Sir Gentlemen,
The declaration of James Case as the representative of his Mother Lydia Case who claims a pension under the act of 4 July 1836, as the Widow of James Case, has been examined and filed.
No term of service, with the names of the Company and field officers under whom it was performed, has been set forth agreeably to the Rules. Nor is there any evidence whatever that James Case was in service during the Revolution . Claimant should make a new declaration in conformity to the enclosed printed instruction, and establish the service by the Certificate of the Comptroller of Connecticut in whose possession of the revolutionary records of that State.
The date of the Marriage should be established by the Certificate of the Town Clerk of Simsbury. The paper purporting to be a family record does not bear the incontestable evidences of age to make it available as proof in this case.
