Act 1828 settled at Treasury Cons. with Invalid file # 39.428

Castleton in Rutland County, Vermont July 12 th 1825
Hon d Sir.
The Captains of Companies were so often shifted towards the close of the Revolution war; I cannot now recollect who did command the Company at the time I was discharged: But I think Richard
I well remember going to our Regimental Paymasters residence in Sharon, in Connecticut, at least about two years after I was discharged, to get some kind of securities due to me; I think it was about $33 for arrearages of rations (vulgarly called "pinch gut") but the P.M. was not at home the first time, and the last time he had removed to Vermont
I had left word, that in order to settle his accounts at the Treasury department; all securities, Moneys &c, that had not been called for, and receipted, was returned to Government, and I must call there, which I was not able to do, and the securities at that time was of so inconsiderable value, that I never got them.
I send you inclosed, an ancient Petition, and the testimonials thereto annexed, as evidence of my identity, and that it is not a new Idea to me, that I am entitled to some relief from Government.
I did obtain a Pension under the first act; since which I have been kept up by the filial assistance of my son in Detroit, who inherits too much of my native pride to suffer me to make so full an exposition of my true situation as was required in the regulation of the second Act.
I have now a family of, a sick wife; one son entirely blind; and two daughters unmarried; and am not able to labour. If I shall receive evidence of my title to the benefits of the late Act;
Esq d Temple, President of the Rutland Bank & Pension agent for Vermont will advance me the money and take my power of Att y to receive the Money of Government.

Dear Sir, I am the daughter of the late Jonathan Deming of this Town, who died & I think on the 16 th day of April 1836. At the time my father died he was receiving a pension or (I believe it was called a compensation), for property depreciated, at the rate of one hundred & twenty dollars per annum. I think he was an orderly sergeant in the Revolution & was a during the War man. He left a widow, but not being his first wife she had no right to his Pension. She died not long after my father. No pension or Bounty land has been received since his death by any of the children. The names of all the children who now survive are as follows to wit Hannah Child widow of Rodolphes R Child of this Town John Deming of Indiana, Jane M Palmer wife of John Palmer of Detroit, Mary E Davis wife of John Davis of Troy N.Y. & Lucia Geiswald (a widow), of Michigan.
If you will please to examine the Rolls & papers at Washington & see if my father was not entitled to more Pension, or to a pension if so, take all honorable & lawful means to obtain the same, at the same terms you do such business for D. H. Kellogg of Pittsfield. I shall be glad to have you do so. I will further state that I am quite confident that my father's compensation of 120. Dollars per year was not obtained on proof of service, (although he did serve through the whole time of the war) but it was for

compensation of the depreciation of Continental money he put into the loan office. One One reason for this belief is that my father was possessed of property, too much to entitle him to a pension, at the time he first received it But you can ascertain how it is by examination. Yours most respectfully
