812 (or their widows, irrespective of date of marriage), who served for fourteen days, or who were in any battle, and who were honorably discharged from the service. But these provisions do not extend to the children or any other heirs, nor are the survivors pensioned under the provisions of this law entitled to any increase by reason of increase of disability, age, infirmity, &c., the law fixing the rate at $8 per month for all ranks.  5. The following section of the Revised Statutes shows the only condition under which any allowance can be made to any heirs of a Revolutionary soldier, to wit: "Section 4742. From and after the 2d day of April, 1862, no claim for a pension or for an increase of pension shall be allowed in favor of the children or other descendants of any person who served in the war of the Revolution, or of the widow of such person, when such person or his widow died without having established a claim to a pension." But the widow of a Revolutionary soldier who served fourteen days or more, may obtain a service pension under the Act of March 9, 1878.  6. Any arrears which may be due a deceased pensioner can be paid only under the provisions of section 4718 of the Revised Statutes, and where no payment of the pension has been made for a period of three years, the arrears cannot be collected until the pensioner's name has been restored to the rolls under the provisions of section 4719, Revised Statutes. (See back of this circular.)  7. The widow or minor children of a sailor who served in the Navy prior to the 4th day of March, 1861, is entitled to a pension only in the event of his death while in the Navy, from injury or wounds received or disease contracted while in the line of duty.  8. The granting of pension for ten or twenty years' service in the Navy under sections 4756 and 4757, Revised Statutes, is wholly in the hands of the Hon. Secretary of the Navy, and all communications relative thereto should be addressed to the Chief of the Bureau of Equipment and Recruiting, Navy Department, Washington, D. C. A duplicate application should, however, be filed in the Pension Office.  9. Any service rendered subsequent to the 3d day of March, 1855, does not give title to bounty in lands, and the service rendered before that date, to give title, must have been at least fourteen days in and during some one of the recognized wars in which this country has been engaged.  10. Copies of Discharges can be furnished by this Office only when the originals have been filed with claims made on account of services rendered prior to March 4, 1861. For certificates in lieu of lost Discharges from service since March 4, 1861, application should be made to the Adjutant General of the Army.  11. Inquiries relative to the assignment of Bounty Land Warrants should be addressed to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, and also all communications in regard to homestead lands for services during the late rebellion.  12. Communications in regard to back pay, extra pay, and bounty in money for Army service, should be addressed to the Honorable Second Auditor, United States Treasury Department, and for extra pay, prize money, &c., for naval service, to the Honorable Fourth Auditor, United States Treasury Department. 
Very respectfully,
Wm. Dudley Commissioner.

SEC. 4718. If any pensioner has died or shall hereafter die, or if any person entitled to a pension, having an application therefor pending, has died or shall hereafter die, his widow, or if there is no widow, the child or children of such person under the age of sixteen years shall be entitled to receive the accrued pension to the date of the death of such person. Such accrued pension shall not be considered as a part of the assets of the estate of deceased, nor liable to be applied to the payment of the debts of said estate in any case whatever, but shall inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of the widow or children; and if no widow or child survive, no payment whatsoever of the accrued pension shall be made or allowed, except so much as may be necessary to re-imburse the person who bore the expenses of the last sickness and burial of the decedent, in cases where he did not leave sufficient assets to meet such expenses.
SEC. 4719. The failure of any pensioner to claim his pension for three years after the same shall have become due shall be deemed presumptive evidence that such pension has legally terminated by reason of the pensioner's death, remarriage, recovery from the disability, or otherwise, and the pensioner's name shall be stricken from the list of pensioners, subject to the right of restoration to the same on a new application by the pensioner, or, if the pensioner is dead, by the widow or minor children entitled to receive the accrued pension, accompanied by evidence satisfactorily accounting for the failure to claim such pension, and by medical evidence in cases of invalids who were not exempt from biennial examinations as to the continuance of the disability.

