Sir
I herewith enclose an additional declaration of Jane Lackey, made before Judge Withers of P. C.; and an affidavit of the Rev. R. B. Walker, as additional evidence in the application of Jane Lackey for a pension.
This case, which has but recently come under my notice, seems to have been sometime in progress, and must necessarily be involved in some confusion. The papers now presented will perhaps render a reexamination of all the evidence necessary. I earnestly hope that upon such examination, the evidence will be found sufficient to pass the claim. If your reply to this communication can be made in time to reach me at this place by the 25 th  inst I shall be gratified. If not, your reply may be retained at the Department, until I arrive at Washington.

The declaration also sets up a claim to Bounty Land for the Revolutionary Services of the said Thomas Lackey.

Sir Friend J. L. Edwards
I send you the additional testimony which I hope will be satisfactory to you & will satisfy you that the marriage of Thomas Lackey & Jane Elliott was before the first of January, 1794 and also that this is the same Thomas Lackey that in listed in the S. C. Line in the tenth ridgement. I am sure that I have proven all that you required me to prove in your first letter dated July 9, 1846 you stated that it was necessary to prove the services by comrades or by that of respectable neighbours that I think I have done there is R. Griffin & Joseph M c Cauley was said Lackey neighbours in S. C. and Charles Gault his neighbour in S. C. all respectable men and therefore on these testimonys I shall expect the claim to be admitted for I am sure you must be satisfied that said Lackey was in the S. C. Line at the close of the war - the old soldiers is nearly all dead & gone so of these fore parts can't be proved - Hooston the man said Lackey was bound to live or but fifteen miles as from M c Cauley & walkers where said Lackey was living when he got married as I was told when I was in S. C. - This can be proven if you wish it. I want to satisfy you on all points - you require a new Declaration I went in June to

The Court of equity 2. Days trying for to git the Judge to come to my house he promiss to come if he got through the Docket in time but did not git through untill Saturday night there fore I have not got the declaration yet nor would it be of any any use unless you are satisfied on the other points I have bin told that it is Lawful for the Son or daughter or Son in law to make a declaration in the case like this if so you will please write to me for I have never saw the acts nor I dont know the Law & I wish to comply with the rules of your office as near as I can & I hope you will give me the benifit of all the acts. — the order ordinary is the Court of records if the declaration made before him will do I can get him to come to my house you will please write to me as soon as you can conveniently and in so doing You will oblige your friend

I have rec d your note of the 19 th inst informing me "that if the Certificates issued in the case of Jane Lackey dec d Widow of Thomas Lackey be returned to this (your) office, new ones will be made out embracing the three months Militia Service Certified to by the Comptroller of North Carolina"—
In reply to this remark, I have to inform you that as soon as Mr James Bailey rec d the Certificates above referred to, the papers to draw the money were made out for that purpose, & I left them with the said Certificates , in the hands of an Attorney in Columbia, while on my way here, to be forwarded to Mr Cochran in Charleston for collection. I suppose therefore that the

Amount due on these Certificates has already been paid off to Mr Bailey - & if so, that the said Certificates are now beyond his power - and that they are already in the possession of an Agent of the Government for paying Pensions in Charleston S.C.
It will I hope therefore be regular for Certificates to issue for the 3 Months Militia Service to which you refer - as an amendment to the former proceedings in this case - Will you have the kindness to inform me at once whether or not this course can & will be taken by you?
