Command of Gen. Taylor's Division in the first term and since in the defense of Galveston, which by Gen. Taylor was much admired. Brig. Williams is much of a favorite to keep them from moving and encroaching. The manner of his officers he cannot remember though he has used his best endeavours to do so as far as he can ascertain any place in consequence to respect his memory. He reported that it will remain in the service - after serving the time for which he was drafted, he was discharged & returned home. - Afterwards he returned to Galveston about a fortnight ago has two years to serve another term of three months he was ordered to be in a fort and he knew and he went into command of Captain John M. Seaton with Gen. Butler. His term was mostly spent in service of Col. John Goode. He was discharged on four days before the battle at Galveston with the Confederates. He was regularly discharged & returned home. He reported knows nobody within his circle except Charboneau French who knows of the latter knows who was in the service with him.
The memory of respondent is almost entirely broken up & he knows but little except that he was twice in service both times being terms of three months each until regularly discharged. - The respondent feels that he trusts the justice & kindness of his country will have his case officially made out & especially a defined track that his neighbors will be a ample testimony that a life of seventy years as he became a man has been uniformly marked with honorable but honest endeavours & that no faith affecting his integrity or honesty has been laid to his character. -

He represent further with that his name is upon no pension roll to his knowledge - and he hardly recognizes any other whatsoever to a pension or annuity except the present that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State.
He represent further with that his age and infirmity is such that he cannot go to Hillsboro except to have his case prepared.

Dear Sir,
My beloved Elizabeth King widow of Thomas war pensioned under the act of 3d February 1853 @ $20 per annum. It is alleged however that her husband was pensioned under the act 1818 at $50 per annum. It would seem some error exists as to wording rate of pension, and you will therefore please to refer and see how it is and report to me -
Thomas King's pension ceased in 1834 or 1835 when he died and it is supposed his Certificate was surrendered when she was inscribed on the pension list and the Widows certificate is missing which prevents me furnishing the Number of either. Their pensions were payable at the Fayetteville Mo. Co. Agency.

Herewith please find a copy of the Will of Thomas King dec d , which I hope will satisfactorily prove the time of his death (the day and date I know not where to obtain). The will is dated in 1832, and was proved at May Term 1834; and I suppose that he died between our Feb. & May Court. This copy also proves the fact that Elizabeth King was his wife. And if we had known that he ever made a will, would have sent it on before.
