Renewed Declaration
John Bryan Agent
Menden N.H.

State of New Hampshire Sullivan County ss. S
On this 7 th day of June 1851 before Granville Gilmore a Justice of the Peace for said County of Sullivan personally appeared Ann Campbell a resident of Acworth in said County, widow of the late Daniel Campbell aged 83 years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on her oath make the following renewed declaration in order to an increase of her Pension. That she is the widow of Daniel Campbell and a New Hampshire Pensioner of the United States under the Act of the 29 th July 1848 at the rate of Forty Dollars per annum. That not being satisfied with the annual amount of Pension granted her under said act her husband having been a New Hampshire Pensioner of the United States under the Act of the 18 th of March 1818 at the rate of Ninety Six Dollars per annum, she on the 14 th day of January 1851 made a renewed declaration before the above named Magistrate claiming an increase of her Pension from Forty to Ninety Six Dollars per annum, the rate that was granted her husband and the rate to which she believed he was entitled at the time of his death his property having become reduced to less than One Hundred Dollars in amount. That her claim to said increase as appears by a letter from the Pension Office to her Agent John Bryant Esquire of Meriden N. H. was considered and disallowed on the 2 d day of May 1851. - She therefore still claims an increase of her Pension from Forty to Eighty Dollars per annum upon the ground that her late husband Daniel Campbell as was always understood in his lifetime was a during the War man and served more than two years as a private as is shown by his own declaration made under the Act of May 1. 1820 a certified copy of which will here with be transmitted in support of her present claim to increase, together with the Certificate of the Secretary of the State of New Hampshire showing

that her husband was in service in the year 1782 and the deposition of Samuel Royse in which he testifies that they served together and were discharged in the month of June 1783.
She further declares that as she is not satisfied with the decision made by the Department upon her former application as aforesaid she prays a reexamination of the papers filed in her case and particularly the deposition of Thomas M. Dickey who was the administrator upon her late husband's Estate from which it will appear as this declarant believes that the amount of the Inventory of his property was but Ninety Dollars and Nine Cents; and that with that amount of property he was entitled to the benefit of the Acts of March 18, 1818 and May 1, 1820; and that if so she cannot but believe herself entitled to a Pension at the rate of Ninety Six Dollars per annum - But should the Department adhere to its former decision, she trusts that the proofs of her husband's service that will herewith be transmitted, will be deemed sufficient to entitle her to an allowance of Eighty Dollars per annum - She further declares that she is directly interested in the claim asserted by her to an increase of her Pension; and that she designs a compliance with the Rules and regulations of the Office adopted April 18, 1851.

Be it Known that on this 4 th day of January 1857 before Granville Gilmore a justice of the Peace within and for said County of Sullivan personally appeared Ann Campbell a resident of Durham in said County aged 82 years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on her oath make the following renewed declaration in order to an increase of her pension, - That she is the widow of Daniel Campbell and a New Hamp- shire pensioner of the United States under the Act of the 29 th of July 1848 at the rate of Forty dollars per an- num, with the allowance of which the annual amount of pension she has never been satisfied believing herself entitled under said Act, to a pension during her widowhood "of equal amount per an- num that her husband would be if living under existing pension laws." That her husband who she believes was engaged in the New Hampshire Revolutionary service for the space of about three years made application and was admitted to the New Hampshire Pension list for a part of the service he had rendered the country, under the act of the 18 th of March 1818, that is for one year of the same but his pension it is true was discontinued under the act of the 1 st of May 1820 on account of the amount of his property the net balance of which then being to the amount of not far from six hundred dollars which

at the time of his death in February 1829, had be- -come exhausted or so nearly so, in the support of himself wife and three children as that but a small amount of it remained and not exceeding in value as the declarant believes the sum of one hu- dred dollars - the same having been gradually dim- inishing for several years previous thereto. - That she therefore cannot believe that the amount of her husbands property for sometime prior to his death could have been a bar to the continuance of his pension, under the said act of the 18 th of March 1818. - That she consequently claims an increase of her pension from forty to fifty six dollars per annum, the presumed amount that her husband would be entitled to previous to the time of his death under the then existing law or laws. -

My acquaintance with said Campbell commenced sometime previous to the year 1821, and continued to the time of his death which took place at said Acworth on the 25 th day of February 1829, at which time he was a man of small means as to property.

Sir
As the agent of Mrs Ann Campbell a N.H. Pensioner under the Act of the 29 th of July 1848 and a claimant to an increase of her pension I herewith enclose her renewed declaration by which I perceive she still claims an increase from $40 to $96 - per annum. her husband Daniel Campbell having been pensioned at that rate under the Act of the 18 th of March 1818 and stopped on account of the amount of his property under the act of May 1. 1820. Mrs Campbell, on account of the subsequent poverty of her husband who died in a state of insolvency or whose property had become reduced to less than one hundred dollars as is shown by the testimony on file of Thomas M Dickey the Administrator upon his estate in 1829. nine years after the making his Schedule in July 1820, claims and thinks herself right in so claiming, as in the language of the Act of July 29. 1848 a pension of "Equal amount per annum that her husband would be entitled to under existing laws" And now Sir as the faithful agent of the claimant permit me respectfully to ask if his property had become so reduced, that is to less than $100 at the time of his death, if he was not entitled, and justly entitled to a restoration to the Pension roll under the Act of the 18 th March 1818 and first of May 1820 previous to his death. as I understand he intended to make trial to do, but too long neglected it? It