Hon. Job Mann.
Dr. Sir. In the matter of the application of Mrs. McIntire the widow of John McIntire a soldier of the Revolutionary War, I have understood, that a difficulty has arisen in the Department at Washington in regard to the identity of the S r . John McIntire there being of two persons of that name on the Rolls, one of whom had served only seven months and was from Westmoreland County Penn te . I do certify that I well know a John McIntire of Westmoreland Co. and that I have heard him talk about the war of the Revolution and that he had served a term of duty in that war. I knew him I think from the year 1810. until 1814. he was often at my Father's House & I have often heard him relate to my Father incidents of the war which led me to believe that he had been a Soldier. I am sure he was not the John McIntire who had served from Chester County Pa and whose widow is now applying for a Pension. The John McIntire of Westmoreland County has been dead 30 years.

Washington City Aug t 6 th 1880 Col. J. L. Edwards Commissioner of Pensions.
Dear Sir,
I herewith send a certificate of Hon. James Bell, one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of Westmoreland County Penn a , a gentleman of high standing, and worthy of entire confidence - as to his knowledge respecting the service of a certain John McIntire, and whose widow has applied for increase of Pension. He explains the matter as to there being one of that name that served in Chester Co., Penn a , being the husband of Mrs. Catharine McIntire, whose application is now before your Department, and another of same name that served with the Westmoreland Troops, or Company. This is sent as additional evidence in the application for increase of her Pension -
Yours, W. S. Lee, Secy.

Washington, D.C. May 23, 1884
Sir,
In response to your letter of the 16 th inst, addressed to the Hon. C. E. Boyle, by him referred to this office, claiming an increase of the pension originally allowed to Catharine McIntyre, as the widow of John McIntyre, a soldier from Pennsylvania in the war of the Revolution, you are advised that it appears from an application for increase, which was presented in 1850, and from the correspondence with the Hon. Job Mann relative to the same, that the annual rate of $23 33 / 100 as allowed, was, according to the evidence, all that the widow could be entitled to. The widow having failed in her lifetime to establish her title to an increase of her pension, there is no law existing which gives to her children, or other heirs, the right to prosecute the claim after her decease.
Your attention is invited to the enclosed printed circular which refers to the law that prevents the favorable consideration of a claim to an increase of pension, when presented after the decease of a revolutionary soldier and his widow. It is against the rule of the Department to furnish the

original or copy of any essential paper, except the Soldiers Certificate of discharge from the United States Service, filed in a claim before this Office, except upon a call of a Court in which it is required for litigation not against the general government.
Very respectfully

Personally appeared before me One of the judges of the Court of Common Pleas in and for Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, William Johnston who being sworn according to law, saith that he was well acquainted with John McIntire and Catharine his wife. She said John McIntire and wife lived with me about three years from eighteen hundred and eleven until the year eighteen hundred and thirteen. Left a boarding house during the above time. I had frequent conversations with said McIntire relative to his services in the Revolutionary War I well recollect hearing him say he entered the service as a private in the year Seventeen hundred and seventy, in that when he entered the service of the United States he then lived in Chester County, Pennsylvania, that he belonged to the the First Pennsylvania Regiment in the Pennsylvania Line and that he was in the following battles viz. The battle of Trenton, Germantown, and Brandywine, when under General Washington and that he was in the battle of Monmouth and that General Wayne was the General at that battle and further that he was at the battle of the Clouds and that Morgan was his Colonel, in this battle. This said McIntire I well knew to be a true man and that he was a Blacksmith by trade when he entered the service and that he was a Scotchman by birth and that he was a man of good moral character and that his statements would be received as truth by all who knew him, his wife now lives in Westmoreland County Pennsylvania and who now draws a small Pension from the United States. She is Poor and I am fully satisfied from his statements to me and from other traditional evidence that the entire service was performed by the said John McIntire and from my long acquaintance with him, wife and family I have full confidence in the correctness of his statements being corroborated by traditional evidence and further will not.

