I herewith enclose a further extract of the last in the Mc Clintock case My first impression was that Mary Mc Clintock being now the only surviving child was entitled to the whole annuities and the first certificate of the last only certified that fact, & my impression still is that was right — But if the Commissioners decide that grand children are entitled it must be so. The grand children you will see live in S. Carolina & it will considerable cause considerable delay to get authority from their Guardian to get it or perhaps a guardian must be first appointed. — At all events I hope you get the case decided favorable before a great while. —

Providence Oct 31, 1854
Sir
I herewith enclose the application of Mary McClinton, daughter of Rebecca McClinton who was the widow of Joseph McClinton a Waggon conductor during the war of the Revolution, for an increase of pension. It will appear from the testimony now enclosed from authentic documents, that Joseph McClinton served as Waggon conductor from April 1781 to December 31, 1782 that he served in that capacity 19 or 20 months at least but before he was discharged. But allowing he only served 18 months, the pension as Waggon conductor ought to be $3.00 per an whereas only $1.50 has only been allowed heretofore for services in that capacity. Rebecca McClinton made an application in her life time under the act of July 7 1838, but died August 25 1841. Her children are therefore entitled to the arrears of pension from March 4 1836 to March 4, 1841 under said act 5 years in all.
It will appear by the documents on file in the Pension office, that Mary McClinton made an application for arrears of pension

several years ago all the proof furnished necessary to sustain her claim except the evidence of the period of her father's services as Wagon conductor, and her claim was allowed in part, but recently further & more conclusive testimony has been discovered which entitles her to a further amount,
By the testimony furnished by Isaac Joy it is proved he was in actual service from April to December 31 1781 - and by evidence from the same source of the Quarter Master General, Timothy Pickering, he was recognized as "Wagon conductor" at two several periods, Aug 7 & Sept 5 1782, altho he was paid for extra services as an Express. The certificate of the Secretary of Massachusetts also places service in same capacity between September & December 1782, and her being a W. conductor from Massachusetts is probably the reason why the advances were made to her by the Dep: Quarter Master General Hatch, on her account,
I have the request that this claim be allowed - I am Respectfully Yours at least Betsy Lowell

Sir
Since receiving your letter of the 25 th ult respecting the claim of Mrs. M c Clintock I have been to Boston to ascertain if there were any papers of Col. Salazar Hatch lodged with the Mass. Historical society which would throw light on the services of her husband. But I found none. The only Book containing any of Hatch's acts, is the one in the Secy's office, from which the Certificate, heretofore sent you respecting his services as conductor, was taken a two thirds of that book are torn out at least. It is probable your informants mistake arose from the circumstance, that this book is ordered to be given to the Mass. Hist. Society when no longer wanted in the Secy of State's office. That Joseph M c Clintock was a Wagggon conductor in 1781 however cannot be doubted. Two witnesses declare they have seen his Commission, and one witness testifies he served under for 8 or 9 months in that year and this evidence so far is uncontradicted. He might have resigned

after this & been a leader on his own account but he never would have had a commission signed by Washington if he had only been such a leader
The evidence also proves he was an officer in the Massachusetts Militia during a short service but in what regiment or year I cannot say I was in hopes to have been satisfied as to this point from a personal examination of the Militia Rolls when in Washington but could not be permitted. Mr. Horne in the Juntoys in Boston informed me that most all the Rolls of short services are in your office and it is among them I expect his name can be found and there I wish particular examined If however his name cannot be found I have to request that a certificate may be granted for such services as is proved according to the rules & regulations or for such as have been admitted. I am respectfully yours J. L. Edwards Esq

Washington City Jan'y 12 1842
Sir
In answer to your letter of Sept 21 respecting the claim of Mrs Rebecca McClinton for a pension under the act of July 7 1838 I have to say that it has always been understood & believed that her husband served not only as a private but as an officer There can be no doubt but he had a commission signed by the Commander in Chief. It is so stated & so proved by two witnesses who have seen the commission but whether that commission was to serve in the line or in the Staff is uncertain. one witness testified that he served as a Lieutenant and another, as Wagon Master, both may have been correct. at all events if he was commissioned by Gen Washington, no doubt he did some service either in the one grade or the other - As the case now stands I feel it my duty to request that an examination may be had of The Massachusetts Rolls for his name as an

office: This examination I was in hopes to have been permitted to make myself. His friends desired it and I promised it, if permitted - They do not know nor do I in what year or in what regiment Joseph McClinton served as an officer but they I sincerely believe he did so serve and if he did it is but just & right such service should be allowed. Such is their confidence that he did serve that nothing short of a thorough examination would satisfy them to the contrary, and to this, I think, every applicant is entitled. When there are public records all are entitled to their inspection who have an interest in such inspection. It matters not however by whom this examination is made, so it is made - Joseph McClinton served 8 months in '65 & in some capacity or other to the end of the War perhaps not continuously but he served some in every year - I have seen often a satisfactory examination of the records & the evidence no further further service than 8 mo already allowed can be found - I have to request a certificate for that amount I am respectfully yours Benjamin L. Russell J. L. Edwards Esq

