Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of James Tompkins of Loudoun County, Virginia, Thomas Rogers a pensioner of Bourbon County, Kentucky in 1835, and in which you furnish further information in regard to the John Mallory in whom you are interested.

The record of a John Mallory, a pensioner of Hanover County, Virginia, has been found, his age and the date of receipt of pension are not identical with your citation, however. It may be stated that in some instances figures in printed lists have been misquoted. His record and that of Thomas Rogers are furnished you herewith.

The proof furnished in support of the date of the marriage of Elizabeth Mallory widow of John Mallory etc o is not so clear and satisfactory as the circumstances in the case seem to require.
Sasper Lane, a witness states that he is "under the impression that they were married previous to '94, and in 1793 they had a child called Clarborne"
The reasons for this impression, on the means by which he is enabled to fix upon the year that their child was born are not stated; nor whether the said child is still living. It would seem that some kind of record evidencing a marriage or birth of children of so recent a date, should be found without much difficulty.

Dear Sir
Enclosed You will find the Declaration of Elizabeth Mallon a Pensioner under the Act of the 7 th July 1838. I hope it will not be too troublesome to enclose her certificate to me. She is very poor and if the certificate is sent to me the pittance allowed by the Government will be received without diminution.
I have also taken the liberty of enclosing the papers necessary to establish the claim of Fanny Bentley to the benefits of the Acts of 1838 and 1843. If on examining the papers You find the Declarant entitled to any thing You will please enclose her certificates likewise. This is an unusual mode of proceeding and probably attended with trouble to You, disconnected with official duty. Yet in asking it I appeal to those feelings which prompt us to lend a helping hand to the indigent and unfortunate.
