Sir:
Samuel Dean, a private in the Revolution, and a colonel of a militia regiment at Stamford, Fairfield County, Conn, in the theWar of 1812, is reported to have been a government pensioner. He died about 1840 at Stamford, Conn. Do the record of his pension give the name of his wife, and if so what was the name? Did she draw a pension?
Peter Pence, a soldier in Capt. Lowdon's Company, Thompson's Regiment of Riflemen from Pennsylvania in 1775, died either in 1812 or 1827. Is his name on the U. S. Pension Rolls, and if so give me the date of his death and the name of his widow, if mentioned?
Yours very truly,

Reg WIDOW, &c.

To whom it may concern, I do hereby certify that I have been acquainted with Samuel Dean of Stamford aforesaid for a number of years and have been called upon by him for council and assistance in an eruptive inflammation of his right leg for three or four years past. The inflammation commences in the first part of summer and continues through the hot season raging to such a degree as almost totally to confine him especially from but very little labor the inflammation has appeared to increase much within the last three years, he is also laboring under another bodily infirmity viz. a kind of Rheumatic affection of his left hand and arm, there there is an entire distortion of two fingers of the hand and a loss of muscular motion so far that it is impossible for him to grasp any thing with firmness. This affection in my opinion can never be removed.

Dear Sir -
Col. Saml. Dean, the bearer has heretofore been placed on the list of Revolutionary Pension - as made out his schedule, under the last act of Congress agreeable to its provisions, but was stricken off the list on the ground of holding too much property - At the time Col. Dean made his schedule he had an equity of redemption in a Farm of land which he had mortgaged to Jos. Gray & others, & some stock, since that the whole has been taken from him by legal process for the payment of debts previously contracted - We state with great confidence that Col. Dean is Poor - That he has disposed of none of his property with a view of bringing himself within the Provisions of the act of Congress & that from his reduced circumstances he is justly entitled to a Pension -
Col. Dean wishes you to see Secretary Calhoun & learn what further can be done in his case He will call on you with this

This being a business letter, you will excuse me for saying very little, but about the business in hand — Col. Dean (whos papers are enclosed) says he must have his Pension — he has sent you by this days mail a dozen copies of attachments, to be carried to the Pension Office to prove his Poverty — This was altogether useless, as he is evidently unable to pay his debts, which I presume is as well known to you as myself — He has settled a part of the debts he owed when you left here but is still indebted to a much larger amount than the value of his Property & some of the attaching creditors must fail getting their debts — I have inclosed the appraisal of his property for you to present at the Pension Office I believe it is made agreeably to the directions in Mr. Edwards' letter which you forwarded Sincerely Yours