Providence August 6 1841
Sir
In answer to your letter of March 31 st I herewith enclose further testimony in the case of Mrs Rebecca McClinton widow of Joseph which contains her declaration all the proof testimony & etc. taken respecting his services as "Waggon Conductors" He was appointed Waggon Conductors in 1781, one of the witnesses Stephen Daman served under him in that capacity 8 months in that year. and the evidence now produced shows he served in that capacity up to December 1782. There is no doubt but being a Continental officer he served until the end of the War. By a resolution of Congress of July 15 1780 it will be seen that a Conductors of Waggons was placed upon the same footing as other officers of the Staff in the Quarters Master Genl Department - I beg leave

To call your attention to the following clauses in that order, respecting the pay of the officers in that Department. - After enumerating the monthly wages of the Quartermaster Genl, Assistant Quartermaster, Dept Quartermaster, Brigade Quartermaster, Company of Forage - Wagon Master Deputy Wagon Master, & Assistant Wagon Master to the residue enacts, that the pay of the "Conductors of Waggons" shall be, when not of the line of the Army, thirty five dollars per month & one ration of provisions per day, when of the line of the Army twelve dollars per month in addition to his pay in the line.
I presume the same evidence now enclosed together with that heretofore transmitted must be satisfactory that he served two years at least as Wagon Conductors besides the 8 months as a private in 75 which you ad- mit by your last letter - Capt McClinton had the reputation of having served

pretty much during the whole war of the rebellion. but by the loss of his commission & the death of those who served with him his widow has met with great difficulty in proving her claim and the finding one of the old account books of John Hatch is providential -
I am most respectfully yours at present
Benja Lowell
PS The existence of his commission as Major in Conductus is amply proved by his two sons. Wm L McIlvaine a Major in the present army of the U States & Henry McIlvaine a very respectable gentleman residing at the South & said to be by Gen Washington if I remember correctly -

I hereby Certify, That, from an examination of the Books and Documents, relating to Military Services in the War of the Revolution, which remain in this Department, it appears that the Name of Joseph M c Clintock is borne on An Account of Disbursements in the Quarter Masters Department by Jabez Hatch, Deputy Quar- ter Master for the State of Massachusetts, R. Island, and New Hampshire, from the 1 st day of September 1782 to 31 st day of December following inclusive". The following entry appears in said Account.

Providence March 10 1841
Sir
In answer to your letter of Feb 28 1840 respecting the claim of Mrs Rebecca Mc Clintock widow of Joseph Mc Clintock I have with enclosed further testimony which I hope will be satisfactory. The evidence now enclosed proves 8 months as a private in 1775 and the affidavits of his two sons corroborate the testimony heretofore sent respecting his service as conductor in 1781. You observe that his name is not found on the Rolls of Massachusetts Troops. The certificate now sent shows that it is, at least for 8 months in 75, and as to the service as conductor in 81 it is not to be supposed that the Rolls of that State would show it, inasmuch as the Corps of Sappers & Miners Conductors was not authorized by that State, but by an

act of Congress. Unfortunately the Commission of Capt McAlstock is now lost yet it is not undeniably proved to have existed & his services in that grade are distinctly set forth & proved by two witnesses, one of whom Stephen Damon, served under him. I have him informed, but whether it is correct or not I do not know, that there is a list of Wagon Conductors in the Sunday of Stok's office at Washington, if there is perhaps his name may be found thereon. A Wagon Conductor as I am informed had the same rank as Captain in the line. After your letter was received, I again wrote to make enquiry of Stephen Damon the witness who stated he served 9 months in '76 with Joseph McAlstock in Capt McAl- stock's company, & the answer I received is herewith enclosed. He still insists that

he did serve as he at first testified to in Mayers Co Woodbridges regiment & Bricks Brigade. It may be however that he was mistaken & that it might have been in Col Reads. Wigglesworth or Wheelocks regiments, all of which were in same Brigade but of the fact that he did serve with Mr Clinton, I think there cannot be any doubt. As the Rolls of these regiments are all in the Pension office I have to request that they may be examined. The witness Stephen Damon also served under Mr Clinton eight months when Mr Clinton was Commander. I have therefore to request a certificate may be allowed for the amount of service from a to wit 8 Months in 75, & 5 Months in 76 as a private & 8 Months as Captain in 81. It may be proper to add that I have been acquainted with Henry Keith Clinton whose affidavit is herewith sent, for more than twenty years & he sustains & always has sustained an un- impeachable character. I am respectfully & most truly Yours J. L. Edwards Esq.

ss. I Stephen Darrow of Hawley in the County of Franklin Commonwealth of Massachusetts being of lawful age, and a pensioner as a soldier of the Revolution, do hereby know and say that in July 1778 I enlisted into the Army of the Revolution for five months in Capt.

