Sir, William Brown of Caroline County Virginia, having made application for a pension, under the act of the last session of Congress and having heard that his claim has been rejected, I do hereby certify that the said William Brown resided not far distant from my place of residence in Caroline - that I was acquainted with him for many years, and that he served more than nine months in the Virginia line, on continental establishment during the Revolutionary War. No militiaman could be compelled to serve out of the State - and said Brown did serve in the Northern army in Col. Haws Regiment as will appear by his declaration. My certificate which will accom- pany this, will shew that said Brown is a very poor man - Very respectfully Sir, Y r ob t servt. Anthony New

Ans w 10 March 1879

Sir,
I re-enclose you the pension certificate of your Brother which entitles him to pay only from February last, whereas his Declaration was made in July, so that if entitled to be paid at all, he should be paid from that time. I presume the original Declaration is filed with the last Will shew this. If it is not, proof can be had from the clerk's office at this place & forwarded. I wish to hear as speedily as possible from you on the subject of the other claims. Aaron Wall has been long in the office.

John Cheetham's was returned by me corrected & of course, will be acted on immediately. Please to direct to me at Lloyd, Essex County, Virginia.
Very respectfully yr servt Robert S. Garnett.

James L. Edwards

Sir
I herewith re-enclose you the declaration of William Brown with a letter from Col Veto to the Secretary at war which, I thought it would be as well, to send immediately to you. It states what you will find upon examination to be the fact that the militia could not be compelled to serve out of the State. Brown is very infirm & his memory has in a good measure failed him, to which may be attributed his impression that he was " drafted ."
I remain Sir very respectfully yr Servt A. S. Barnett
