Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letters of October 30, and November 25, in which you request photostatic copies of papers on file in Revolutionary War claim for pension, W.4562, based upon service of John Brown who married Lovina Lyon and who died in 1809, in Chenango County, New York.
The number of pages to be copied in the above noted claim is twenty-seven. The cost per page is twenty-five cents, a total of $6.75. The proper amount should be forwarded by money order drawn to the order of the Treasurer of the United States.
It has been noted that Lovina, the widow of said John Brown, married later, one Edward Paine, or Payne, who received a United States pension (S.3625). It might interest you to know that both pension claims will be examined carefully and a report made for you thereon, without charge, which will include service, ages, residence, family data, etc., found recorded in the claims, which, it is believed will suffice instead of photostatic copies, as these official reports have been accepted by various historical and patriotic societies which required the establishment of certain facts.
You requested, also, the record of Jonathan Brown, the father of the above named John. No claim for pension has been identified as based upon service in the Revolutionary War, of that Jonathan Brown.
It is very much regretted that your letter could not have been reached sooner in turn. The demand for Revolutionary data is great and the clerical force available for handling that work is limited.

Herewith please find the papers referred to in your letter of the 28 th Inst. "Levin Paine & Sumner Smith" the entire were found in the office of D. P. Hull Esq r . The certificate he holds in the case of Mrs Paine calls for $31 83 p r Anm which her name is enrolled on the Book here under act 17 th June 1844 at 25 th p r Anm, (as these papers have been so long mislaid the time expires for the power of Attorney to have effect, could it be dispensed with) in this case I have the claim settled if in other respects all is correct.
In the case of Mr Smith the time for power of att y also expires & the Agent Mr Hull contends that a single certificate of the Clerk of the Court was sufficient to prove her claim that certificate has been sent on with vouchers the g d ending 31 st Dec r 1849, one of the Stairs being paid at the time $500 00 under act 7 th July 1838, the two others were refused, not having separate certificates, can they be dispensed with also in this case.

Dear Sir,
I have been greatly embarrassed in the transaction of the business of this Office, by the loss of Mr. Browne, my Clerk, who left me some weeks ago, to accompany his brother to Panama. His going was unexpected to me, and no provision was made to supply his place, until the last moment, when the desk was transferred to a person wholly uninitiated, and who I now find is incompetent & much be changed. Mr. Browne, it seems, has
had that removal in contemplation some months, and has during all that time neglected to keep up the business of the Office, so that I find the papers in great confusion.
I think it proper, and due to myself, to make this explanation. I am now attending to the Office myself, and will see that the Pens. Accts are duly attended to.
In the cases of the children of Lovina Paine, and of Louisa Smith, mentioned in favor of

5th Inst. in which it is alleged that the Warrants have been presented at this office, and have not received attention, I have to reply, that we have made search for these Warrants and do not find them, nor have I any evidence or knowledge of such claims having been presented. Very possibly the Warrants were presented, and returned for informality, as such cases occur daily. I state however distinctly, that I have always practiced, and required of my clerks, the most prompt and courteous attention to Petitioners & their Agents, and have no reason to believe that it has not always been paid them. I will continue the search for the papers alluded to, and report further in a few days.

Sir
I herewith return the pension Certificate in the case of the Children of Mrs Lovina Paine, there appears to be a  be a mistake in the issuing of it, it terminates the 9 th of January 1845, which should of been 1846, the pay allowed is the pay of a private when it should of been the pay of a Sergeant, I believe the Certificate of the Secretary of Massachusetts showed that her husband received £2. per month and also that his capt received in the same list or amount £2. per month. her husband's Sergeant Warrant was forwarded to your office with the other papers in the case. It appears to me that it cannot be considered that the capt was not entitled to more than £2. per month, and if the capt was entitled to the pay of a capt why not Mrs Paine's Husband entitled to the pay of a Sergeant.
Very Respectfully your most O. B. Jewett.

Claim for Military Service.
I certify that, in conformity with the laws of the United States, of the 7th July, 1838, 3rd March, 1843, & 17th June, 1844, Lovina Paine, deceased, late of Ohio, formerly widow of John Brown, who was a Sergeant in the Revolution, and died in 1809, is inscribed on the Pension roll at the increased rate of Thirty One dollars, and Eighty three cents per annum, commencing on the 4th March, 1836, and terminating on the 9th January, 1846, the day on which she died. This pension viz: one of increased pay, between the amounts formerly allowed her, at the rate of $21.21 per annum, for the same period. The difference between the two amounts, is due and payable to her only surviving children, viz: Loren Brown, Hattira Clark, Almina Turner, Charles P. Brown, Amelia Scott and Henry H. Brown.