I Thomas Bacon of Lancaster in the County of Lancaster and State of Massachusetts, on oath fully agree say that I am now in the seventy sixth year of my age; that I was born and brought up in the town of Lancaster in said State, and resided there until in the beginning of the war of Palmer until about four years ago. I was well acquainted with Joseph McKittock formerly of said Lancaster, whose widow now resides in the City of Providence. That during the war of the Rebellion I was knowing to several towns of Service as a soldier, but I cannot now call to mind the particular time. I have a recollection, that when the Battle took place of New London

he marched down there, and was gone two or three months, and it appears to me he was there an offi- cer, but I cannot remember what, nor who his Captain was. viii
In the year Cornwallis was taken Surrendered that same Mr. Clarke served as Captain or Conductor of prisoners in the service of the United States. He went off South early in the Spring and did not return till late weather, and I al- ways understood he was gone in this service nine months. This service must have been in the year 1781, and I have never to believe that he was out in other services, but I cannot particular- ize.

Washington City, Dec. 29. 1857. Hon. A. H. H. Stuart Secy. of the The Interior Sir,
The undersigned Attorneys of Rebecca Mc Clintock deceased widow of Joseph Mc Clintock of Rhode Island who was a Wagon Con- ductor in the War of the Revolution, made application at the Pension Office, claiming pay for two years service of said Joseph as a wag- on conductor, at the same time filing, as we supposed, ample proof to sus- tain that claim. For the service thus claimed, the Commissioner of Pensions allowed only eight months.
We now appeal from that deci- sion, believing that the proof now on file in the Pension Office justifies an allowance of the whole claim.
We respectfully ask your exam- ination & consideration of the tes- timony on file, consisting of the affidavits of witnesses and extracts from original military rolls.
Respectfully your Obt. Servt. March Sylvester
We rely partly on affidavits & partly on rolls, the latter, in effect, of the affidavits, show conclusively a service of 15 months. Govt.

Charleston N.H. Aug 12 1857
My dear Sir,
When I was about leaving N.H. it was understood by me that the two cars, Mr. Clontock & Grant, should be disposed of before I left. But the day before it had not been done, and I was then led to expect it in a day or two thereafter. Mr. Gode had the papers already upon his desk & table.
Having heard nothing from them I sent a note of inquiry to Mr. Gode on the 18 th . and also to you of the same date on another subject.
Since then I have heard nothing in relation to these cars. I am more grieved than expressed, and write now to inquire, why this great delay has taken place. Do not mistake me for finding fault. I do not: for I know that you too, as well as Mr. Gode, have your troubles. Nevertheless I do most urgently wish to have these cars disposed of.
Yours Truly

When I left Washington early in July. I was assured that two pension cases, then upon the docket, should be decided forthwith. Since then far less disappointed, @ least once addressed an unofficial note to Mr. Evans calling his attention to the subject as he was aware that they cases were maturing @ ready for action. But have not heard one word on the subject.
The cases are, the heirs of Rebecca McClintock of R. I. @ the heirs of Roswell Grant of Conn.
Will you be so kind as to favor me with a copy of their cases
Faithfully H. H. Sylvester

I am requested to write you again respecting Mrs Mc Clintock's case I wrote on the 18 th of February in answer to your letter of 25 th of January stating that there was nothing in the Historical Society in Boston, that would throw any light upon her claim, but nevertheless there was proof enough according to the rules of your Department to show 8 or 9 months service as a Waggon conductor in 1781 - Two witnesses have sworn they have seen his Commission & one or two have sworn that they served under him - I think this ought to be allowed at least - But if it cannot be I have to request a Certificate for what service has been admitted. viz 8 Mo in 1775 -
I am respectfully your Benja Forster

Sir
Upon an examination of the case of Rebecca McClintock, I find that the applicant died Aug 25 th 1841 during the pendency of the claim which was not decided until 1842 and that no appeal was taken from that decision. In 1851 the case is revived and the claim placed on entirely new grounds - the delay and the change of position both impose me unfavorably - But waiving all objections of that kind the evidence is too unsat- -isfactory to justify me in disturbing the opinions of of your predecessor and yourself which are affirmed. You will please advise Messrs. French & Sylvester the attorneys in the case of the result I am very respectfully

