Charles Thompson, Esq. Colerain, Massachusetts.

War Department, Pension Office, November 21. 1829
Sir,
The papers in the case of Aaron Gay, which you sent to this Office, have been examined, and placed on our files. The conveyance of some of his property to Susannah Gay is a circumstance calculated to excite strong suspicion as to the fairness of the transactions by which the claimant reduced his property; and the evidence exhibited is not sufficient to remove the objection arising from that cause. The pension cannot therefore be renewed.
I am respectfully, Your Obet. Servt. James L. Edwards
Charles Thompson, Esq. Colerain, Massachusetts

War Department Pension Office, September 16, 1829.
Sir,
The papers which you sent to this Department in order to get the name of Aaron Gary continued on the Pension List, have been examined, and they are herewith returned. The claimant states that he sold thirty acres of land to Hannah Gary for one hundred dollars and exhibits a copy of the deed which he gave to her; but from this copy, it would appear that he conveyed to her upwards of one hundred and twenty acres. This discrepancy must be satisfactorily explained, and a more particular and satisfactory statement of all the facts in relation to this transaction must be given by the parties concerned. The transfer of Gary's property to his daughter has a very unfavorable appearance; and unless the suspicions arising from this transaction can be removed by shewing that the sale was in all respects bona fide, Gary cannot be again placed on the pension list.
I am, respectfully Your Obedt. Servt. James L. Edwards Charles Thompson Esqr Colerain Franklin County, Mass.
