Madam:
In 1834 your father Richard T. Mayner made application for a pension under the act of June 27, 1830. He alleged to have performed service in Virginia, but he produced no proof of service, and for that reason his claim was suspended and has remained so since.
Mr. Rogers can examine the papers, or shall receive any information in relation to the claim he may desire.
Mrs. Mary Mayner Lewis Borling Green, Ky.

Sir:
I presume Richard T. Mayner of Ky. intended to allege service in the Virginia Continental line, as he says his enlistment was for five years. He does not say, however, whether it was Continental or State line. He furnishes no proof of service. Any further information can only be obtained upon a Power of attorney from those interested
W.L. Underwood Esq. Bowling Green, Ky.

Sir
I am informed that sometime in Decr 1856 the papers in support of the claim of the Heirs of Richard J Mayner decd late of Warren Co; Ky were submitted to yr predecessor Hon R. W. McClelland, by my predecessor Hon W. A. Underwood, on an appeal from the decision of the Comt of Pensions adverse to said claim - and that the decision of the Comt of Pensions was affirmed by yr predecessor on the 12 Decr 1856. Whereupon the case has been submitted to Congress upon the Petition of the Heirs of sd Mayner. But it appears that the proofs in the case, filed with the Comt of Pensions have not been found in their office nor are they among the papers in the application to Congress. It is thought probable they may be on

file in your Department — May I therefore request that an examination can be made for them — and that if found, they be placed in my hands in order to be presented to Congress &c
I have the honor to be Yr obed Servt J. M. Buston.
