Washington 9. Jan. 1839
Sir
I transmit the application of Lydia Cleveland, formerly, widow of Nathan Hinney, now widow of Enoch Cleveland, both revolutionary soldiers, claiming a pension on acct. of the services of her first husband. She is not able to state any particulars as to the services of Mr. Hinney - but states that he rec d . a land warrant for bounty lands: and therefore supposes his services will appear on the files of the Bounty Land Office. It is probable he served in the Massachusetts line - and that his name may also be found on the rolls of the company raised at Petersham, - his place of residence - I am respectfully & H. Everett
J. L. Edwards Esq. Comm r . of Pensions.
