Your letter has been forwarded to me at this place - I have done every thing I could do in the case your claim for a pension. I went to Milton and could not find any one there that could give me much information in relation to your fathers services in the revolutionary war - If you can produce your fathers letter writing in the public streets for years - some one will expect my liberality, and ask me to treat

hundred dollars extra to help a poor devil, out of town. If I was not so well known, I could  would engage in some kind of business - drive a hack or omnibus twice down old houses - or clean the streets every thing to get my bread - But even in this menial employment, I should be mortified to have a man point me out in the street and remark to his friend there is the well known Capitalist from New York cleaning the gutter of the street through which he was to build a Railway for the great accommodation of our Citizens - Now pause and laugh again - laugh - laugh - till your sides ache as mine do now -
But a few days weeks since I was reining up a span of splendid black Horses - Lady by my side - head up - No Russian Count could have dis- played more dignity, in my saddle or to keep up my position - Carrying it out to the very letter of Shakespeare (Lilith The world is deceived by ornament, and now dare scarcely show my face.

I have been thinking over the whole performance, since my first acquaintance with you, and in spite of my situation — abandoned and left penniless as I am — cannot but laugh at the greatest farce of the day — My business in which I was  had long been engaged had entirely failed I had exhausted my little means in making an effort to get some claims through the Department but in which effort I failed I was not  was not successful. of success full Finding myself now upon my oars with but a few dollars in my pocket I resolved to initiate myself in some other business — where by I could earn my living — Mrs Hunsford spoke of you as a gentleman possessing great means and influence, and presumed that that you could give me a situation on S d Ave R.R. Accordingly I applied to you and was encouraged you extended the warm hand of friendship — took me to your home — bid me share your bread — your table and segars, I also lounged upon your sofa and sat with dignity in your your easy chair Your horses and carriage was

at my pleasure and many a pleasant ride we enjoy- ed together. All this, and even more, you offered to share you grous, but I was not man enou- gh to get in the horse. Now dont get angry but look at the picture and laugh and laugh as I do now. Never was a man in a more situation at this moment than I am, I have not a single penny in my pocket. in debt for my board. my cloths are threadbare and rusty. and am after all known as  known the well known Cupatutist from New York that is to build the Greate Pennsylvania Avenue Railway as soon as Congress shall grant the Charter. Now is this not a ge greate world we live in and do you not confess with me that this ferse but just enacted is one of the greatest farces of the passing day.
If you are really the true friend that you seemed to be. why then I am sorry that so much money has been expended. But on the other hand if you have did it. to try an experiment on a poor and have fun with a poor mortal like myself. why then you must be richly paid. and can well afford to give a

W. A. Shannon Esq. Sir:
Enclosed I return to you the Confid paper you forwarded to me. It is impossible to tell when John Campbell resided when he drew his Donation Land. The paper you sent me is an extract from the "Donation Land Book" which remains in this Office, which is the only evidence we have that soldiers ever drew Lands. We have surveys of the lands drawn & can tell pretty nearly when they were located; but cannot tell whether the men who drew them resided in this State or in some other -
truly yours L. G. Dimock

Surv. Genl ls Office Harrisburg 3 April 1854
W. A. Shannon Esq.
Sir;
In your letter of 28 th Sept. you made inquiry concerning a tract of Donation Land granted to John Campbell.
I find that John Campbell drew No. 1334 in the 7 th Donation District containing 200 ac . The land was patented on the 9 March 1795 but as this Office was at that time a Fee Office, and no patents were enrolled except those upon which the fees were paid; and as but very few soldiers ever appeared to pay the fees, the patents are not recorded; I cannot therefore tell whether the land was patented to John Campbell or to some other person. The tract is located near and west of Oil Creek and must lie in Troy township Crawford Co. or Plum or Cherry tree township Venango Co. I think it is located in Troy township Crawford Co. which is a town shp that adjoins the Venango Co. line

So long a time has elapsed since the reception of your letter that perhaps you have thought it would never be answered; but you know "better late than never" I have been sick nearly all winter
truly yours

Hon L. P. Waldo Commissioner of Pensions Sir
The claim for a pension set up by the children of John Campbell is beyond doubt a just one, but the proof required by the stringent rules of the Department cannot be had -
The Hon J. J. Taylor from Oregon is well acquainted with the applicants. He has examined the papers - and is fully satisfied that the claim is a just one. If the Commissioner will please look over the papers - and the letters recently added thereto, from the Auditor General's Office Pennsylvania, he will see that it is utterly impossible to trace out any proof from that source - as he cannot tell even in what County the land was located. The claim has now been on file some three or four years - and during that time I have made every effort to find the requisit proof, but nothing can be found - John Campbell died in 1810 - at Milton Pa. was very poor - lived

in a small log house, and earned his daily bread by days labor, up to the time of his death. He had therefore no property, and his children have not now a single paper bearing his signature upon it. The Commissioner will therefore readily see the difficulty attending this claim - and that there is nothing more can be added to the proof -
Very respectfully Yours

Some years ago, Miss Priscilla Campbell and Mrs. Rebecca Bell of Owego N.Y. made application for Pensions in right of their father John Campbell, dec d . a soldier of the Revolutionary War. The application was made through an Agent named Ephraim Scott, formerly of Owego N.Y.
I now write in behalf of my wife, Elizabeth, who is a daughter, and one of the Heirs of said John Campbell, to ascertain if anything has ever been obtained by Mr. Scott for the Heirs, from the Govt. as my wife and the other Heirs have never received anything, whatever, and thus far have been unable to obtain any information of or from Mr. Scott. May I, therefore, beg that you will inform me if anything has ever been received for them by Mr. Scott or any one else.

