Sir
Sergeant Israel Cone - The present applicant I have known from my youth. His services are established by his discharge from his Excellency the Commander in Chief now inclosed. In addition to which I can say from perfect recollection that he entered the army of the Revolution in the year 1775. enlisted again at the close of that Campaign into the first Continental army raised for one year. at the close of which he enlisted into the continental army on the General Establishment, and continued untill the close of the war. As to his circumstances I cannot particularly say. He never had much property. From industry and great economy, he has had & I understand still has a small portion of property. but from his age - and the particular state of his family, I have no doubt he is or soon will be in circumstances to need the assistance of his country for support. When I say 'the unfortunate state of his family' I ought to explain. He had for many years a Daughter in a State of distraction - now dead - and a crippled - helpless son still surviving -  { Juvenal Brainerd } { Judge of Sup Court } { State of Connecticut } October 28. 1818 -

East Lyme, (Chesterfield) June 7 th 1851.
Mr Waldo, Sir, My object in addressing you, is, to ascertain if the Pension which my Father was justly entitled to, cannot be given to his children, My Father, whose name was Israel Gane, was a revolutionary soldier, and served in the Army during the war, In the year 1776 he was Stationed in Rochester near Boston, he was then Orderly serjeant, and Clerk of a Regiment, and afterwards Commissary to the close of the war, I have a book in which he then recorded the general orders of a Regiment during that year, When the first Act was passed granting Pensions, he did not apply for a Pension immediately, but afterwards applied and drew ninety-six dollars, which was for one year only, and that is all that he ever received for eight years services, while many others who served no more than one year have received thousands. I know not how long the first Act was in force, but you know, and on examining the records

you can ascertain what my father was entitled too, at ninety-six dollars per year, this, I think you will not hesitate to allow and send us, as it was his just due during his lifetime. After the first Act was repealed and a little previous to the passage of the present Act my father died at the age of 75 years. Now Sir, can you consider us any on account of the present Act, if so it will be gratefully received, even a small sum would be of great benefit to us, if any one merited a Pension I think my father did. I am, by occupation, a farmer and have to labor for a livelihood, and about sixteen years since I became a widow in one hand for life, and if you will send us a little of Uncle Sams money, the hard earnings of my father, it will be very acceptable. I reside in Chesterfield, New London county at about a mile from Nicholas Latimer Dr. Now, Sir, I wish you to answer this, whether you send any money or not, so that I may have your views on the subject. Erastus Cone P.S. please to direct to me in Chesterfield New London County, Connecticut,

Senate Chamber June 8/58 -
Sir,
