The Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Byington:-
I return your letter of Nov. 12th (Widow Division) in re Jonathan Cass and two extracts from Muskingum County (Ohio) Histories sent me by Miss M. J. Roe of Gilbert, Ohio. She says these are the sum total of her data.
Miss Roe is a member of the D. A. R. and states that when in Washington at the Congress of the D. A. R. 1918 she spent considerable time in the Pension Office and there saw a record of Jonathan Cass giving his residence Dresden, Ohio.
Miss Roe is Chairman of a committee locating the graves and making a record of the services of Revolutionary Soldiers.
She is doing a splendid work and I hope your office will be able to assist in establishing the record of Jonathan Cass, father of Lewis Cass, Governor of Michigan and at one time a member of the Cabinet.
Thanking you, I am,
Yours very truly,
W. H. Cox
P. S.
If consistent will you please return the two historical sheets as they belong to Miss Roe's files.
