Dear Sir:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim W. 16436, it appears that Jacob Taylor, while a resident of Hollis, New Hampshire, enlisted and served as a private as follows:
In the fall of 1775 six weeks in Captain Noah Worcester's Company in Colonel Prescott's Massachusetts Regiment. On January 1, 1776, which was immediately after the last mentioned service, he enlisted in Captain John Nutting's Company in Colonel William Prescott's Massachusetts Regiment and served one year. In the spring of 1777 he enlisted in Captain House's Company, Colonel Gilley's New Hampshire Regiment and served eight months and was in the battles of Hubbardton and Stillwater and at the capture of Burgoyne. He then enlisted and served six months in Captain Joseph Boynton's Company, in Colonel Bigelow's Massachusetts Regiment, and was in the battle of Rhode Island. In the spring of 1779 he enlisted and served one year in Captain Chapman's Company in Colonel Plover's Regiment of Artillery and Artificers.
He was allowed pension on his application executed July 29, 1819, at which time he was sixty-two years of age and was living in Groton, Grafton County, New Hampshire.
He died August 5, 1838, in Groton, New Hampshire.
The soldier married November 19, 1781, Batsey Boynton of Hollis, New Hampshire.
She was allowed pension on her application executed January 10, 1839, at which time she was eighty-two years of age and was a resident of Groton, New Hampshire.

She died February 7, 1843, in Groton, New Hampshire.
Tennessee Her only surviving child was Betsey, the wife of Benjamin Jenny of Groton, New Hampshire.

Soon after the passage of the act of July 1838 granting pensions to certain Widows of Soldiers of the Revolution, I procured and forwarded to you, evidence deemed necessary to prove the claim of Betsy Taylor of Groton Vt. to a pension under said act, but her claim was rejected on the fact that her husband (Jacob Taylor) died before the passage of said act, and the evidence in her case remains in your office.
Mrs Taylor died on the 7 th day of February last and I employed Judge Berry to take affidavits to prove the facts set forth in the inclosed certificate of the Register of Probate for this county. — If the inclosed certificate together with the evidence on file in your office, are deemed sufficient you are requested to forward to me the Certificate of pension — if not sufficient I would respectfully request you to inform me what further evidence will be required with due respect &c Your Obt.

J. S. Rawards Esq.
Sir - Regard to my old veteran Taylor prompts me to trouble you to read one more application in his behalf. You remark in yours of the 2 d June that the decision first made is not affected by the invalidity of Tenney's - "that the ability of Tenney to support Taylor does not materially affect the case - the "deed of Taylor to Tenney being on condition of support to him & his wife during life, if the condition is not kept then the conveyance becomes void and the property will revert to Taylor - He does not then "fore appear to be in such indigent circumstances "as to need the aid of public or private charity" -
The fact, from which the Department draw the conclusion unfavorable to Taylor - viz - that his deed to Tenney is conditional , is I believe not so - The deed Taylor to Tenney was absolute - without any condition - The proviso of Tenney was undoubtedly the consideration of the deed, but Tenney's performance of the stipulations in it is not a condition on which the deed rests

for its validity -
Tenney's inability to perform his obligation or to pay the penalty in case of non performance - affects the deed in the same way as his failure or inability to pay a promissory note, had he given one to Taylor for the consideration money, would have done & not otherwise - Notes are generally given to pay the consideration & they are often not paid and the land left to the grantor -
Taylor can never get his land - again - And even if he could now recover it - there is proof among the papers sent to the Pension office that the land was worth short (I think) of $300. - The affidavits will show the sum at which it was valued -
If Taylor now owned all the land he conveyed to Tenney its rent could not free him from the parish - old and utterly helpless as he is -

I take it that a pensioner needs the same amount & quality of sustenance that nature requires in any other man. That if he have not the means to command it, & has to depend on the exercise of benevolent feelings towards men in other men - although he may thus be kept from falling on the parish, yet he needs a pension if he served the requisite time in the revolutionary army, he comes within the statute -
Taylor did serve - He is old & has all labor & his aged wife is nothing more to her in the way of help than a partner in poverty. And his legal means of living is Tenney's bond - That Tenney is now unable to keep or to pay the interest for not keeping - If he do not keep it or pay the penalty the deed of land by Taylor is not rendered void - & if it were void today & Taylor on the land in fee simple as good as when he conveyed it. he would be a town pauper - all this is apparent in the papers at the Department - This is my view of it - It may be troublesome and a thousand applications to be called a third time to the examination of a case like this - but I am confident you will aid in granting relief if by any means you

can be made satisfied it is hard to afford its - I will not disapprove persevering endeavours in  in our to obtain it, although I may go beyond what is customary & somewhat tax your patience - more than ordinary applicants, - who, I suppose, after one intimation retire generally in silence: -

However, there are limits to duty, & if, on these views & proofs (if any proof is wanting of my allega- tions - please mention it) it shall forthwith be forwarded, the pension be withheld. I shall accept, & the old soldier must continue to rely on "God", instead of his "country" for means of living a few days longer - Respectfully & I am &c. N. P. Ross
