Dr Sir, Several Weeks since I forwarded to the War Department the application of Catharine Cables the W. dow of Lehub- -on Cables for a pension.
She supposed herself entitled to a pen- -sion under the law passed in 1836 I believe granting pensions to the widows of Revolutionary soldiers. Not having heard any thing from these papers I am fearful that they have never reach- -ed the department.
Have the goodness to inform me if you received them and what if so what was the result of the application.

Sir,
In a letter from the Department of Octo. 15/40. I was informed that the application of Catherine Cables Widow of Gebulon Cables for a pension under the Act of July 4 th 1836 could not be allowed without more proof. showing that the Marriage took place before the period of the Act. Service of the said Gebulon Cables began to despair of being able to obtain the necessary proof on account of the indistinctness of the Recollection of the applicant. And the great lapse of time that had intervened. But I resolved to make one more effort which I am happy to think has resulted in success. Enclosed is record proof of the Marriage, in 1773 which I suppose to be sufficient if it is not please inform me as soon as convenient. And if the pension should be allowed now have the goodness also to send me the necessary form for drawing it.
Very Respectfully Yours etc. etc.

Enclosed is the Declaration of Catherine Cables widow of Bebulon Cables Deceased under the act of July 7 th 1838 as it is I believe informal as to the time when the marriage took place and I believe not otherwise
In a letter from the Department of the 18 th June last I am informed that the papers on file are sufficient to prove that the marriage took place prior to 1794 and that a pension may be allowed if the claimant make her application under this act. it will be seen that the first papers were made out in Norton Medina Co. and this in Summit Co. Norton is now set to Summit a new County. I hope that there is nothing to prevent a pension being allowed for the old Lady certainly deserved one. And I am satisfied that she is entitled to one. If there is anything wrong as set. have the goodness to inform me immediately as the days of the applicant are few in this world. If the Pension is allowed please send me the necessary form.

Peter Beckler the son of this deponent, aged twenty one years in November next, continues to reside with his parents: - And it is to his labor, prudence, care, good management and charitable expenses principally that this deponent is indebted for support; and therefore, once more implores the assistance of his country.

Charles Douglas
Isaac Tarnam
"By his Atty. Chas Douglas"
That in entering into the aforesaid contract with the said Tarnam and Douglas this deponent was influenced only by a wish to render his support more certain and if possible to secure to his almost helpless wife some assistance and support in case she should survive him, though at the time he well knew he had no other means of fulfilling his said contract, but from his pension. That after the fourth of March one thousand eight hundred and twenty this deponent received from the proper agent about one hundred and seventy six dollars, the amount then due, and immediately paid over to the said Douglas and Tarnam one hundred and fifty dollars of the same money, the first installment due on said contract, but has not had the means of making any other or further payments on said contract since the suspension of his pension. The family of this declarant is the same as at the time of making his aforesaid declaration before the Court of Common Pleas. Peter Cackler the son of this deponent mentioned in the aforesaid declaration, had his

leg broken in April last was confined a long time, is now able to walk about, but the leg that was broken is shorter than formerly.

Sir I herewith enclose and  the  enclosed  enclosure of Christian Becklin a Revolutionary soldier. His first depon- tion taken before the court of Common Pleas (refused to in the inclosure) was certified to the War Department; and was return- ed with a request that the deponent would state by what title he held the lands on which he resided. At the sitting of the Supreme Court then next ensuing he set forth at length the entirety of agreement under which he held which was only certified and forwarded to the War Department.
No intelligence having since been received of the fate of his application it is thought probable that the papers have miscarried, or are mislaid.
The wound lately received has so far disabled him as to render him indeed an object of charity: And he is again induced to apply for the assistance of his country.
Of the documents attached to above, have miscarried - it is earnestly requested that information thereof may be given and other copies shall be forwarded