Pension Office  At Dec 2 1850
Sir:
The declaration in the case of Elizabeth Campbell, as. has been received. It is accompanied with  by no proof. The Auditor of Pennsylvania can certify whether any evidence of the alleged service is to be found in his Office. And if it be, it will still be necessary to prove by witnesses cognizant of the fact, that the father of the claimant was the one who rendered that service. The leaf filed as a family record cannot be taken as proof of the date of the marriage. It is evidently but a merely transcribed. The officer who has charge of marriage records in the town in which she was united to her husband, must certify whether he has a record memorandum in relation to it in his possession. If he has not with respect to it, he must know it occurred or also at least know it occurred before 1794, must testify, and must state how long they continued to know her as such wife. The date of her death must be accurately fixed by the testimony of the minister who officiated at her

funeral, the undertaker who made his coffin on some one who kept a record concerning it. A more specific description of the service, embracing the names of his officers, and the commencement and termination of his service. should be given.

Sir,
I herewith return the letter of the Bell of Owego, New York, which pro- bably refers to a claim filed in the office in the year 1850, of Ephraim Schutt, Esq., a nephew of Elizabeth Campbell, do who was the widow of John for the benefit of the Act of July 7, 1838. As this is the case referred to by the Bell, I have to state that it has not been admitted for the reason that no evidence whatever has been added which would identify the husband of said Elizabeth with either of the three or four soldiers named of the husband's name who served in the War of Penn- sylvania. It is asserted by one of the witnesses in the case, Mary Goodlander, that Elizabeth Campbell's husband in- cluded Land for her, Pennsylvania service.

of Record evidence of that fact could be adduced it might be useful in deter- mining the question of identity. One of the soldiers of the Pennsylvania Line named John Campbell Green Land from New York and also from the United States,

Sir,
The additional evidence in the case of Elizabeth Campbell, widow of John, of Pa., has been recd. & filed.
There is no evidence identifying claimants husband with the John Campbell, who belonged to the 10 th Regt. of Pa., & whose services are certified to by the And te General of that state.
When evidence of such identification is furnished this office, the claim will be finally disposed of by me.

Pension Office,
August 7, 1854.
Sir,
I have very carefully examined the evidence filed from time to time in support of a claim for pension in virtue of the services of John Campbell of Pennsylvania. I find that the certificates of the Auditor General of Pennsylvania show that at least one John Campbell performed service in the line of that State - but the certificate unfortunately contains no other facts by which the identity of such soldier may be ascertained, and the parol evidence in this case is so exceedingly meagre that I should not be at all justified in presuming from it that the person in the right of whose services the present claim is asserted is the same person who served as certified by the Auditor. This evidence consists of the affidavit of Mary Goodlander, who born must have been born, according to her own statement, long after the close of the war and whose knowledge upon all the points to which she testifies as to the service; and, indeed as to his remaining benefits, must must have been derived from others - If to this be added that Jacob Wheland, a Justice of the Peace, certifies that he has heard his father say that the claimant's father was a revolutionary soldier, it will comprehend the whole testimony identifying him with the service certified - This is surely insufficient - Certificates furnished by the authorities

of the several states of service performed, as can only be available, in general, to determine the extent of such service. In applications for pensions, it must be satisfactorily shown by other proof that the party applying performed the specific service so certified -
I regret I regret that in many cases, probably well founded this identification cannot be established from the mere lapse of time, and the consequent death of the parties having knowledge of the facts - but this cannot be attributed to the parties claiming, and not to the government - and certainly furnishes no reason for admitting claims upon it insufficient testimony -
I am,
very respectfully
SC
It may be further remarked that one "John Campbell" of the state of Pennsylvania is already a pensioner on our rolls - and although he was not in the line - he might as easily have been as clearly identified with the service certified as the one in whose right the present claim is set up.
I am,
very respectfully

The case of Elizabeth Campbell dec d widow of John of NY has not been allowed, because the parties claiming a pension in her right have failed to establish the service of her husband agreeably to the Regulations of this Office. It is admitted that a John Campbell did serve in the Continental Line in the State of Pa, but the proxy in the papers does not show satisfactorily that her husband and the one in there admitted to have served are identical. - The regularly authorized Agent, Mr Schutt, has been repeatedly advised as to the course necessary to be pursued to complete the case. 538)
