Dear Sir. I wrote to you about 12 months ago to know how my Business stood at that time, & I recd your polite answer immediately, stating that you had forwarded the papers to Mr Gump to have the credibility of the witnesses established, and that you wished to have the names of the officers whom my husband served under, with Sir. I got a Friend to write to Annapolis, and had the records searched and found the names of the Colonel, but the particular Captain the records do not show I was about then to have the depositions taken a new (as the Honorable Daniel Gump never sent the papers to me) when I recd a letter from a Friend in Washington saying that the business had been laid before Congress, and that the Committee had made a favorable report and the writer said he had not the smallest doubt of its final passage, will Congress adjourn without any action on it, I was then told it would be taken up and passed, when

when Confis met in December, consequently I thought it was useless -any to do any thing further in the matter until Confis acted on it - I was told the Bill passed the House of Representatives, & the Senate made an adverse report on it in Jan y . and then, after further testimony was produced, the Senate made another report, and the Globe of March the 6 th says it was passed at the close of the session, my object in writing to you is to know the truth of the matter, whether it is allowed or not, and if it is allowed who pays it, and what form an order can be given to draw it, and if it is still undecided please sir give me as plain directions as you can how to proceed, for I am not able to go to a lawyer and my friends are men of only common education - I have been confined the whole of the winter, with a doctor attending me, with a gather- -ing on my hand, that causes me at times great pain, it is some better at this time - your compliance will

Mr. MATHEWS, from the Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, made the following
REPORT:
The Committee on Revolutionary Pensions, to whom was referred the petition of Elizabeth Dawkins, widow of Charles Dawkins, deceased, a soldier in the revolutionary army, have had the subject under consideration, and report :
That it appears by the muster rolls of the Revolution, in the Maryland pension office, that Charles Dawkins enlisted, as a sergeant in the 1st Maryland Regiment, on the 25th day of April, 1778, for the term of three years; and it also appears by the pay roll kept in said office that the said Charles Dawkins was discharged on the 5th day of April, 1781. It is proven, by the evidence of James D. Denton, that Elizabeth Dawkins, now widow of the said Charles Dawkins, and the said Charles, were married on or before the year 1790. The committee are therefore of opinion that the said Elizabeth Dawkins is entitled to a pension, under the provisions of the act of July 7, 1838, for the services of her husband two years as a sergeant, and report a bill accordingly.

Mr. BATES submitted the following
REPORT :
The Committee on Pensions, to whom was referred the House bill for the relief of Elizabeth Dawkins, report :
The petitioner claims a pension as the widow of Charles Dawkins, a soldier in the Maryland line of the army of the Revolution. The evidence of service is sufficient, but the evidence of the identity of the soldier and the husband of Mrs. Dawkins is not ; nor is the evidence of the time of marriage, if of the marriage itself, sufficient. Independent of the very summary statement of Mrs. Dawkins, there is no evidence much to be relied upon. J. D. Denton says she was married to Charles Dawkins before 1790 ; he does not state when, nor by whom, nor that she was married to Charles Dawkins whose service is proved. Denton himself in 1790 was but seven or eight years of age. If, as the widow of the soldier in the Maryland line, Mrs. Dawkins is entitled to a pension, no reason is assigned, and no reason seems to exist, why she may not obtain it without the intervention of an act of Congress. Wherefore,
Resolved , That the bill be indefinitely postponed.

