Hon L. P. Waldo Commission of Pensions.
Your favour of the 29 th ultimo was duly recd. I was under the impression from what I had heard that the papers in regard to the application of the heirs of Haysle for a pension were filed in the Pension office at Washington. I find I was mistaken.
I send you herewith the deposition of Conrad Smith & George M c Laren, both residing in this County, & entitled to Credit, taken before John Sweeney a Justice of the Peace. which proved the time of the marriage of Philip and Mary Haysle and the time of their death respectively with the number of children who survived Mary Haysle. I enclose also the deposition of Harry Harman & Elizabeth Sweeney (persons entitled to Credit) taken before John Sweeney Esq. showing that Jacob Haysle was one of the children who survived his mother.

has since died,
John Naught is now the only surviving child of Mary Naught decd. If it is necessary to prove the precise time of the death of Jacob Naught it can and be done the names of his surviving children it can be done. But I presume this is not necessary for in years of the 29 th ult. you say - " the names of the children who now survive " John Naught is now the only surviving child of Mary Naught decd.
I sent you in my previous letter the Certificate of the Register showing the death of Mary Naught & that letters of Administration on her estate had been duly granted to Geo N. Jones. If there is any deficiency in the proof now before you I hope you will be very explicit in pointing it out, & in directing me how to fulfill the requirements of the law. The case is a just one and I feel confident  convinced that it can be satisfactorily made out.
It appears that Philip Naught also

on the 4 th day of April 1827. in the 67 th Year of his age. The records at Wash- ington will show that he had drawn his pension under the Act of 18 th March 1818. up to within about one month before his death. I respectfully refer you to the papers on file in this case.
Your friend & obs. Servt. James A. M c Laughlin

Chambersburg Sept. 21 st 1853
To, Hon. L. P. Waldo Comr. of Pensions &c
Sir
Your letter of the 15 th inst. was duly rec d . It contains the printed form by which a widow is to make application for a pension - and directs me to proceed in the case of Mary Nagle according to said form. I take leave to remark that Mary Nagle is dead - and the application is made by her administrator Geo. W. Tomm Esq r . I have furnished a full proof of her death and forwarded with it a certified copy of the aff t . of Geo. W. Tomm as her adm r by the Reg r of Franklin County Pa: It is therefore evident that the form of the declaration sent cannot be followed in this case.
In a similar case submitted last winter to the Department I was only required to show the death of the widow and that letters of administration were duly granted. If now you have a form for an application by an adm r of a widow different from what I have already made in this case, please send

it on to me and it shall be strictly followed
Record proof of the marriage of Mary Nagle could not be obtained - but the fact of marriage previously to the year 1794 is as I respectfully conceive es- tablished by the testimony of two respectable persons, whose credibility has been duly certified by the officer who admin- istered the oaths to them.
I beg to refer you to the deposition of Mrs Smith and Sarah M c Ferren taken on the 2 nd day of Sept. 1852 before John Survey Esq d . That deposition states expressly that Philip Nagle - a pensioner under the act of 18 th March 1818 - died at his residence in Franklin County on 4 th Apr 1827 - aged 67 yrs. that he left a widow named Mary Nagle whose maiden name was Smith - and to whom he had been married in May 1791 by Peter Denberger - a minister of the gospel that he left certain children whose names and ages respectively are stated. I think this proof fills the requirement of the regulations of the Pension office. But if you continue to think that more proof is necessary to establish the fact of marriage , than that already furnished in the depositions of two res-

respectable persons in this County. the depositions of other persons in the same neighbourhood who knew Philip & Mary Stage can be obtained to prove the marriage before 1794 that they knew them to live together as man & wife, and altho' they did not attend the wedding knew (as neighbours) of the time & place it occurred. I hope however you will consider the fact established by the evidence of two respectable persons which is already before you, and not subject the parties to the expense trouble and delay of furnishing extra evidence in this case.
In conclusion, I would say, that if the application will not pass in its present condition, I earnestly desire its defects so explicitly set forth, and the requirements of the Pension office so clearly stated, that they may afford a reasonable chance of remedying the one and complying with the other.
Yours truly & Respectfully Jas. M c Farahan

