The certificates required by Mr Edwards are to the papers together with the family record in fact every thing that Mr Edwards desires but the record of Marriage and if the clerk's office of the county court of Monnegalia county had not been destroyed by fire in 1796 by fire he should have had that
I am anxious to [redacted] person can have their business arranged character without employing an agent in Wash- ington city. I am in hopes this old lady will be placed on the pension list without having to give one years pay to some man in the city on the account of his personal influence or other connections with any clerk in the department. I write as I do because when Wm H. Brown was the member of Congress from this district an application was made for a pension for a Mrs Clayton she could not get her business arranged right at Washington. Mr Brown in reply to a letter of John Clayton said if he would authorize him to give fifty dollars of the money to some person in Washington the matter he thought would be arranged & she get her pension. I have in my possession this letter.
I ask for Mrs Morgan immediate attention to her busi- ness I do not complain about her papers being sent but I have no doubt it was all right respectfully J. S. Haymond

Dear Sir,
On the 21 st day of September 1849, Mrs. Lucia Morgan, widow of Zachariah Morgan, was inscribed on the Pension roll at the rate of twenty five dollars & eighty seven cents per annum, from the 24 th of March 1848. She was so allowed a pension under the act of 22 nd July 1848, which act says such widows shall be entitled to the a pension during such widowhood, of equal amount per annum that their husbands would be entitled to, if living," &c. There was evidently an error (I suppose an oversight) in fixing the amount of Mrs. Morgan's pension; — I suppose this was intended for half of the amount her husband drew. Until very recently the old lady supposed all was right according to law; but she now desires, through me to have it rectified, as she is & was clearly entitled to the pay of her husband's draw, in future, & to the excess that has not been drawn since 4 th March 1848. The amount being small Mrs. Morgan did not draw last fall & has not since March 1850. I desired the old certificate will be returned at any moment that the new one may issue. Mrs. M. is very old and it is hoped that you will cause this correction to be made at once, so that she may have the benefit of it next March. Your immediate attention is respectfully requested by, your friend,

Mr. Haze Morgan Attorney and Counsellor at Law Clarksburg, West Virginia
ZACKQUIL MORGAN W. 1912 BA-J/MLHP:MLB
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter of June 13, in which you state that the photostatic copies of four pages on file in Revolutionary War claim for pension, W. 1912, based upon service of Zackquil Morgan were received by you. You state that when you collected data from this claim in 1900, in the Pension Office, that you read one paper which was written entirely in this soldier's own handwriting and was partly in French, also, that it referred to the statement of his brother Evan, whose memory was better than his, etc., and you recall that this deposition was made at the request of the Secretary of War, this paper, four pages, being the one in which you are most interested.
The papers in this pension claim have all been reexamined and found to be in tact. The pages selected from this claim for your copies, four in number, were those of this soldier's declaration dated August 27, 1832, and his amended declaration dated February 25, 1833, which are the two declarations upon which his pension certificate dated April 23, 1833, as correctly stated by you, was issued.
In the section of Virginia in which that soldier resided, many cases of fraud in regard to United States pension claims were detected, in consequence of which a United States District Attorney was sent to that territory to investigate and interrogate all Revolutionary War pensioners and report his findings to the proper Government official.
It would seem that the document to which you refer is the report of the United States District Attorney in the case of Zackquil Morgan, dated November 13, 1834, on the reverse side of which is the notation by that attorney: "Fraud". This is one page only, however, and not four as believed by you, which number of pages you may have confused with his former declarations comprising that number of pages.

There is on file a copy of a letter written by the Pension Office, as a result of the investigation, dated March 21, 1885. addressed to Mr. Thomas P. Ray, requesting him to inform Zackquill Morgan, and others, that it had been directed that their names be stricken from the pension rolls as not entitled to pension, on which date Zackquill Morgan is recorded as "Dropped". This document was not selected for photostatic copies, believing that your request was for those which were sent. This is a misleading document to persons not familiar with the attorney's style. It is in his (the attorney's) handwriting, but as he took Zackquill Morgan's deposition he wrote it in the first person and signed the soldier's name, himself. The signature on the copies you received is, without doubt, the soldier's own signature and bears no similarity, whatever, to the writing on the one in question.
Photostatic copies of all other papers on file under W. 1918 will be furnished you at the rate of twenty-five cents a page. The number of pages to be copied is twenty-three.
Please make remittance by money order drawn to the order of the Treasurer of the United States.

