Dear Sir —
I wish to establish my record as to Revolutionary ancestors to become a member of the D. A. R. I have a record of an ancestress of mine Mrs. Rachel Campbell widow of David Campbell of Hendham R. H. who drew a pension for five years to the amount of $70 per annum. The paper is

dated Nov. 29 1838 and signed by J. R. Poinsett Sec. of War and J. L. Edwards Com. of Pensions. This paper is recorded in the Pension office in Book A. Vol I page 37 by L. A. Elliott Clerk.
Would you please verify this for me and send the necessary statement for me.
Sincerely Yours -
Mrs. C. H. Griswold

The Honorable Commissioner of Pensions Washington D.C.
Dear Sirs:
In the Census of Pensions, for 1840 of Revolutionary Soldiers I find the name of Reuben Barnes of Litchfield. New Hampshire. S. 12929-
My grandfather lived in Litchfield N. H. and his name was Reuben Barnes.
I have never heard any of my relatives speak of an Uncle Reuben, but they speak of an Uncle Reuben, but their Grandfather, my Great grandfather was Dr. Joseph, who served in 1776. as sur- geon, later he lived with his son Reuben.
Will you kindly tell me the nature of the service and the dates of birth and death of the Pensioner.
I have a pension, original docu-

ment. Recorded in the Pension Office Book A. Vol 1. page 37 b. S.A. Eliot Clerk.
It is made out in favor of "Rachel Campbell of New Hampshire widow of David Campbell who died March 11, 1830."
My great grandmother was a widow of W. file 18,859 cont. mN a David Campbell, who was a New Hamp- shire Revolutionary Soldier. She died intestate and the papers appointing an executor and his receipts have always been in a package with deeds of land held by her husband and the pension paper marked in the hand- writing of the Executor.
I have tried very hard to find through the New Hampshire records the David who had a wife Elizabeth. The pension is made to Rachel. The daughter of David, the Revolutionary Soldier, and Elizabeth was Rachel with whom she lived, for therefore the date on his tombstone is March 11 1830, the date in the Pension paper. If this pension paper

is not mine I very much desire to put it in the hands of the proper person, I should therefore esteem it a very great favor if I might have a transcript of the record on which the pension was given.
David Campbell of Windham ? was shot and made lame which I had been led to think was a ground for securing the pension.
I have often heard my father, who had talked much with his father about his grandfather's war expenses, say he had his grandfather's pension paper.
I have written thus at length because I desire if possible to establish either my right or that of some one else to the document.
Very respectfully yours Jennie Campbell

To the Honorable Commissioner of Pensions, Washington D. C.
Dear Sir, -
I wish to thank you for information given me recently concerning the widow of David Campbell. W. File 18859. Rev. War. May I have the facts concerning his service which were given when he secured the pension for which he made application June 13 1818 and secured Jan. 20 1820. He was a private and enlisted from Windham, New Hampshire. My father told of his being at the Battle of Long Island and that he was saved from being wounded in Cherry Valley.
Rachel Campbell's pension describes her as married at the home of William Dickey, in Londonderry N.H., Oct. 28 1788. I have reason to think she was the daughter of William and Elizabeth Dickey. by the name of William Dickey,
Pensions were granted to two men, of Hillsborough County New Hampshire in 1818. I am anxious to know if either of these applications contained the name of a daughter Rachel or Elizabeth  Dickey as she seems to have sometimes been called. or speaks of a wife Elizabeth. One of these men may be from Windham. The house was near the town line.
Without the aid of the pension department I should have been unable to find much which was right at hand here in the Madison Historical Society library and

I thoroughly appreciate the assistance.
Very respectfully yours Junie Campbell

Madam:
In response to your letter dated the fourteenth instant relative to the claim of David Campbell, W. File No. 18859 Rev. War, you are advised that the facts of his service were furnished you as set forth in his application dated June 13, 1818, alleging only services under Captains Samuel Cherry and Potter, which you will see were subsequent to the Battle of Long Island and massacre at Cherry Valley, and accounts for his not referring to them.
You are further advised, that neither of the Revolutionary War pensioners named William Dickey, could have been the father of David Campbell's wife Rachel or Elizabeth Dickey, because they were her contemporaries and not old enough. She was born July 29, 1762; William Dickey, S. File No. 45729, of Hillsborough Co, N.H., Sergt. $8 per month from April 8, 1818, was seventy-two years of age in 1818, or born about 1746: William Dickey W. File No. 22945, of Hillsborough Co. H.
