Commrs of Genl Land Office Sir,
Lewis Noe (sometimes written Noone) was a Rev. Soldier, in the N. Eng line & a Pensioner of the U. S. by the act of March 18/18 at $8. per m. & died in 1838.
His children, believe him entitled to Bounty Land, & express a conviction that he never recd. a Warrant during his life time, & have requested me to make enquiry on the subject.
Will you do this & me the favor, to ascertain & inform me, whether or not by the terms of his Enlistment & service he became so entitled; & whether or not a Warrant was ever granted & if so, to whom?
If he were not so entitled - by enlistment & service, are his children entitled to the benefit of the Act of March 3 rd 1855?
It is believed that he served in Capt. Hamtramck's Co. & Col. Van Courtlandt's Regt. whether or not he at first so enlisted is not known, but his Declaration & Voucher on the file, will show.
By the Act of June 7 th 32, as a Sergeant, was he not entitled to an Increase of pension - viz: $12. per month instead of $8.?
Can the children rightfully claim such Increase, to his death, on proper proof of the time of his death, & of their kinship & identity?
Being personally a stranger to you, I refer to the Hon. E. Whiting - for any information you may wish respecting me.
Very respectfully -
Your ob. Servt. &c.

Dear Sir.
Will you please ascertain from the Records in your possession for me if Levins Roe and Michael Leawler of N. Jersey drew pensions from the U.S. Government at any time as Revolutionary Soldiers or employees and also to what Regiment or organization they belonged to while in the service if the Records show
I wish this information for Historical purposes and by furnishing me with the same you will very very greatly Oblige
Yours very Respectfully
D. F. Leawler
Note
There was 2  Levins Roe from N.J. during this War. The one I wish the record of is known to have drawn his pension at Morristown. N.J. Michel Leawler entered the service as a teamster (being a boy at that time) but later on was a soldier he also drew a pension but at what place in N.J. is not known. I have written the Adjutant- over

General of St. G. on these points he has kindly aided me all in his power but the Records there is very incomplete. The same condition exists in the Record and Pension Office of the War Dept. Your Records is now my only show to get authentic Information. showing they were in the Revolutionary War which evidence I so greatly desire

Dear Comrade I am about to make application to join the Sons of the American Revolution (War of 1775 to 1783) I am required to furnish some Official document to show that my Great Grandfather was a soldier in that War, before I can be admitted to their society & I ask your kindly aid in furnishing me with the necessary documents if to be found among the records in your Department. The 1 st Great Grandfather signed by Mark & they spelled his name in various ways as their caprice suggested Michael Leallen or Leallen but his name should be Michael Leantler & if you succeed in finding it will you please correct & write it that way as otherwise they might stand on a technicality & the document be thrown out as not the right person. Michael Leantler is supposed to have enlisted about June 14 th 1780 at Morristown N.J. and served under some or all the following Captains, Revely, Smith, Armstrong, Winchester of Colonel Gurney 3 rd Regt. Md. Line, & was discharged at Annapolis Md. at the close of the War. He was a resident of Somerset Co. Warren Township N.J. after the War up to the time of his death & drew a Pension from the Government while residing in that locality.

On this seventh day of July 1827 personally appeared in open Court, before the Judges of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas, holden at Morris-Town, in and for the county of Morris, in the term of July in the year aforesaid, (the said Court being a Court of Record, possessing a seal, proceeding according to the course of the common law, having a jurisdiction unlimited in point of amount, keeping record of its proceedings, and its judgments being removable by writ of error only) Lewis Rowe aged 64 years, and resident in said county, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the provision made by the acts of Congress of the 18th March, 1818, and the 1st of May, 1820, that he the said Lewis Rowe enlisted for the term of nine or six months on the 8th June 1776 in the state of New York , in the Company commanded by Capt. Hallet in the Regiment commanded by Col. Richmond , & served out the period; That late in the year 1776 or early in 1777 (month unknown) he again enlisted in the Company commanded by Capt. Hallet in Col. Van Cortlandt's Regiment in the line of the state of New York for the term of three years ; that he continued to serve in said corps until some time in 1779, when he again enlisted for the term of during the war in the same regiment sometimes his company was under command of Captain French at the close of the war under Captain Vanbrant , that he served till the close of the war, when he was discharged near Stoelung , in New York state. That his name has been placed on the Pension list & rejected therefrom on account of his property
And in pursuance of the act of the 1st of May, 1820, I do solemnly swear that I was a Resident Citizen of the United States, on the 18th day of March, 1818, and that I have not, since that time, by gift, sale, or in any manner, disposed of my property, or any part thereof, with intent thereby so to diminish it as to bring myself within the provisions of an act of Congress, entitled "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States, in the Revolutionary War," passed on the 18th day of March, 1818; and that I have not, nor has any person in trust for me, any property or securities, contracts or debts, due to me; nor have I any Income , other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed, and by me subscribed. That, since the exhibition of my first schedule, the following changes have been made in my property which is as follows viz -
He has no land or dwelling house, nor any description of real estate whatever. He has no hogs nor cattle whatever, nor any bed or bedding. The following articles are all the property he owns, viz -
  one hog  1 barrel & tub, 1 pail    one dish kettle  one post axe    one water pail  a few old earthen dishes    one broad hoe  one shovel    1 iron pot  8 dunghill forks    1 axe 2 shovels  1 scythe & handle    1 kettle & 2 wedges  no notes, no bonds, or other    1 spade & hoe  securities for money, no book    1 tin dipper & plates  debts due to him    1 platter, 6 tin cups & forks     4 spoons two pitch forks     2 dung forks 2 guns   

