That he is well acquainted with Thomas Kerr from his youth that he was a Revolutionary Soldier that he saw him in the service in the Company of Capt m John Maxwell in the latter part of his three years service in the year 1779 and that what was said in My former Deposition as to his enlisting for two years was a mistake of the Clerk who drew the Deposition as there was No such enlistment to my knowledge but that the terms of the service were for three years or during the War. And as I saw him in said service at the time stated I have every reason to believe that he served out the whole term.

Rel to suspended pension Claim of Mrs Elizabeth Sacey
Triplet

Milan Indiana September 16 th 1857. J. E. Heath Esq. Comm r of Pensions Sir.
Some time I think in 1844 I filed in the Pension Office the Declaration of Mrs. Elizabeth Lacey the widow of Thomas Lacey late of Hamilton County Ohio for a pension under the act of 1838. Mr. Thomas Lacey was a pensioner of the U.S. under the act of 7 th June 1831 at the rate of $80 per annum. I forwarded at the same time the necessary proof of the Marriage of Mrs. Lacey. Col. Edwards wrote me that the claim was rejected on the ground that upon an examination of the Declaration of Mr. Thomas Lacey that a pension should not have been granted to him for some reason that I cannot now recollect; and the title of the Commission is mislaid. The matter has been thus suspended from that time to this, and I am now urged by the claimants to prosecute this claim, believing it to be just and that there will be a review in the whole case. The money will come too late for the old lady, for she died last winter; but she has left children who are entitled to it if it was her due. I hope to ask you to answer this communication with all convenient dispatch in regard to the whole case after a careful review of the reasons upon which Col. Edwards based his opinion. I hope to ask also that the Department will recognize me only as the proper person to attend to this claim, as I am the original agent for applicant and so regarded by the present heirs.
I am Respectfully Y. S. H. (S) C. H. (S) Ladies Mother & Hardin (S) Milan Ind

My Dear Sir,
I herewith enclose you the application of Thomas Lacy for a pension. I wish you to present the papers to Mr Edwards in person. Lacy says he knows you will and at the election headed his thirteen sons & marched to the polls to vote for you - I have assured him that you will exert your influence in his behalf. You will see by an examination of his papers that he has proved by two witnesses that he was in the service - this is all the testimony that he can possibly procure - therefore if the papers are returned there must consequently be an end of the matter. The old man is indeed very poor - & stands in need of assistance - It was the request of the whole neighborhood that the papers should be enclosed to you "Old Sam Lacy says he has no doubt but what you will do your best for him"
With great Respect
Yrs truly

gift, Sale or in any manner disposed of my property or any part thereof with intent thereby so to diminish as to bring myself within the provisions of an act of Congress entitled "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval Service of the United States in the Revolutionary War" passed on the 18 th day of March 1818, and that I have not, nor had any person in trust for me, any property, or securities, contracts, or credits due to me; nor have I any income other than what is contained in the Schedule hereto annexed and by me subscribed.

I further declare under oath That I am a farmer by occupation that I have a wife now living, aged about Sixty years, my children are all grown up, and capable of taking care of themselves, I own but one cow and no real Estate whatever, and all the personal Estate I have in the world save my necessary wearing apparel and bed and bedding are not worth at the highest Estimate forty dollars, and further I declare not.
