Sir You will find included the necessary testimony in relation to the claim of Mrs Ann Terry Widow of Colonel Nathaniel Terry Whose papers I furnished you some time since. I first had the clerks office in Halifax county searched and I have Mr Holt's certificate or letter stating that no record of the marriage exists in his office. I deem it unnecessary to send you all the correspondence I have had upon the subject. Believing that the testimony now sent will be fully satisfactory I only inclose the proof enclosed to me by Mr Holt the clerk. I trust as this claim is one so plain and also the merits of which is so well known that you will pass upon it immediately. The services of Colonel Terry are well known at the Department of War and I am induced to believe the balance of the proof is equally certain.
Accept the assurances of my continued respect and &c A. H. Gresham

The pension of Capt or Lieut Terry (Nathaniel I think was his first or Chisholm name) was suspended for a time upon some allegations that he was a very furnished by a malicious person to the Department. To procure a re-instatement of the pension Sam informed some original papers were filed showing the time when Capt or Lieut Terry entered the service & how long he continued in it. These papers have become important to a constituent of mine. You will therefore confer a favour by stating to me what papers are on file in your office evidencing the time when Mr Terry entered the service & the length of his service.

I inclose to you the claim of Mrs Ann Terry Widow of Colonel Nath aniel Terry of Todd County Kentu- cky She lives close to the line of this State and it will be more conveni- ent to come a few hundred yards across rather than travel to court which She was unable. The record of Marriage is attached and I have also written to Charlotte County Virginia to get the Marriage Record. So soon as it may arrive I will forward the same to you. His two commissions one as Ensign and one as Captain in the War of the Revolution are in pres- ervation and can be sent to you if it should be wanting to establish her claim but the family has told me that they have been twice to Washing- ton already during the life time of Col Terry. Please inform me what will be wanting to complete the proof in her case. Be pleased to bear in mind that it is her request as well as her sons who transmit

has set all his business that when the claim is allowed you will make the certifi- cate so as to authorize the Pension to be received at Nashville instead of Lexington as the difference in the distance is so great and to Nashville it is only 40 miles

Inclosed also you will find the commission of Captain Terry he has a commission for the office of Lieutenant but as the Captain's commission was the last office he held and the highest grade he was in I did not advise them to send it. I have strict orders to return it so soon as you may have done with it as it is a relic in the family and they would not like to part with it. You will be sure therefore to return it as I am under obligation so far as my word to see that it is safely returned. I would here repeat what Mrs Terry and her son who acts for her told me to have done if possible and that is for you to make her Pension payable at Nashville instead of Lexington as it is not more than 40 miles from her house to Nashville but is more than 250 to Lexington and she asks this as

Some time since I received the Pension certificate of Mrs Ann Terry Widow of Col Nathaniel Terry of Todd County Kentucky; And as the Pension is made payable at Lexington Ky I am requested by the said Mrs Ann Terry and her Sons who act for her that it is their desire and wish that you direct the same to be made payable at Nashville instead of Lexington the distance to Nashville being only forty perhaps not more than thirty five miles whereas the distance to Lexington is one hundred and sixty and it will cost at least $20. 00 to go to Lexington and back all of which could be saved by going to Nashville. As no payments have or will be made until the 4 th of March next they hope you will make the transfer under such regulations as you may think proper. I would suppose a letter to each one of the Pension Agents at Nashville and Lexington would be sufficient. I have had a conversation with the Pension Agent Nashville and he thinks that a notification from you to pay the Pension of Mrs Terry and also a notification to you from Mr Telford at Lexington Pension Agent of that place would be all

all that would be necessary provided the same should that no payment has yet made at Lexington I am therefore instructed to request you will make out the transfer Without Delay for the before mentioned reason" that it will save considerable expense and trouble to the Widow. Your early atten- tion to this will confer a great favor Mrs Gerry and her son who will act for her and also on their Agent

In answer to your letter of the 14 th inst. to the Secretary of War, relative to the case of Nathaniel Terry dec d . I have to inform you that he was pensioned at the Treasury Department, under the act of May 15. 1828, at the rate of $480 per annum, and paid from the 3 rd of March 1826 to the 8 th of February 1837, the day of his death. He belonged to the tenth Virginia regiment and served as a Captain, as appears from his Commission on file in this Office.
His widow Ann Terry, was allowed a pension under the act of July 7. 1838, which terminated on the 4 th of March last.

Mrs Ann Terry the widow of the late Capt Nathaniel Terry complains that a part of her pension of five years has been improperly withheld from her. It is my wish to bring the subject to the notice of the Secretary of War and Attorney General. I therefore request a report of all the facts upon which the disputed points arise, so that I may present the case fully.
When did Capt N Terry die? How much has been paid the widow? What sum would have been paid her had she received five years pension?
I have received a letter from a constituent who wishes to know whether the records of the War Department afford any evidence of the revolutionary services of "Hares Olvis". My correspondent writes & spells very badly. I think it probable that the name is

Harrys Oliver or Harrys Oliver. Be pleased in the search to look for each. He enlisted at Rich- mond Virginia as my letter states in the company of Capt Sam Tinsley in which Wm Bob was Ensign & "Soney" (Alexander I suppose) Her- derson was Sergeant. He sailed from Richmond to St Marys River Georgia & there served three years. Such is the information con- tained in my letter. If the records mention such a man & his service be pleased to let me know whether they show that either land or money is due his representatives
