Sir
Yours of the 7 th inst in reference to the claim of Sarah Patchen has been rec d ?
You say that "a new declaration must be filed in this case and all others of renewed applications" and refer to the resolution of 16 Aug th as having removed the objection to the claim when formerly made". Such is not the character of this case - The case has not been before presented, but is now for the first time before you. An examination of the case would have shown that - The husband died before the passage of the act of July 1838.
Allow me to ask your attention to it -

Sir
I have forwarded to the residence of Mrs. Sarah Patches (in an adjoining county) the necessary aff ce of her being alive and learn that she is dead. The papers were made out in 39 or 40, and we have been occasionally adding testimony to the declaration. at that time We were in hopes of procuring the testimony of another witness to the marriage but failed in finding the person. In March last I rec d a note from her son wishing to know whether I had forwarded the case to the Pension office. On examining it again, I was of opinion that enough appeared to entitle her to a pension & forwarded them - not knowing her death. As the papers were all prepared before her death, I see no good reason why (if the papers are satisfactory satisfactory) the certificate for pay up to the time of her death may not be issued to her heirs, proving her death in account of record & the names of the heirs. Will you inform me if this will be permitted, as I do not wish to incur any further expense, without some hope of remuneration.
Yours Respectfully J. H. Maxwell

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter relative to soldiers of the Revolutionary War and War of 1812.
Revolutionary War and War of 1812 data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension, based upon military service of soldiers in those wars.
A careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file on account of the services of Andrew Patchin, Eli Patchin, Abijah Patchin, Asahel, Asael, Azel Patchin, and Hezikiah Patchin, in the Revolutionary War, or of Noah Patchin, in the War of 1812, all spellings of the names searched.
The records of the only Ebenezer Patchen and the only Jacob Patchin, all spellings of the names searched, that are found on the Revolutionary War records of this office are furnished you herewith, on separate pages, as found in the claims for pension based upon service in the Revolutionary War.
Very truly yours
