Pension office October 27. 1846
Sir
In the case of Eve Kochenour widow of Jacob Kochenour, the alleged service of her husband under Capt. Graff in 1776 is discredited by the rolls of that Company in this office his name not being found therein. The balance of service if admitted would not be sufficient to entitle her to a pension.
Mrs. Kochenour claim has been disallowed and her papers are filed with rejected Curs, under the act of 7 July 1838.
