Copy. Pen. Off. Apr. 14, '43.
Sir:
The claim of Isaac Tignor has been examined and disallowed. He alleges 6 mos. service under a draft of the militia in 1781 from the County of Northumberland, State of Va. That term of service was limited by law to 3 months and the men drafted from the Northern neck who did not escort the prisoners to Winchester served less than 3 months. As his service did not amount to 6 months, his case can not be brought within the provisions of the act of June 32.
Hon. Thomas Many Franklin, Tenn.

House of Reps Dec 8-45
Sir
I am requested by Isaac Lignor of Williamson Co, Tenn to ask of you a re-examination of his claim for a Pension, which has been rejected heretofore upon the ground that he did not serve six months. He alleges that he served as a substitute for another man, and that all of those who failed to render service upon a given day were as a punishment required to serve longer than was contemplated at the time when the draft was made. He says that the man who employed him as a substitute was of the number who thus failed to render service according to orders; and that he was required to go upon a different service and serve a longer period than at first contemplated. Mr Lignor is in his neighbourhood regarded as an honest & truthful man. He is very poor, and if the records of your Office furnish any proof that he is entitled to a Pension before that fact will be ascertained by you and his claim allowed.

I have neglected (or rather forgotten) to redeem a pledge which I made some weeks ago, in relation to the Pension Claim referred to in the enclosed letter. I am not personally acquainted with Mr. Fignor, but I find worthy & respectable citizen, taking a lively interest in the success of his application and expressing strongly their convictions of the justice of his claim. If his declaration has not already been acted on, may I hope that you will decide upon it at an early day?

Please give me information on the subject and oblige Respectfully

Franklin June 12 th 1843 To the Hon. the Secretary of War. Sir.
Some three months since we had a personal declaration to the department for its action. As we have not as yet heard what was done with it. It was for Isaac Lignor. The old man is quite needy, old, and is truly an object that ought to claim the attention of the department. You therefore will please to present the claim before the department on our behalf.
Respectfully