GENTLEMEN:
HAVE JUST RECEIVED PHOTOSTAT COPIES OF THE PAPERS IN THE FOLLOWING REVOLUTIONARY WAR CLAIMS:
EVAN MORGAN, S 11098, 12 PP.;
ZACKQUIL MORGAN, W. 1912, 4 PP.,-
FOR WHICH PLEASE ACCEPT MY THANKS.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE PAPERS IN THE CLAIM FIRST NAMED ABOVE; BUT ABOUT THE YEAR 1900 I DID, IN THE PENSION OFFICE, INSPECT THE PAPERS IN THE CLAIM OF ZACKQUIL MORGAN [W. 1912] ABOVE MENTIONED, AMONG WHICH WAS A STATEMENT OF THE SERVICES OF THE SAID CLAIMANT IN HIS OWN HANDWRITING, ON A FOLDED SHEET OF LEGAL-CAP PAPER, MAKING FOUR PAGES, IN WHICH THE CLAIMANT MADE REFERENCE TO THE STATEMENT OF HIS BROTHER EVAN, WHOSE MEMORY, HE SAID, WAS BETTER THAN HIS, AND IN WHICH STATEMENT OF SAID ZACK- QUIL APPEARED SEVERAL PHRASES ENTIRELY IN THE FRENCH LANGUAGE. AT THAT TIME I COPIED COPIOUSLY FROM SAID STATEMENT, WHICH WAS THE ONLY DOCUMENT WHOLLY IN CLAIMANT'S OWN HANDWRITING.
WHEN I RECEIVED YOUR LETTER OF RECENT DATE ADVISING ME THAT THESE DOCUMENTS WERE NOT IN THE HANDWRITING OF THE RESPECTIVE CLAIM- ANTS I WAS WILLING TO TAKE CHANCES AS TO THE HANDWRITING IN THE ONE STATEMENT WHICH I HAD PREVIOUSLY READ. THERE WERE SEVERAL MORE THAN FOUR PAGES OF RECORDS IN THIS JACKET, AND I AM WRITING YOU

TO ASK THAT YOU CHECK UP ON THIS AND IF THE MISSING DOCUMENT IS FOUND ADVISE ME AND I WILL REMIT FOR A COPY OF SAME. I FEAR IT HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE FILE AND MAY BE GONE FOREVER. IT WAS MUCH MORE HISTORIC THAN ANYTHING CONTAINED IN THE EVAN MORGAN CLAIM, AND I HOPE IT MAY YET BE RECOVERED.
VERY RESPECTFULLY,
Haze Morgan -
CHAIRMAN, THE MORGAN MORGAN MONUMENT COMMISSION OF WEST VIRGINIA.
P.S. - It may be possible that the statement I have in mind might be among the papers in a rejected or other claim, if any such there was. I recall that it started off by saying it was written at the request of the then Secretary of War. M.

DEAR SIR:
ON BEHALF OF A COMMISSION OF WHICH I AM CHAIRMAN APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNOR OF WEST VIRGINIA TO ERECT A MONUMENT TO THE LATTER STATE'S FIRST SETTLER, FOR WHICH THE LEGISLATURE APPROPRIATED THE SUM OF FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS, I ADDRESSED A COMMUNICATION TO YOU ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO ASKING FOR PHOTOSTATIC COPIES OF THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR SERVICE RECORDS OF ZACKQUELL MORGAN AND EVAN MORGAN, IN THEIR OWN HANDWRITING; THE LATTER BEING THE LAST SURVIVING PENSIONER OF THAT PERIOD IN WEST VIR- GINIA. I CALLED ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT A LONG TIME AGO I HAD THE PLEASURE OF READING THESE MANUSCRIPTS THEN ON FILE IN THE ORIGINAL PENSION CLAIMS IN THE PENSION OFFICE. THE COMMITTEE WAS REQUIRED TO MAKE A HISTORICAL REPORT OF SAID FIRST SETTLER AND HIS IMMEDIATE FAMILY AS TO THEIR AID IN ESTABLISHING CIVIL- IZATION ON THE THEN WESTERN FRONTIER.
I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY REPLY TO THE AFORESAID LETTER, WHICH CONTAINED SUFFICIENT DATA FOR IDENTIFICATION OF THE RECORDS.
MAY I HAVE THE HONOR OF RECEIVING SOME INFORMATION AS TO WHAT DISPOSITION, IF ANY, HAS BEEN MADE OF MY REQUEST AS AFORESAID FOR PHOTOSTATS [FOR WHICH WE ARE WILLING, OF COURSE, TO PAY IF REQUIRED]?
VERY RESPECTFULLY,