I return the inclosed Certificate in order that a Certificate may issue to the Children of Mrs Lovina Paine, deceased, as named in said Certificate, so that they may draw the whole amount due them, the first Certificate issued in their favor for $21, 21 was by me returned to your office on account of its being only for the pay of a private when it should of been for that of a sergeant, said Children did not draw under the first certificate it was returned so they could draw the whole at once at the increased rate. It appears by this that they could not receive under this Certificate only the difference between $21, 21 & $31, 83 per annum when they should receive the whole amount of $31, 83 per annum, I hope to receive a return soon.

Sir
I am under the necessity of troubling you again in the case of the Pension of the children of Mrs Lovina Paine, deceased, and pensions of Mrs Jemima Smith, the vouchers in the case of the children of Mrs Paine, were forwarded on the 11 th day of September, last together with the pension certificate issued in favor of said children, to D. P. Hull Esq. of Cincinnati, Ohio for collection and were by him presented to the agent for paying pensions for payment, I was immediately informed, that the agent wanted some instructions from the Department at Washington before paying also in regard to the paying the balance of Mrs Smith's Pension. On receiving Mr Hull's letter, I wrote you under date of Nov r 16 th 49 requesting you to instruct the agent to pay the pensions, in my letter to you I set forth the facts in the case, I received your reply within a few days, saying that the Department could not give any instructions until the papers were laid before the Department. from that time up to the present letters have passed quite often between Mr Hull & myself and the word was that the agent had got no returns from Washington until I received Mr Hull's letter under date of Jan y 5 th 1850 which informed that the vouchers were found in the office of the agent mislaid and had not been sent to Washington for instructions, and the payments not made yet; it is now full five months since the vouchers in the case of the children of Mrs Paine were laid before the agent for payment and no defect pointed out nor payment made; it is quite apparent that there

has been great neglect on the part of the agent for paying Pensions in Cincinnati in these two above stated cases, how can the pension be obtained if the Agent continues to so grossly neglect to properly attend to them when the vouchers are all properly made and duly authenticated as they are (as it is believed) in these cases and the agent does not point out any valid defects only wanted instructions for his own benefit Is  not it right and proper for the Department to inquire into the actions and doing of the agent in these cases, five months is a long time for an agent to ascertain whither he will or not pay a pension on vouchers presented; in these cases the pension were all due and the pension certificates surrendered up, Mr Hull the agent the agent of the pensioners to draw their pensions is a gentleman with whom I have had long acquaint- ance and know him to be a person of high standing in community, he can and would if requested make a statements of the facts in this case, in Mr Hull's last letter to me under date of Febry 9 th 1850, informs me that it was alleged by the clerk in the Agency office that the whole amount of Mrs Jennima Smiths pension was paid when it was only part paid, I do not wish to trouble the Department with any unreasonable complaints, but in this case I believed it to be my duty to call this matter up before the Department believing that the department desired to have their agents attend strictly to their duty not to put pensioners to unnecessary and un- =necessary trouble.

Application for Revolutionary service made by a son of the party who rendered the service Battle Creek, Michigan. The Secretary of Massachusetts is hereby requested to furnish from the Records of his office of the Revolutionary service of my father John Brown, he went into said service from Brimfield (now in Hampden County) Mass, in the year 1775, he went to Roxbury, in Col Shepheards Regt he helped to fortify Dorchester heights and went to New York under Col Shephears and was there when the British drove out the American army, he was in the Battle of White Plains he was in the Battle of Trenton & Princeton in New Jersey under Capt Parks. Capt Parks was with the army before they left Boston for New York but I am not certain about my fathers being in Capt Parks company before they left Boston but is not before he was afterward joined to Capt Parks company he was in battle at Saratoga in 1777, at the taking of Burgoyne, he enlisted in 1778 in Capt John Carters company and Col Ezra Woods Regt for 8 months and was promoted to first sergeant when at camp at Woodbury Novr 15 th 1778, after said 8 months time I think he enlisted for one year and after said years service he volunteered for three months and served his time out and afterwards was in the team service, served in all over five years the above is what I have heard my said father and my mother relate. I have seen his Sargants warrant, I am 60 years of age

And the within named Lorin Brown further says that he remembers of hearing his Father and Benjamin Lumbard talk of said Lumbard being in the same Company with his Father. He has also heard Sadock Mitchell and his Father often talk of being in the service together and of being in battle in 1776 in New Jersey he thinks Calvin and Luther Danielson were in the army with his Father and he thinks in the same Company Joseph Russell who lived in Albany N.Y. in 1810 was also at New York with him. Henry Abbott was also with his Father in New York. All the above named persons were of Brimfield Mass. Capt John Carpenter mentioned in the Warrant also resided in Brimfield since the said Lorin Brown was grown up to manhood - Col Aaron Burr and Gen Putnam were also at New York when his Father was - Abbott he thinks was in the same Company with his Father.
