New Lisbon, Ohio, Sept. 6, 1853-
Dear Sir:-
I wish to obtain some information from your Department relative to a claim due from the United States, to the heirs of Dr. Johnson, a Surgeon in the Navy of Virginia, during the Revolutionary War. I have been informed that this claim had been allowed, and collected by a man named Vaughn, of Hampton, Va., and that said Vaughn had made an arrangement, with some of the heirs, to collect the claim for one half the whole amount. I am directly interested in that claim, as my wife is one of the heirs, and we have not been consulted on the subject. Will you be kind enough to inform me the amount of money allowed, and also the amount of land, and where the land is situated, &c.
Dr. Johnson, it appears, had no children of his own, but left his estate to a niece, who married a gentleman named Josephus. They had several children, one of whom was married to a gentleman named Lobb, of Gloucester county, Va. Mr. Lobb's son, John E. Lobb, was the father of my wife, she being his only child - He deceased some years since, his wife having died before him.
An early reply will very much oblige,
Dear Sir, yours ob t Serv t .
Math e Mitchell.