DEAR SIR:
SOME TIME AGO THE STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA APPROPRIATED $5,000.00 FOR THE ERECTION OF A MONUMENT TO ONE MORGAN MORGAN , ITS FIRST SETTLER, AND A COMMISSION WAS APPOINTED TO THAT END. IT BECAME THE DUTY OF THE COMMISSION TO MAKE AN HISTORICAL REPORT TO THE STATE ON THAT SUBJECT, TOUCHING SAID MORGAN AND HIS IMMEDIATE FAMILY, SEVERAL OF WHOM WERE REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS. TWO OF THESE SOLDIERS, NAMELY ZACK Q ILL MORGAN AND EVAN MORGAN, WERE PENSION CLAIMANTS, AND LODGED IN THE PAPERS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE CLAIMS WERE MANUSCRIPT ACCOUNTS, IN THEIR OWN HANDWRITING, OF THEIR SERVICE (WRITTEN AT THE REQUEST OF THE SECRETARY OF WAR).
I INSPECTED EACH OF THESE MANUSCRIPTS [EACH CONFINED, AS I REMEMBER, TO ONE SHEET OF PAPER] SEVERAL YEARS AGO; BUT I DO NOT HAVE THE NUMBERS OF THE SAID CLAIMS. HOWEVER, ZACK Q ILL MORGAN'S CERTIFICATE IS DATED THE 23RD DAY OF APRIL, 1833; AND I ASSUME EVAN MORGAN'S CERTIFICATE IS OF APPROXIMATELY THE SAME DATE.
AS EXHIBITS TO BE FILED WITH A SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT I WOULD LIKE FOR THE COMMISSION A PHOTOSTATIC COPY OF EACH OF THE ABOVE-MENTIONED MANUSCRIPTS.
PLEASE ADVISE ME WHETHER OR NOT THE STATE MAY HAVE COPIES OF THE AFORESAID MANUSCRIPTS AND WHAT THE COST WILL BE [MEANING PHOTOSTATIC COPIES]?
VERY RESPECTFULLY,

Dear Sirs:
In the histories of Zacquille G. Morgan, who settled in this country before the United States was actually born, there has been some confusion of his record with that of Captain Zacquille Morgan, his son, which I am trying to obtain to clear up the discrepancies. In the belief that you have this record I am first requesting your consideration of the case.
You will note from the enclosed copy of my letter to Mr. T. Ray Dille, Morgantown, W. Va., that the Captain Zacquille Morgan, the son, served in this territory in 1814. A bill, H. R. 52, 14th. Congress, 1st. Session, was for the relief of his widow and children, but never passed, although favorably reported by the War Department. I have traced all Capitol records and find nothing tangible with respect to his entire service history, and thought perhaps the enclosed information would be sufficient to locate his record; or, in fact, there may be an application for pension from which we can obtain photostatic copies.
Your careful consideration of this matter will be appreciated.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Dille:
I find further information in the case of Zacquille Morgan, as follows: The Bill, H.R.52, 14th. Congress, 1st. Session, contained the following report---
January 26, 1816
"The committee on pensions and revolutionary claims, to whom was referred the petition of Elizabeth Morgan, widow of Zacquille Morgan, in behalf of herself and children.
REPORT---That the petitioner states that her husband was a captain in the army, and was engaged with his company in the defence of the city of Washington in August, 1814. That by reason of the excessive heat of the weather and the forced marches which he made to join the American forces before the battle of Bladensburg, and the exertions which he used to keep his company in order after the retreat of that day was ordered, he became completely exhausted and fell dead in the road. She states that Capt. Morgan left six minor children, and prays that Congress will place her and her children on the same footing with the widows and orphans of those officers who died of wounds received in battle.
The material facts stated in the petition are supported by the testimony submitted, and shews, that although Captain Morgan did not die as gloriously as some other officers of our army, yet he died in the service of his country, and consequently that his case is within the spirit of those provisions which have heretofore been made. Whether these provisions be viewed as mere inducements to tempt the citizen to engage in the service of his country, or as the charity of a grateful government, extended to the bereaved widow and orphan, or as both, they are no less applicable to this than the cases provided for. They think the relief prayed for should be granted, and for that purpose report a bill. "
This bill was carefully traced and it is found that it never passed. An effort will be made to obtain a report from the Revolutionary War division of the Veterans Administration to determine the extent of Captain Morgan's service.
Very truly yours,
