Sir
Having seen it stated in the public prints that Congress had amended the Bounty Land Act of March 3 rd 1836 to receive parol evidence of services
I would respectfully inquire if it entitles those soldiers and widows of such that established their claims to a pension on account of military services to the United States rendered in the war of the Revolution and whose only proof was parol evidence?
Or in other words Are all who have established their claim and are granted a pension in the Revolutionary War intitled to Bounty Land if they never have received this Bounty? If so is any further proof necessary than that of quantity?
If so I would respectfully request the attention of the Non Commissioned to applications made in behalf of Mrs Elizabeth Condit No 20,930 Mary McVittie widow of Adam McVittie No 40,015 Also of Anna Carpenter widow of Saml Carpenter No 40,088 Yours with Respect