My Dr Sir when I left Washington City the 4 th of March Last the case of Mrs Catherine McIntire widow of John McIntire was taken up upon My Request and that of Job M c Lean and Captain Tiptit and Myself partially Examined the case but Captain Tiptit told me he had not then time to attend to it but that he would do it Shortly My family being Sick at the time I could Stay no longer had to Leave for home and I called upon Mr Pugh to attend to the Examination and the Capt promised me that he would have it attended to and sent to me but I have heard nothing from it since This is an old case that has been attended to by me through Job M c Lean Esqr that is to have the widow pension Increased - The case was not attended to at first as it ought to have been there was only 7 1/2 Months pension allowed her they only allowed 6 Months Service This was the neglect of the auditor General of Penn a not sending to Mr Barkly the widow agent the full Service The widow complained that she had not been treated Right that her husband had served the greater part of the war I then wrote to the auditor General of Penn a and he sent then Certificate showing more Service than she claims the objections then was that there were two persons of that name it appears there was John McIntire from Wirtmoreland County Penn a which the Certificate of Judge Bell will show this man has been dead upwards of thirty years and widow also therefore there is no pension

to claim that Service but the widow of this man who now claims her pension increased was from Chester County Penn a and the whole Evidence in the first application goes plainly to shew that - that this widows husband was the man who Rendred the greatest part of the Service now proved and not the man of Northumberland County admitting the case has been bungled very clutch that is I take no reason why the Poor old widow should not have her just claim and as to her solvency I think is as clearly made out as the nature of the case at this time ought to be demanded of, She lives in my High neighbourhood and I am clearly Satisfied that She is justly Entitled and I therefore Request that her case may be favourably considered under all the circumstances that justice may be done to this old widow I have written to Mr Pugh but have Read no answer from him or Captain Triplett I now Earnestly Request that Captain Triplett will attend to this matter as the woman is old and I have been very much pestured by her in this matter and you will confer a favour &

I was well acquainted with a certain John McIntire of Derry Township Westmoreland County Pennsylvania, and have not had any acquaintance of any other person of the aforesaid County of the same name. He was a tenant under me on a Farm in the year 1808, and for some time after, I was acquainted with him for years previous to that date and after until his death which has been many years since. — To me it appears that the Pension department cannot meet with much difficulty in deciding between the above named John McIntire, and a person named in the letter L. L. Edwards Commissioner of Pensions of August 14 th 1850,
On many years acquaintance and frequent conversations, I never heard the said McIntire, say that he had ever rendered service in the first regiment of the Pennsylvania line. Nor did I ever hear of any claim from any member of his family who lived long in this neighbourhood since his death, nor did I ever hear of any such claim by tradition. — Sworn and subscribed September 14 th A.

JOHN McINTIRE W. 3708 BA-J/MSF:MLB
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request photostatic copies of papers on file in Revolutionary War claim for pension, W. 3708, based upon service of John McIntire, widow, Catharine.
The number of pages to be copied in the claim cited by you is thirty-six. The cost of photostatic copies is twenty-five cents a page, making total cost, $9.00. Remittance should be made by money order drawn to the order of The Treasurer of the United States and same should be mailed to The Veterans Administration, Arlington Building, Washington, D. C. Upon receipt of your remittance, the copies will be made and mailed to you.
When the record of this soldier was furnished you April 27, 1929, a very careful examination was made of all the papers in the claim and the data found in regard to service, residences, family, etc., was incorporated in that report. The papers are old and frail and the process of making photostatic copies is necessarily injurious to them.
Very truly yours

Length of service at least five years.
The soldier married in the autumn of 1789 or in 1794, in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, Catharine Harbach or Horbauch.
He died in 1823 or in November, 1824, in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.
His widow, Catharine, was allowed pension on her application executed August 25, 1849, while a resident of Jacksonville, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, then aged eighty-eight years. In 1851 and in 1855 she was living in Greensburg, Westmoreland County,

Pennsylvania.
