Honorable William L. Nelson, House of Representatives, Washington, D. C.
My dear Mr. Nelson:
In response to your letter of April 25, 1929, I have the honor to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 7391, it appears that Richard Marshall enlisted, place not stated, May 1, 1776, and served two years and nine months as a private in Captain Thomas Meriwether's Company in Colonel George Gibson's Virginia Regiment; he was transferred February 1, 1779, to serve as a dragoon in Captain Jones' Company in Colonel Washington's Regiment of Light Dragoons and he served three or four years.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 1, 1818, at which time he was living in Muskingum County, Ohio.
He married in 1784 or 1785, in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, Keziah Sherer.
In 1820 he stated that he was sixty-three years of age and he then referred to his grandson, Marshall, as be-

ing twelve years of age and his granddaughter, Elizabeth, aged nine years. A granddaughter (her name not stated) married Samuel Steele.
Richard Marshall died November 4, 1841, in Meigs Township, Muskingum County, Ohio.
His widow, Keziah, was allowed pension on her application executed October 23, 1847, at which time she was living in Jackson Township, Guernsey County, Ohio. In 1856 she stated that she was ninety-five years of age.
This is the history of the only soldier named Richard Marshall found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.
The War of 1812 records fail to show a claim for pension on file on account of the service of Michel Hays.
Very truly yours,
E. W. MORGAN, Acting Commissioner.

Sir:
Enclosed please find the application of Mrs. Elizabeth Marshall, of Gallia County, Ohio (a neighbor of mine) for an increase of pension, on account of her husband's services as a dragoon. From her very clear recollections of her husband's statements relative to his services, I have no doubt you will find her claim sustained by the records in your office.
I learned from her that she never knew that she was entitled to a higher rate of pension in consequence of her husband's service in the Cavalry, till it was suggested to her by a neighbor a short time ago, who consulted me on the subject during my late visit to Ohio.
I claim for her an increase of four dollars per annum under the act of 1832 from the 4 th of March 1831 to her husband's death; of $20 per annum from the 4 th of March 1843 to the 1 st of July 1848, and of $4 per annum since the last mentioned date.
Her present certificate is herewith

Enclosed.

I made out her declaration, under the act of 3 rd March 1833, and 8 th Section. That law gave her an equal right to 160 acres bounty land in common with other widows of soldiers of the revolution.
I have received 160 acre warrants for some half dozen such widows; and invariably each were for 160 acres.

Brief in the cases of Richard Marshall, dec d , and his wid- ow, Kesiah, of Gallia County, Ohio, under the Act of June 7, 1832, 4 March 1843, 17 June 1844, 2 Feby 1845 & 17 June Re- solution of Dec 1845.
Richard Marshall was a soldier of Cavalry, as shown by his declaration, and by the Record of this Office. He was pensioned under the Acts of 1818 & 1820, at $96 a year. He could not have been allowed more, under these Acts, as there were but two grades of pension under them; viz, $96 a year for privates and non-com- missioned Officers, and $240 for Commissioned Officers. He continued to receive his stipend until his death, when his widow was allowed a pension. There was no endorsement upon the face of the papers of her husband, to induce the Examiner to investigate the nature of his services, when he examined her claim to pension and she was, accordingly, allowed, as though he had been a priv- ate of Infantry, viz; at $80 a year from 4 March 1843 to 30 June 1845, and from that time, at $96 under the provision of the Act of Dec 1845 - under the Act of June 7, 1832, soldiers of Cavalry are entitled to $100 a year for 2 years service. Marshall was, therefore, entitled to that amount from 4 March 1841 to 4 November 1841, when he died, and his widow is entitled to the same amount from 4 March 1843. Which amount is allowed her, deducting the several amounts rec d , under the various Acts of 1832, 1843 & 45.
