I am under the necessity of returning the Notification you sent me, for the correction of the Christian name His name is Elijah & not Elisha Noble, as may be seen by reference to the application - I presume the mistake to be merely clerical -
As the old gentleman cannot draw his money without this correction your early attention to the subject will very much meet

The difficulty in James Slaughter Slaters case arose probably from his formerly spelling his name Slaughter - which from the town clerk's certificate, was sometimes the case.

Simsbury Ct Sep. 30 th 1820
Sir
Elijah Noble of this town is upon the roll of pensioners, and has made application to the County Court for Hartford County agreeably to the provisions of the late act of Congress. A schedule of his property, & circumstances of his family & debts is herewith transmitted. Mr Noble lives within a short distance of me, he sustains a fair character, & the utmost confidence may be reposed in his representation. His land is of a very poor quality, & in my opinion has been estimated too high. His house is very small in a ruinous condition. His eldest son now belonging to his family is unable to do any labour, & a source of constant attention & expence. He has an confirmed consumpt on him, but his disease may be a protracted one. His daughters are feeble, & probably destined for the same disease. The two grand children mentioned as a part of his family, were cast upon him by the fortunes of the last war. Their father belonged to the army, & died at Wallisburgh. By his death they were deprived of the means of subsistence, & cast upon Mr Noble for support. He has since the date of his application to the Court become almost blind. His property if sold today would not pay his debts. The forbearance & generosity of his creditors has been the means of enabling him to live, without being the assistance of the town. If any man is entitled to the benefit of the law I sincerely think he is — I have the Honor to be every respectfully your Elisha Phelps — J. L. Edwards Esq d

Simsbury, Con. Jan. 6. 1824
We the undersigned having for many years past been acquainted with Elijah Noble of this town who has applied to be restored to the pension roll, do hereby certify that said Noble is very poor, & unable to support himself & family without aid from his country - and that since his application aforesaid he has become nearly blind in one of his eyes - and according to the best of our information has made no transfer of any property with a view to be restored to the s d pension roll -