And the said Mary further deposes that since her (Mother's)  father's death further evidence has been discovered of her father's service as a Waggon conductor she believes her father served as many

Nine months in the year 1781 as a Hessian Conductor for which her mother never received any pension, Wherefore for herself, she now being the only surviving child of the said Joseph & Rebecca, said service may be allowed & a pension granted therefor up to the time of her mother's death which event took on the twenty fifth of August AD 1841 & that the same be made payable at the Agency for paying pensions in said Providence where her said mother's pension was paid

On this fourth day of August 1885 before me a petition of the late Mary McClinton of the City & County of Providence, who makes the following supplemental declaration in order to obtain a further issue of pension due her Mother Rebecca McClinton deceased, widow of Joseph McClinton a Wagon Leader in the war of the Revolution, said Mary declares that her Mother the said Rebecca in her life time made an application for a pension under the act of Congress of June 7 1838, and it was first granted at the rate of $28.67 per annum as a private, that subsequently the said Mary made a further application after her death for an increase of pension and it was increased to $186.67 per annum on account of her father's services as Wagon Leader which was paid at the Agency for paying pensions in the City of Providence to her, the said Mary & the children of her brother Henry McClinton deceased that her Mother the said Rebecca died August

The the 25, 1841 evidence of which is of the names of the surviving children was forwarded to the Pension Office in Washington at the time she made an application for an increase of pension of her aid and to which she now refers as evidence in her further behalf
And the said Mary further declares that the services of her father as Wagon Master entitled her mother to a much larger pension than was received. That recent evidence has been recently discovered that her father was Mustered in Company of a large number of Troops in the years 1781 & 1782 which would have entitled her mother to a much greater pension than was paid. Wherefore she prays & requests that a further increase of pension may be allowed & paid according to the evidence and according to the law law in such case made & provided

When I was Young, I fre- -quently heard my father converse and tell stories about his ser- -vices during the Revolution. I have heard him say that, in the be- -ginning of the war he went off from his parents without their consent, and joined the army, and I have understood from him that he was in the army during all the war in various capaci- -ties, and I further testify that I have a distinct recollection when I was Young, of seeing a parchment which, I believe, was a commission, I looked at it to see the signature of Washington. It contained my father's name, and the signature of George Washington. These facts I distinctly remember. My understand-

ding was, and always has been, that it was the instrument that entitled him a Captain. The paper is now lost. It was then very much defaced. When I opened it, the folds were so much worn that it came apart. He always used to be called Captain by the retired officers of the Revolutionary Army in the Town, who had served with him.

The deponent further states that he well remembers seeing the Commission of his said father as Captain in the army of the revolution which was signed by Geo. Washington. Deponent does not recollect whether his father was in the State or the Continental service, as he the said deponent was quite young when he saw the said Commission, but he well recollects hearing his father say that he was a conductor of the Army baggage. The Deponent's recollection is strengthened by the remembrance of many anecdotes & incidents detailed by his father. The old and worn out condition of the paper (the Commission) and the signature of Washington are still vivid in his memory. As the deponent has no doubt of his father's revolutionary services, so often the theme of conversation in his childhood and youth.

Dear Sir,
Haverley April 28 th 1840
Your letter of the 4 th respecting Mr. Simon's Situation came to hand as my son the P.M. was leaving for Boston and he wished me to attend to the business, accordingly I have been to see Mr. Danner and he has no recollection of Col. Darius's Reg, but is positive that he and Millenbach served in Woodbridge's Regiment and I think there can be no doubt but what he is correct, for at the time I took his Deposition, I had his declaration & new have, which he made in order to obtain his own Pension and upon which he obtained it, and just now my father who is still living and drawing a Pension of 153, Dollars per Annum being 98 years of age but whose recollection is good, swears if necessary on oath before that he served at the same time and place in Brickett's Brigade Col. Reed's Regiment and was knowing that the other Colonels names were Woodbridge, Diefenbach and Millenbach, that he was not only acquainted with Woodbridge there but also since the War was over, there is also another Pensioner in Haverley by the name of Lapp who was at the same time in Woodbridge's Reg.
It appears somewhat strange the Roll of Col. Regiments cannot be found at Washington, but there has been some cases when the same has been used respecting Records there, that they have been found among the Papers in the State House in Boston. —

to find out if Thomas W m Blintock was a soldier of the Revolution. He was from Ware Mass. I suppose if a Pension was given his widow, that fact would be established and will be glad if you can tell me where to find records. I'm Boston I should think. He lived in Ware Mass.
