Chas. W. Houghton CLERK.

To the Hon. J. L. Edwards Esq. Commissioner of Pensions,
Sir,
The undersigned asks leave to make the following statement, relative to the case of Mary Balame, W o of David Balame, a Revolution and Pensioner, late of Douglas Ms. deceased. Her application for a Pension is now on file in your Office.
When we executed that application, we had no Documentary evidence relative to the services of her husband, and depended entirely on her recollection as to the time of those services. She had the impression on her mind that her husband was out in the service one term after their marriage; but we are satisfied now that she was mistaken. — We presume that she made no distinction between the close of her husband's services and the close of the War. We are satisfied now that the copy of his services in your Office is correct and that her claims cannot be allowed under the Act of 1836. We never have had any thought of asking for a Pension for any more services than was specified in his declaration, and the reason why we specified the Act of 1836, was, we supposed she must do so, if her recollection was correct. Therefore we now ask for her the same amount of Pension which her husband received, semi-annually, and to commence at the day of his death, — or at the time of his receiving his last pension, — Vis. Sept. 21. 1844.
As she was married after the close of his services and before Jan. 1 st 1794 her claim for a Pension is provided for in the subsequent acts of Congress, and we hope you will excuse any informality in the case, and, if we can satisfy you as to their marriage, you will allow her claimed grant for a pension. As to the evidence of their marriage we have made diligent search, and you will see by the accompanying Certificate of the Town Clerk of Douglas, that they were published, according to law, — but there is no Parish Record of their marriage and I have made search in the Town Clerk's Office in Thompson, formerly Wilkingsly St. and find no record there of marriage so far back as 1790. But in searching for a family record I have been more successful. In searching the Deeds of my Father in law David Balame deceased, I found

a family Record, containing an account of their Marriage, and I believe in his own hand writing. My Mother in law Mary Hulbarn is very old and feeble blind and paralytic and is incapable of managing her own business and has given me a Power of Attorney to act for her. This has thrown all of his papers, and the family record among the rest, into my possession. And we now send it with the other papers on the best Documentary evidence of the marriage which we can obtain before it will be satisfactory.

J. L. Edmunds Esq. Sir
In compliance with the wishes of Mr. May Balcamme, I here inforce to you the result of an examination of the Rolls in the Secretary's Office, relative to the services of David Balcamme deceased, as a Soldier in the War of the Revolution.
It seems that the first term of service, alleged to have been performed by Mr. Balcamme Vis. 7 Months at Boston and Nantasket Port is not found upon the Roll of Capt Jonathan Larroca - This to us is mysterious. We have not the least doubt but what he enlisted and performed the service; it might be under some other officer - We have however not additional testimony - the Soldiers who were in that term of service, & lived in this vicinity, are now dead. You have the testimony of David White who also served at the same time - And he is dead. The Widow wishes to submit the case to the candour and decision of the War Department, hoping that upon a reexamination of her claims, you will be cause to grant her petition.
Yours with due respect.
David Holman
N.B. If you be cause to grant her a pension certificate, please send it to the Post Master at Douglas Ms.