appears to me that he would. But as this may be a mistaken opinion of mine, permit me further to remark that I cannot but regard the claim of Mrs Campbell as most clear to an increase of her pension to Eighty dollars per annum. her husband having served upwards of two years and as a during the War man as shown by the accompanying proof to wit a certificate copy of her husband's declaration, under the Act of May 1. 1820 together with the certificate of the Secretary of the State of New Hampshire and the proof of identity contained in the deposition of Lemuel Royce who states that Campbell was discharged at the time he was himself, that is in June 1783. - Believing the claim of Mrs C. to be just and honest I cannot but hope the Department will regard her as entitled at the rate of Ninety six dollars per annum

Allow me respectfully to say, as the agent of a very respectable but poor N H Pensioner under the Act of the 29th July 1848 Mrs Ann Campbell, that on the 28 th of March 1853 I enclosed to you an original letter of hers, of which the enclosed is a copy, presuming that in her turn she would be entitled to the information as desired in her said letter, but as no reply or report has as yet been received from the Department I am led to suspect a mis carriage of said letter and am therefore desirous of an examination of the files or entry of letters received, and if to be found, I would pay attention to it and a report in turn, if it has not as yet been reached in turn.

The subscriber would respectfully represent that she as the widow of Daniel Campbell is a N.H. Pensioner of the United States under the Act of the 29th July 1848. That her husband served in the Army of the Revolution upwards of three years; and that for a part and as she thinks one year of his continental service he was placed upon the N.H. Pension List Roll at the rate of 96 Dollars per annum under the Act of the 18th of March 1818 and May 1. 1820. That as she has never been satisfied with the annual amount of Pension granted her under the said Act of the 29th July 1848 she prays that an examination may be made and that it may be reported to her through her Agent John Bryant Esq of Meriden N.H. for what portion of his three years service, her husband the said Daniel Campbell was Pensioned, and also for what part of her husband's service she was first Pensioned at the rate of $40.00 per annum. She respectfully makes this request which she hopes instead of being neglected disregarded, will receive the early attention of the Department.

Department of the Interior,
PENSION OFFICE, April 18, 1851.
The following rules and regulations, approved by the Secretary of the Interior, will be observed in the settlement of pension claims against the Government:
1. An agent or attorney asking to examine papers filed in any pension claim, or for the reconsideration of a claim heretofore adjudicated, must produce a power of attorney giving him the necessary authority to act as agent of the claim, which power of attorney must be acknowledged before a justice of the peace or other person qualified to take acknowledgments or administer oaths, and must be certified under a recognised official seal. The party moreover executing such power must have taken an oath that he or she is directly interested as one of the claimants, and a certificate to that effect must accompany the power.
2. On the presentation of such authority the Commissioner will in his discretion furnish an abstract of the proofs appearing in the papers filed, or permit a personal inspection of such papers.
3. Upon the presentation of the power, as required in the first rule, if it appear that the original party performing the alleged service, or his widow, is the applicant for the reconsideration of a claim heretofore adjudicated, such claim may be re-examined as a matter of right, but there shall not be more than two re-examinations without the production of further material evidence.
4. In other cases than those of the person performing service or his widow, as prescribed in the 3d rule next preceding, no pension case which has been finally adjudicated shall be re-opened, unless on the production of satisfactory proof that the adjudication was erroneous, accompanied by an affidavit of the party applying therefor, showing that such proof has been discovered since the adjudication was made.
5. Appeals may be taken from the decisions of the Commissioner of Pensions within six months from the time the decision is made and communicated to the party or his agent.
6. No application for a rehearing will be entertained after the expiration of two years from the final adjudication of a claim and notice thereof to the applicant or his agent. After that time the party will be left to seek redress by an appeal to Congress.

Meriden N.H. Sept 30. 1831
Sir
By an Office letter under date of the 24 th instant relative to the claim of Ann Campbell of N.H. to an increase of her Pension under the Act of the 29 th July 1830 it seems to be settled that she is not entitled at the rate her husband was allowed under the Act of the 18 th of March 1818. With this decision I shall now advise her to be satisfied, being about convinced myself that it is right, and to accept the offer contained in said letter of an increase for the service of her husband ending Nov. 3 1783 when it seems he was discharged. The admission to which I refer is that "No increase of pension from August 7 1783 to Nov 3 1783 will therefore be granted on the surrender of her present certificate". And here permit me respectfully to suggest that upon a reexamination of the Certificate of the Hon. J. L. Hadley, Secretary of the State of N.H. under date of the 16 th of January 1867 it will be found as previously admitted in said Office letter, that her husband David Campbell enlisted on the 7 th of August 1782. From which time to the 3 rd of Nov 1783 it is presumed that the offer of an increase was intended to be made instead of from the 7 th of August 1783 to the 3 rd of Nov 1783 as reads the letter. If this was an inadvertency, as doubtless it was, and that it was meant that an increase might be allowed for service from the 7 th of August 1782 to the 3 rd of November 1783 I feel authorized to say that it will be accepted. And as Mrs Campbell is yet living the surrender of her present certificate and the issue of an other is desirable before too late for her to realize that justice has been intended and even done her in the premises.

