Pension Department, Washington, D. C.: Dear Sirs,--Daniel Cool- breth, a native of Buxton, Me., was a soldier in the War of 1812. His widow was a pensioner, and perhaps he had previously been a pensioner. Maine was a part of Massachusetts at the time of the War of 1812, and I think that he served in the Massachusetts forces. Was he a pen- sioner? If so, please give me what genealogical matter you have in your records concerning him. His widow passed her last years with her daughter, Mrs. Nancy Lucas, Hartford, Me.
Very truly yours,
C. W. Lewis.

Sir Gent.
In reply to your enquiry respecting the case of Elizabeth Colbrooth, of Maine, I have to inform you that her claim was examined on the 11 th of June 1839 and rejected, for reasons assigned in a letter of that date to Mr. E. Blake, a copy of which is herewith enclosed.
The letter of the Administrator of William Cunningham dec d was received here on the 11 th ulto. but as there was no letter or memorandum accompanying it, we were unable to determine by whom it was sent. Copies of the papers in the case cannot be furnished, as the originals are not on our file. The claim was examined at the Treasury Department in the year 1833, and rejected, and I am now unable to say whether the papers were returned to the agent, or what became of them. Messrs. A & D. E. Kendall Present.

I have examined the claim of Mrs Elizabeth Colbrought, widow of Daniel Colbrough, decd, and have placed her paper upon our files. Mr Colbrough was mustered under the Act of March 18. 1818 for 12 mos service in Col Shenny, Regt. at that time he mentioned no other, or subsequent service. The widow having asserted, a further service from 1777 to 1779 in the Mass line, has lead to an examination of the rolls, which show that Daniel Colbrough, enlisted on the 27 March 1777 for 3 yrs in Capt Donnellys Co & Col. Brewer, Regt, and that he deserted April 1. 1779. The widow claims, therefor a right to it. - Yours Truly July 7 1838 4669 OC

Hon J. L. Edwards,
Dear Sir at the request of Mrs. Elizabeth Goodwin of Hartford County of Oxford, Maine I take the liberty to address you in her behalf at this time Whereas in 1853 your Honor granted the said Elizabeth a pension certificate for the sum of forty dollars per year on account of her husband Daniel Goodwin a soldier who was placed on the pension list October 30 th 1826 at the rate of sixty six dollars per year, and whereas many persons of information in the case of pensions have informed her that her pension certificate is only the one half of what she is entitled to receive and that there must have been a mistake made in the one granted to her. Her request to you is that if there is a mistake that your Honor will make out and send a pension certificate to me for her of what mistake you may find and if there is no mistake will you have the goodness to state the case in so plain a manner that I can satisfy Mrs. Goodwin respecting the business as I was her agent that obtained her 40 th certificate. She thinks strange that it was not 80 per year the same as the widows of those soldiers who drew 80 per year. As it regards the pension case of Abigail Perkins, Abigail Perkins the reason her case was disallowed by the name of Abigail Perkins has not yet been sent to your department that at our last probate court she was sick and could not be got into court and shortly after the commission of the Hon Samuel M. panel as judge expired and since the appointment of Perkins Dyer, as judge of probate there has been no probate court that she could be called to but if she should be living the next court her disallowance will be taken and sent to you for investigation &c.

Dear S. Barbour.
Sir. At the request of Daniel Coolbroth, I enclose to the War Department such evidence to substantiate his claim to a pension, as by letter from the Pension Office of the 14 th May last was required — No formal schedule of his household effects is made out, they hardly coming under the description of furniture. Being all of them, except his bedding, a few rough articles made by himself & unquestionably within the value named by him —
An answer to this application as soon as the pressure of business will permit, will confer a favor on Mr Coolbroth & oblige,
with very great respect, your humble Servt.

Paris, Maine, Oct. 20, 1826
hi, your letter of the 11 th of last August, addressed to the Hon. John Anderson, together with application of Daniel Goodbroth for a pension, are now in my hands, from which it seems nothing further was required at the Pension office to establish his claim, than that the declaration should be made in this county where the applicant resides - this has been done, as you will perceive, by the declaration herewith enclosed, made in the Sup. Jud. Court of the State of Maine, in Oxford County. The proof of service &c, the declarant avers, is now in the pension office & without that proof he could not satisfy the Court that he did serve &c in the revolutionary war, but satisfactory proof of that fact was made to the Court of Common Pleas in Cumberland County as appears by the certificate of the Clerk of that County, which I herewith return to you. Please direct your answer to this application to me, at this place.

Dear Sir,
I have inclosed to you the Declaration of Betsey Coolbroth of Oxford County in this State, together with the certificate of her marriage and the dispositions of two persons to identify her to be the widow of Daniel Coolbroth, a revolutionary Pensioner, deceased - after you have examined her case you will please write me.
I have received by the mail of the 4th. inst. a Pension certificate in favor of Lydia Hilton, widow of Merrill Hilton, dated June 27 and recorded in Book A. Vol. 1 page 12 for forty dollars per annum. Now Sir, as I think there must be a mistake in the filling up the certificate as Merrill Hilton in his life time, according to the Pension Roll of Maine page 48, received Ninety Six dollars per annum and as I have invariably heretofore received for widows eighty dollars per year where their husbands drew Ninety Six - Will you have the goodness to examine the case, and if there is a mistake you will please have the goodness to correct it - If no mistake please explain, so that I may be able to satisfy the widow that there is no more belonging to her of the 5 year pension - as she has expected a pension of $80. per ann for 5 yrs & a like sum for one year more, the last payable in September and March next -
I last mail sent you the Declaration of Phoebe Reinick which you have probably recd - it was for a one year pension - There is also in your office, not yet heard from the Declaration of Lydia Baker , Anna Smith , Abigail Hammond , all for the one year pension - I cannot account for not having heard from Mrs. Baker as it was sent some months since - Of the above, with the Declarations
Ans. Aug. 30. 1843

of Ebenezer Wells, John Standley & Gennett Mayo have arrived safe, please to state, in your next letter — An early answer respecting the supposed mistake is respectfully requested.