Sir
You will find enclosed a certificate of G. G. Brown Esq. and also a certificate from the clerk of Calvert Co. Court respecting the case of Mrs. Dawkins. It seems from examining the records of Calvert Co. court that they were no record kept of marriage license at the time that Mrs. Dawkins was married, or if there was, they have it has been lost, as to the fact of her being the widow of Charles Dawkins deceased there can be no doubt for she has now living a daughter that is from forty eight to fifty years of age and recollects her father Charles Dawkins' will, and moreover she can prove by several respectable persons that she was married to her husband Charles Dawkins deceased before the year 1794. If there should be wanting any more proof in this case, you will please let me know as soon as convenient and oblige
Respectfully Yours Gnab Parker

This deponent deposith and saith, that, she is in the seventy fourth year of her age. That she was married in the year seventeen hundred and ninety one. That she was intimately acquainted with Sergeant Charles Donkins of Calvert County who enlisted in the Maryland line and served several years in the war. That the said Charles Donkins was married with Elizabeth Clear sometime previous to seventeen hundred and ninety one. The time of my own marriage, as I distinctly recollect that they had several children before my marriage. I also well know, that the petitioner Elizabeth Donkins is the widow of Charles Donkins who served in the Revolution and who died about eighteen years after his marriage leaving four children and I heard (having proximity to his death) that he was buried with the honor of war.

Dear Sir, -
In order to give a precise knowledge of the present state of the case of Mrs Dawkins, I enclose to you a copy of an unfavorable report, recently made to the Senate, in her case. I received your letter of the 16 th yesterday.
I would suggest that Mrs Dawkins, or some agent or friend, immediately take this report to Mr Edwards, the Commissioner of Pensions, here, and beg of him to see, whether, upon the facts alleged by her as to her claim & marriage, if the facts can be supported before him, on an application for a pension by the usual proof (& statutory proof) what kind of evidence she can offer before him) the pension can be established without an act of Congress.
The present act may be postponed indefinitely or not, according to the future evidence offered here. But, not belonging to the Committee on Pensions, in the Senate, it is not in my power to do more for her now.
The evidence of service is admitted to be sufficient, but, as you may perceive, the identity of the soldier and the husband of Mrs Dawkins is not, in the opinion of the Committee. Death is stated as a witness too young etc. If the evidence of the identity of the soldier her husband having been the soldier entitled, he can be so easily obtained, why not immediately procure affidavits properly authenticated & forward them to the Committee on Pensions or the Senate. But, pray let Mrs Dawkins get some friend to attend to her case & to the taking the additional evidence which I have suggested.
Being very much engaged I venture to send you this scrawl for the Senate Chamber to prevent any loss of time by my delay. In great haste, I am with great respect, John Sedgwick

I am between sixty-six and sixty-seven years old, I was present at the wedding of Charles Dawkins and Elizabeth Dawkins and saw them married, This was either in seventeen hundred and eighty eight (1788) or seventeen hundred and eighty nine (1789), They were married by the Revd John Gantt a clergyman of the Protestant Episcopal Church, I am sure the Charles Dawkins whom I saw married to Elizabeth Dawkins (who is now living in Cecil County and State of Maryland) was the identical Charles Dawkins who was an officer in the war of the Revolution,

Mr Edwards,
I made an adverse report on the claim of Elizabeth Downkins. It has been re-considered with additional evidence. So the records in my office show why she ought not to have a pension, as can she obtain it without the intervention of Cong s .

D. G. I send my son in to hear of your customary or decision in relation to Mrs. Dawkins. sincerely hoping that Mrs. D's property may be such as to entitle her to that relief which her age imperatively demands circumstances require. If however the character of the property are such as to require amendment it can I think be easily amended. Mrs. Dawkins lives in the lower end of Calhoun County a very natural place where the forms of business are better attended to and the property more likely without knowing what was required. Mrs. Cook I believe can prove if not already from the time of Sergeant Dawkins death. The old man who lent the down at his funeral is still alive. Sergeant Dawkins was in Col. Williams regiment and was first in the battle then the southern army. If there should be any information please inform me and I will have it supplied as practicable without delay. Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Wale I know are highly respectable old ladies. Major Takeferro and Hearn thought their papers entitled her to relief. With entire con- fidence that you will do every thing you can con- sistently with your sense of public duty to award justice to this meritorious old lady.
I am very truly your friend A. L. Keeby