This declarant further states, that he is by occupation a Tanner, but from his age & infirmities is unable to perform very little of any kind of labor, having been for many years much afflicted by Rheumatism & an ulcer upon his left ankle which disqualifies him for exertion. His wife is now about 55 years of age & totally disqualified from any labor in consequence of an incurable lameness of her left leg, which afflicted her for many years, she was compelled to submit to amputation of the limb at the ankle in the year 1802 & since that time the disease returning & affecting the limb still higher, she had it amputated at the knee, in the same year. She now has two very painful ulcers on her remaining leg, & is totally helpless, requiring constant attention of physicians & nurses, which have absorbed all the estate of this declarant, some large debts having been contracted by her illness before his first schedule was filed & several others since that time. He has eight living children, but one of them living at home, all the others providing for themselves. His son living at home is Lewis, aged about 22 years, & able to provide for himself. Since the exhibition of my first schedule the following changes have been made in my property viz. Seventy nine acres of land, contained in two lots, sold & conveyed on the 13 th February A.D. 1822, to Shindler Mundy, for the sum of nineteen hundred & thirty one dollars & 84 cents, being the monies due upon a mortgage given by this declarant to said Mundy, on the 13 th day of November A.D. 1812 to secure the payment of monies actually owing to him by this declarant, & that he rec d from said Mundy no money, or other property on account of said sale, nor has any expectation of any money or other property from him or any other person.
This declarant owes to various persons, different sums as follows
  viz to Jonathan Walker on a note  $ 10. 00    James Roll  note - 12 00    Vincent Boisaubin  note - 15 50    Dempster  do - 46 00     $ 83 50  
making the sum of eighty three dollars fifty cents of bona fide debts, known to this declarant, beside a debt to Doctor Elmer, for medical services, the amount being unknown.
This Declarant further states, that some few articles of personal property of a perishable nature enumerated in his first schedule may not be mentioned herein, as some has been broken & become entirely worthless worthless - some few others may have been obtained since & are now enumerated.

This declarant further states, that in the former part of his life he was sometimes in the habit of writing his second name thus, Howe , & at other times thus, How , but more frequently of late, How & that he is the same person who served in Colonel Van Cortlandt's Regiment & who rec d his pension for little more than one year, under the law of 1818.

I, Lewis Conditt, of Morris town, New Jersey, do hereby certify to the Secretary of War, & to the Commission of Pensions, that the Pension Certificate, granted by the United States to Lewis Nowe a Sergeant in the Revolutionary Army, entitling him to receive from the New Jersey Agency, at the rate of Eight dollars per month, commencing on the twenty seventh day of April, eighteen hundred & eighteen, & bearing date at the War Office, the ninth day of February, eighteen hundred & twenty, numbered 16,464, signed, (as is believed) by J. C. Calhoun has been entrusted to me for safe keeping, by said Lewis Nowe, from the time of his receiving the first payment thereon from the United States, until the present time, for safe keeping. And I further certify, that said Certificate is lost, or mislaid, & cannot now be found. — The manner of its loss, as I verily believe, is as follows, viz: — Nowe's papers, viz: his oath of identity, & power of Attorney, were made out by me in the usual form, for receiving his semi-annual payment, in September last, & upon presenting them at the Agency in Trenton, payment thereof was declined, on the ground, that the copy of the Certificate, was not exact, inasmuch as in the one, the date, was expressed by figures, & in the other by letters. — Accordingly — a new form, or oath of identity, with a power of atty was made out, & sent by me, by mail, addressed to Frederick King Esq. of Middlesex Co. (where Nowe then lived, & where he still lives, altho' perhaps some 5 or 6 miles distant from King,) who was desired by me to have the papers duly executed by Nowe, before a competent Magistrate, & then to return them to me at this place by mail. Nowe's Certificate, as I verily believe, accompanied the other papers, to enable the Magistrate to certify the correctness of the copy. — Mr. King, as he informs me, had the new oath of identity taken & the Power of Atty signed & acknowledged by Nowe, & then enclosed & directed the papers to my address at this place, & lodged them in the Post office at Rahway, Middlesex Co. The papers have never come to my hands, altho' I have taken great pains, by frequent enquiries at the Post office, & the Postmaster here, has carefully examined his office & papers, yet no trace can be found of them, & my belief is, that they have been lost, either by remissness of some person or persons in some of the post offices, or purloined from the mail when travelling from Rahway to Morris town. Being no prospect of receiving the lost Certificate of said Lewis Nowe, I have to request most respectfully of the Secretary of War, & of the Commission of Pensions, that a new Certificate may issue for his benefit, in lieu of that which has been lost. And inasmuch as Nowe now resides near New Brunswick, in Middlesex Co. & has applied to my respected friend, the Hon. Jas. F. Randolph, to aid him in obtaining his semi-annual payments hereafter, I will ask the favor of you to enclose the new Certificate to said James F. Randolph.
The Books of the New Jersey Agency will show, that Nowe had been regularly paid to March 1835, & now subsequently.
Very respectfully &c.
