PENSION OFFICE,
Aug 12 1856.
N. B.—Endorse the words “ Additional evidence ” upon the envelope of all papers addressed to this office upon business already before it, and the number to which they refer, upon the papers.
SIR:
The application of John Nave
for bounty land under the act of 3d March, 1855, No. 216170 has been examined, and the claim suspended.
Service is alleged to have been rendered in Capt Hendley's Co.
The Auditor reports: not on rolls of said Co.
The claim is, therefore, suspended for other evidence of the service alleged.
If there is any roll, discharge, or other record evidence of such service, it must be furnished. But if there be none, parol evidence will be received instead. In such cases the positive testimony of at least two witnesses who were in the same service, or in a situation to know the facts about which they testify, will be required; and the witnesses in their affidavits must state particularly the facts and circumstances of the claimant's service, and their means of knowledge concerning the same.

Dear Sir
In answer to your letter of the 12 th inst relative to the claim of John Clave a private in Capt. Hendley's company near of 1850 I was notified by the Department that the rolls of Capt. Hendley was not on file that they had been destroyed and when I made the application for said Clave I was advised of the fact and I accompanied the application with the affidavits of George P. Stout and Old man Campbell who was in the same company with applicant which I presume will be sufficient as they testify very fully I am very respectfully &

Dear Sir;
I have read in a book of pioneers in the State library that my great-grandfather, John Nave(or Neave) was a veteran of the War of 1812. He was born in Lancaster Co., Pa. in 1770 and died after 1860 in Carter Co., Tenn. He enlisted in the War of 1812 either from Washington Co., Tenn., or from Carter Co., Tenn. I will be greatly obliged to you if you will consult your files and give me all the data you may have on my ancestor. From what I have already furnished you, I think you should not have much difficulty. Thanking you for the favor of a reply,
Yours truly,
(Mrs.) Kate Nave Murphy.
P.S. Will you kindly return this letter, unless it is necessary to keep for your files.
This book of pioneers says also that this same John Nave served in the Indian War so will you please check on this also.