Chambersburg June 25 th 1853
To Hon. L. P. Waldo Comr. of Pensions
Dr. Sir:
An application was filed in 1851 or 52 by John Nangle of Franklin County Penna, as the surviving heir of Mary Nangle dec d for a pension. His father Philip Nangle who was a revolution ary soldier in the year 1822. drew a pension under the act of 18 th March 1818. He died at his residence in this (Franklin County) on the 4 th day of April 1827. in the 67 year of his age. He left a widow. Mary Nangle, whose maiden name was Smith, and to whom he was lawfully married in 1791. His widow after his death remained unmarried until the time of her death. She died in this County on the 25 th day of December 1840 in the 71 st year of her age. Only two of the children of Philip and Mary Nangle survived the widow. the names of these are John Nangle, and Jacob Nangle. John still survives, Jacob has died since the

death of his Mother leaving several chil- dren.
Letters of administration have been granted to George W. Jones Esq. on the estate of Mary Nangle and as will appear by the official cer- tificate of the Register of this County herewith enclosed
It seems to me that there can be no difficulty in regard to the payment of the pension that by law is due to the heirs of Mary Nangle and to the ad- ministrator, whose duty it will be to distribute the same according to law.
Will you do me the favor to take up this case and dispose of it. I do not know what papers have been filed in the case, but presume the facts as herein stated are fully proved, from all that I can learn from Mr. John Nangle
Your prompt attention will oblige
Your friend Jas. M c Laughan

Dear Sir;
Your letter of October the 12 th 1853 was duly recd. and I have to the best of my skill and ability complied with the requirements therein laid down to entitle the heir of Mary Magle decd. to the money due to them.
I send herewith the cert. of the Register of Wills &c to show that Geo. M. Toms was duly appointed administrator of Mary Magle decd. - I send a copy of his bond - under cert. & seal of the Register. I send the application of Geo. M. Toms admr. of Mary Magle decd. according to the form you furnished; this application is in my own hand writing annexed to it is the affidavit of William Reilly Esq. myself that Geo. M. Toms Esq. is the identical person who represents himself to be - that his signature thereto attached is genuine - and following this is the certificate of the three Judges of our Court of Common Pleas that Mr. Reilly and I are entitled to credit. Cert. of the Prothon. that they are the Judges of the 16 th Judicial Dist. of Pennsylvania. The application of Geo. M. Toms admr. was made in open court as set forth - I also send a copy of proof made in open court by Conrad Smith & Jacob Smith as to the widowhood of Mary Magle her age the time of her death & the number of children who survived her, this proof is on file in the Clerks office, and it is certified under his hand and seal that

the Court adjudged the proof sufficient to establish the facts therein stated
I also send two depositions, one of Elizabeth Rock, the other of John Beard, both of this county - to prove the fact of the marriage of Philip & Mary Mayer was recognized as man and wife prior to 1794. These depositions are as full and conclusive as to this fact as could possibly be expected. The Justice M c Intyre certifies as to the moral character & credibility of these witnesses. The Justice is one of our most worthy citizens. The clerk certifies that M c Intyre is an acting Justice of the Peace that full faith & credit ought to be given to his official acts &c. - under the seal of the Court
You will also observe on the certified Copy of the record that Dea. W. Toms Esq d testified in open Court that he had made diligent search for the record of the marriage of Philip & Mary Mayer among the Records of the Lutheran Church of which Mr. Schenberger once was pastor and that he could find no record of the same date
I ought to observe that Elizabeth Rock's deposition shows the parties to have been married in 1791 and gives a good & sufficient reason for knowing. This case has now been made out with yr. letter of the 12 th Oct. last and the accompanying documents and directions before me and I feel satisfied that the requirements of the Department have been complied with. It has been attended to at the expense

of a good deal of time and much trouble by Geo. W. Tompkins - one our most es- teemed citizens, and I hope it will now pass without further delay or difficulty
I am
Very respectfully Yours &c. &c. Isaac L. Buchanan
