Hon ble S r P. Waldo. Com r of Pensions.
Sir,
Herewith I send power of Attorney in the case of the Children of William LeBaron & Sarah LeBaron, both dec d .
The children suppose that he served as a captain in the Massachusetts line, and that he did not draw all the pension he was entitled to, on account of such service.
He was, I think, a pensioner of Vermont Agency, and resided a number of years at Woodstock in that state. He died July 11 th 1827, and his widow died Dec 20 th 1837. They were married in the year 1782, and she continued his widow until the date of her death. Will you please state whether it appears that there is any thing due on his account, and whether his widow would be entitled to a greater amt of Pension under the Act of July 4 th 1836, than he received per year; and state what proofs will be required.
Yours truly A. H. Postmire
