J. S. Edwards Esqr. Dear Sir - Your letter of July 24. 1844, touching the matter of the claim of Elizabeth Page widow of Reuben Page for a pension was duly rec'd, in which you say "a certificate will be issued under the acts of March 3. 1843. for "the widow of the year, after the day of the husband's death, provided, that the alleged service of Reuben Page be sustained by "the certificate of the Secretary of New Hampshire, who has the rolls "in his keeping." I have procured the copies of the rolls from the military office and herewith forward them.
For the service of 1775 - Page having rec'd pay for a Regimental coat. I understand the pension department allows 8 mos service - The service in 1776 was under Capt Parker instead of Rand - Rand being dead - It has been allowed to allow 3 mos & 15 days service - The service under Capt Stone you will see by the roll is 2 mos & 16 days and the service in 1782 appears to be under Capt Webster instead of Capt Smith & is 7 mos & 3 days -
Please let me suggest a call of your attention to the applications of Mohitaba Loring - I am as heretofore and Mrs - Greenaw -
Your earliest convenience to the conclusion of these cases is solicited - because if these persons can ever to receive the benefit of the government - time swaying them off very fast - they will be extremely happy to see it. on this side eternity.