Dear Sir. As intimated to you in mine of the 23 d - instant that I might do, I now address you in behalf of Mrs Ann Campbell widow of Daniel Campbell late a N.W.P. Pensioner of the United States under the Act of the 18 th March 1818. The claim of Mrs Campbell was admitted under my agency on the 29 th of September 1849 under the act of the 29 th July 1848 at the rate of $40 - per annum. With which annual amount, she is not satisfied, as other widows, as she learns, whose husbands were pensioners under said act have been allowed the same as their husbands were in their life time, to wit $96 - per annum. I therefore at her request do herewith transmit to you her certificate praying an increase of her pension from $40 to $96 per annum to which I have to request your early attention, that the old lady may have the satisfaction of realizing the increased amount before it shall be too late with her. Should objection be made by the Commissioner to an increase, on account of the circumstance of her husband having been dropped from the roll on account of the amount of his property, to such objection I would say in reply, that I am informed by an acquaintance of Mr Campbell, that he died poor; and so poor that his estate was insufficient to pay his debts, the Inventory whereof amounting to but $80 - or thereabouts. But perhaps no such objection will be made. The claim you will please present and report to me such decision as may be

made thereon, and in so doing oblige

Washington, October 8 th 1852.
Sir.
We have been requested by Mr John Bryant of Meriden New Hampshire to call up the case of Ann Campbell widow of Daniel, who has been pensioned under the Act of July 29 th 1848.
It appears that her husband Daniel Campbell, was pensioned under the Act of 1818, and stricken therefrom under the Act of 1820. She has been pensioned, first for five years service, and afterwards increased to $49.57/100 for 14 months and 26 days.
Daniel Campbell, alleged that he enlisted (second service) in Capt Cherry's company Col Reids, Reg t , for the war, and was discharged in June 1783. His name is found on Cherry's roll, as having enlisted for the war, and there is an endorsement upon the papers in the handwriting, (I think) of Mr Ames, as follows. "On roll Capt Cherry's company, Reids Reg t to 1783, not on Capt Mc Gregors roll for 1778 and 1779."

According to his statement he must have enlisted in 1779 into Obernys company for the war, and his name is found until 1783, consequently he must have been in service more than two years, if his service under Capt McGregan is disallowed.
But it is well known, that the rolls are imperfect, not only of New Hampshire, but of every other state, and the fact of his statement made in 1818 as 19. of his entire service amounting to several years, when a service of 9. Months was sufficient to place him on the Pension roll, should have great weight in adjudicating the claim for a full allowance of two years.
Very respectfully Evans J. Hunt.

Washington, Feby 16 th 1853.
Rev L. P. Waldo Censor of Pensions. Dear Sir.
We herewith enclose the application of Ann Campbell, widow of Daniel Campbell, for an increase of her pension from $49.64/100 to $80. per annum.
Mrs Campbell has been pensioned under the Act of July 29 th 1848, and upon her application for an increase of her pension, you state in your letter of the 5 th Nov r 1850, that in his declaration for a continuance of his pension under the Act of 1820, he alleged that he entered the service in July 1778, under Capt St. Gregan, and served one year in that company, and after that continued to serve until June 1783. The reason for leaving the service before the war closed was, as he alleged, was that he exchanged with another man and was discharged.
We have now before us a paper, purporting to be a true copy of a certified copy, of his declaration under the Act of May 1 st 1820, certified by Leonard Biscoe, Clerk of Cheshire County, N.H. and dated 5 th Nov. 1850. in which he alleges, that

"that he served in the Revolutionary War as follows. That he enlisted under Capt d David M c Gregor in Col l George Reids Reg t for three years in the month of June 1778, and served in said re- giment one year, at which time he enlisted into Capt s Oberroys, and continued in said Reids regi- ment during the war, and received my discharge in the month of June 1783."
Now here is evidently a mistake somewhere. In addition, we have a brief of the case, which we find in our letter book, in a letter to Mr John Bryant, Meriden New Hampshire, and dated May 19 th 1853.
"Daniel Campbell, enlisted under Capt d M c Gregor, Col l Reids, reg t , for 3 years, in July 1778, served one year, then enlisted re-enlisted in Capt s Oberroys company, same reg t for during the war, and was discharged in June 1783."
"Endorsement as papers" (which from our rec- ollection is in the hand writing of Mr Ames) "On rolls Capt s Oberroys company, Reids Reg t to 1783. not on Capt s M c Gregors rolls for 1778. 1779." He must therefore have served 2 years in Oberroys Co, and for which he asks an increase
The pension certificate is herewith en- closed.
Very respectfully Ebenezer D. Folsom
