John Budd formerly of this county, died a few years ago having bequeathed his widow, John Budd was a pensioner of the United States, and drew a pension up to the day of his death, you will find in the Department his original application returned with the last money drawn by his widow, from the time of his drawing last up to the time of his death, which payment was made at Conydon Indiana, by Thomas Posey. His widow Remick Budd as John Budd was married in 1792, and she has not married since his death - will you be so good as to inform me the kind of proof, as I send her likewise the printed instructions, to entitle the widow

to receive the five years pension, under the act of Congress on that subject,
The proof of the marriage in 1792 can be made if I think so the fact of her not marrying since, can be made clear, as the identity of her being his Widow can be made clear,
By information, with the necessary instructions from your departments, which is always so promptly furnished will confer a favor on an old and removable female whose circumstances require some help.
She must oblige

I have the honor to return to you the affidavit of Sylvester Field, Son of Barnes Field deceased, late of Ill., together with the extract of the court showing the time of the death & the name of the Heirs, This affidavit was returned for authentication, there being no public seal of Lehigh Co. the authentication of the Hon. John Mendenhall of Ill., I presume will be sufficient to obviate this objection,
The affidavit declares under the solemnity of an oath, that he believes he was born in Nov 1793, that he was 18 years old in 1811, the year previous to the declaration of War of 1812, in this he cannot be mistaken, as in the absence of the records of marriage in Western Pa., no better proof can by the rules of the Department be required, please send the extract of Pension to me at your earliest convenience. Yours & property Joseph A. Wright

I send you the application of Isaac Wright for a pension, you will find on the file of the pension office a very strong recommendation of the members of the Indiana Delegation in favor of Isaac Wright, this application has been made some time since as though Wright has not been forwarded on to Washington, I do hope that after examination of the recommendation on file and of this declaration that you will grant the old man his small pittance, for a meritorious man cannot be found in the United States, he is now supported by his numerous friends, his age and his excellent character for truth are so well known that he will always find his friends.
I also believe the application of Hannah Judd or Judd for the 5 year annuity under the act of Congress of July, 1838, you will please inform me on both of these applications what is necessary, in relation to the application of the Widow Judd you will see from the certificate of the Judge of the whole matter, there cannot be any doubt of her claim, you will find that her husband John Judd was a pensioner of some standing under the act of March 18 th 1878.

The only difficulty that you will find after examining the affidavits & the papers of the old man who was a Jew, will be the proof of Marriage.
As far as it is possible that if she cannot prove the Marriage (which I think is doubtful) that she will have to prove the small annuity in the State of New York when she was married, it is believed that no records can be found of the Marriage, we can prove by old man, the fact of their living together for a long length of time as man & wife. What say you to these things, I want to be sure to hear from you on these subjects.
Yours Respectfully,
