Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir:-
I am very anxious to ascertain the names of the wives of the following Revolutionary soldiers: JOHN JONES, who made an application for pension on May 17, 1819, at which time he was 83 years of age and residing in Caroline co., Va., and his pension was allowed for one year's actual service as a private in the Va. troops: part of the time he served under Capt. Taliaferro and Col. Woodford: supposed to have enlisted from King George county Va.
And also, Charles Higden who is supposed to have made an application for a pension on Aug. 2d 1832, at which time he was 68 years of age, and residing at that time in Kings county, Va.; pension was allowed for two years actual service as a mariner, on the Manly Galley, Brig Jefferson, and Ship Tartar, in the Va. Navy: part of the time he served under Capt. Saunders and Lt. Parker.
And also John Jones, 2d. who was granted a pension of $8. per month for service in Va. troops: his name was placed on pension rolls Aug. 2d. 1819.
In view of the fact that I am trying hard to identify my relationship with these soldiers, that I may establish my eligibility for XXX membership in the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution: I will

than indeed be more ordinarily thankful to you for the favor, if you will be kind enough to have a search made of your records, and inform me of such facts as can be had therefrom.
I think Charles Higdon enlisted from King George co., or Westmoreland co., Va., and that John Jones, 2d enlisted from Essex co., Va., however, I will be glad if you will let me know anything that you can about them; whether they received pensions or bounty land.
Thanking you in advance for such data as you may furnish, I am,
Yours very respectfully,
James B. Vaughan Jr.
