Sir,
I have the honor to inform you that the claim in the name of Nancy Loghrey has been examined and filed. The service of Michael Loghrey for two years in the Pennsylvania line is satisfactory, except as to the length of the service in the grade of sergeant. This point must be established before a pro rata pension can be allowed. The date of the marriage should be clearly proven by record or documentary evidence of a public nature, such as Town or Church records of marriage, birth, &c. or by an ancient family record; and failing to obtain evidence of that grade, the testimony of intelligent and respectable witnesses, who should give the data by which they ascertained the relation of husband wife, at a date within the limitation of the law, should be admitted.
I have the honor to be,
Very respectfully,
Your Abt. Supt.

I drew for "Michael Loghay" in his life time his pen- sion, he was a revolutionary warrior prisoner, he died the 6th. mo. 1827 on his way to Exeter his papers for drawing on the 4th. March 1827 at the time had his Certificate in my possession, he left a widow who is desirous to draw his back pay. I find on my Ledger written across his account the following "See Pension papers on file with order 30 Aug. 1831." I have referred to said file & many other papers to find the original but impossible. What has become of it I am entirely unable to say. This is to ask of you a copy of the original in order that the widow may be aided to draw the widow's pay . Your early attention will be a favor
