Dear Madam:
You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W.4791, that Anthony Remington (the name also appears as Remington) was born April 4, 1758, place not stated.
While residing in Warwick, Rhode Island, he enlisted late in August, 1776, and served one year as a marine in Captain Duval's or Duvall's Company, on board the ship "Providence", Captain Abraham Whipple.

In the fall of 1833, he moved to the State of Ohio, where his daughter, Fanny and her husband, William P. Barnes, had located.
He died November 8 or 10 or 30, 1833 (all of these dates appear in the claim), in Freedom, Portage County, Ohio. It was stated that his death occurred about one week after his arrival in Ohio.

Warren O, April 25. 1834 Comm ee of Pensions Sir
Herewith I have the honor to transmit to your office papers claiming increase of Pension to Anthony Remington and Pension to Hannah Remington under act of July 4 1836, and increase to her under act of July 7, 1838. These papers consist of Affidavit of Frances Barnes, wife of William P. Barnes setting up said claim as surviving child of the parties. Also Power of Attorney to myself. Next Affidavit of William P. Barnes with leaf of old Family Book of Remingtons attached showing number, names, and ages of their children, with one exception; and also Certificate of Probate Court showing the parties to have been Pensioners, with respective amounts, dates and places, of their decease, and names and number of surviving children

The proof by the leaf of the Family Record is proof in addition to any supposed to be on file in the case, and shows conclusively the marriage to have taken place late in year of 1781 or early in year 1782, and that there might have been service after that time.
We claim an increase of pension to Anthony under act of 7 Dec 1832 from $96 to $144.00 per year the pay of a Seaman in the Revolution. It is believed he served long enough to entitle him to full pay, for his enlistment was for three years. This service in the Navy was under Capt. Minter. It is believed & of course was in the Continental line.
He also served on land and served after the marriage in Navy and on land it is believed, and certainly in the land forces after marriage. From this we claim the pension of $144.00 per year from the date of death of Anthony Nov. 30, 1833 to date of death of Hannah Aug.
under act of July 4, 1836

1842, deducting the 5 years pension of 40 p. to the heir under the act of July 7, 1838.
The evidence already on file at Washington in the cases of both these parties, as well as in the 3 d and 4 th Auditors offices at Washington will abundantly support the claims.
Hoping to hear a favorable report in this case, ere long, I have the honor to be Sir, your obedient servant J. F. Asper
