A Widow Gemima Lockwood Applied for a pension under the act of Congress passed July 4 th 1836 and that five or six weeks ago I received a pay certificate under the act of Congress passed July 7 th 1838 which I supposed was due by mistake, which I returned by express under the and that I have not received an answer since Sir I wish you to call on the Pension Commissioners for a pay certificate under the act of Congress passed July 4 th 1836 I believe that the Widow Gemima Lockwoods husband was out in to the Seneca after she was married and that will entitle her to a pension under the act of 1836 if she is not entitled under the act of Congress passed July 4 th 1836 get a pay certificate under the act of Congress passed July 7 th 1838 and forward it to me by mail as soon as convenient and oblige your friend and humble servant Joseph Ellis - Hon: J.

Sir,
In answer to yours of the 28 th inst I have to state that upon an examination of the papers of Jennie Lockwood dec d it appears that she was married in January 1780 and that she was allowed for a term of service rendered by her late husband after that date. In order to obtain the balance due her as a pensioner under the act of 4 th July 1836 one of the children should make an informal declaration under that Act and the Court should certify the names of her children who survived her.
I am, very respectfully Your Obed. Servt. J. L. Edwards
William Lockwood Esq r Bloomingburgh N.Y.

Sir
Yours of the 16 th inst in reply to my letter in the case of Simina Lockwood is received, in which you state that "She was pensioned and paid under the Act of July 7. 1838 at the rate of $36:66 per annum for five years, amounting to $183:33," & add that this sum must be deducted from her pension under the Act of July 4. 1836. I beg leave to inform you of a discrepancy as to time & amount between this statement & the books of my predecessor. From the latter it would appear that her pension under the Act of July 7. 1838 did not embrace the term of five years, but commenced Feb y 14. 1837 (a day later than under the Act of July 4 th 1836) and that the amount paid her up to 4 th March 1841 was $148:67. Deducting the amount stated by you instead of this last, there would remain a balance only of $1. 66 100 due at the time of her death (March 3 rd 1842) and at the date of the certificate (Jan y 31 st 1842) nothing could have been due. There would therefore seem to be an error here, requiring a review of the instructions contained in your letter of the 16 th inst.
Very respectfully,

I am requested to present the case of Jennima Lockwood for a decision by your Department. Her Husband Wm Lockwood died in the month of February last. at the time of his death he was a Pensioner of the United States under the Act of June 7 th 1832. Jennima Lockwood is his widow & survives him.
Should the widow make satisfactory proof to your Department of her Marriage previous to the end of her husbands Revolutionary service would she be entitled to a Pension under the Act of July 4 th 1836. Or would she be precluded by reason of her husband not being a widow at the time of the passage of the act of July 4 1836.
You will confer a favor by answering the above enquiry & communicating the same to me.

The Widow Germina Lockwood Widow of William Lockwood dec d who appli- =hysd for a pension under the act of July 1 st 1836 and she received a pay Certificate under the act of 1838. I have been informed that her husband William Lockwood dec d drew a pension of $80. per year for his services. His service was proven by two or more respectable witnesses and a part of his services was performed after the marriage. And I think agreeable to the Rules of your Department that the Widow Germina Lockwood is entitled to receive a pension under the Act of 1836.
You are requested to re-examine the dec- =laration and other proof in the application of William Lockwood dec d now on file in your Department.
I think by the same proof you will find the widow Germina Lockwood entitled to receive eighty dollars per year under the act of 1836 and that what she has drawn under the act of 1838 should be ded- =ucted. The pay certificate has been returned on which she drew a pension under the act of 1838. Answer the above to William Lockwood dec d

Sir,
The papers of M c Lemina Lockwood have been examined and filed. The claimant's husband was allowed a full pension under the act of June 7. 1832 as appears on examination of his papers, upon insufficient proof. All his widow can be allowed upon the proof on file is a pension for three months service in 1775, five months in 1776 and three months in 1780. No part of the year's service in 1779, alleged to have been rendered as a minute man, can again be allowed, unless each tour is specified in the manner pointed out in the regulations of the Department.

She states to me that her late husband William Lockwood drew a pension under the act of 1832 of eighty dollars per year and that his services was proven by two or three respectable witnesses and that he was out into the service some length of time after they were married if so she ought to receive a pay certificate under the act of 1836 of the amount of eighty dollars per year and that former payments should be deducted
She received thirty odd dollars a year under the act of 1838 from the time of her husband's death up to the 4 th of March 1841 and her pay certificate was returned to the agent for paying pensions in the City of New York

A certificate of Lemina Lockwood, widow of William Lockwood, deceased, bearing date Jan y 31 st 1842, and issued under Act of 4 th July, 1836, has been presented at this office for payment on behalf of the heirs, the mother having died March 3. 1842.
I beg leave to call your attention to the fact that no such name is to be found in the books of this Agency, as entitled to a pension under the above Act, though the name appears on the books of my predecessor as a pensioner paid in full under Act of July 7 th 1838. The certificate is unquestionably genuine, but as the customary instructions have never been received at this Agency to inscribe the name on the Roll under the Act of 4 th July, 1836, I feel bound to await an order of payment from you, in the absence of any knowledge of the reasons which have led to the omission.
Please let me hear from you on the subject.
