We are sisters - our maiden name was Bonna, - daughters of John Bonna Esq. now decd. formerly living in Chatham Essex County on the Raritan river. Joanna Day, the widow of Moses Day, decd. now an applicant for a pension, is our sister, younger than Nancy Day, & older than Eleanor Ward.
Our sister, the said Joanna, now the widow of Moses Day, was married to said Moses Day at our father's residence, in Essex County, N. Jersey, by Reverend Alexander Millar, then Minister of the Presbyterian Church & Congregation in Bottle-hill, Morris Co. now called "Madison", on the 12 th day of January, in the year of our Lord, 1785. We were both of us, eye witnesses & ear witnesses of the marriage cere- -mony. They had a family of 7 sons, & 3 daughters, born in Woodstock. We have both lived within one mile of Moses Day & his family during a period of 50 years, & until his death. He, the said Moses Day, was a pensioner of the United States, on account of his revolutionary services, at the time of his death, which took place at his dwelling in Chatham, on the 12 th day of September in the year of our Lord 1822, & she, the said Joanna Day, remains his widow to this present time. -

Dear Sir,
Joanna Day, a pensioner under the Act of July 36, died in this County on the 23 d May 48. leaving 6 children & no more, viz: Matthias - who has lived in Mansfield Ohio, during the last 30 years, where he now resides - Sylvanus, in N. Orleans for 4 years - Benjamin, in Ohio for 12 years - Nancy in Newark N. Jersey - Emilias in Ohio - & Jennet, in this County, with whom the Mother has lived during the last 10 or 20 years of her life. In all 4 sons, & 2 daughters.
She left nothing but her clothing & the arrears of her pension, since the March payment - of course - she has no Executor nor Admt.
The husband of the daughter with whom she lived & died, calls on me this day, to know how the arrears can be obtained. I tell him on proof of the facts - & a power of Atty from the children.
I further stated, that perhaps, under instructions from your office, an Admt. if appointed, might be permitted to draw it, on condition it should be distributed equally to the Pension Laws of the U. S.
The disputed situation of the heirs, seems to forbid all other modes: & the object of this note is, to learn, whether or not you will authorize this - or some other practicable mode. I have no doubt that the Mother intended - & also that all the other children concur, in giving the arrears (more or less) to Jennet with whom the Mother died. Of this however, you can know nothing.
Another query - viz: By a joint resolution of July 1 st 1848 of Congress, the widow is entitled to the same pension rec d by the husband. He was a Continental soldier, pensioned under the act of 1818 at $96 pr. an: His name was Moses Day, I think.
Will she not be entitled under this resolution, to the difference between $80 & $96, from the commencement of her pension?
Very respectfully

Declaration
In order to obtain the benefit of the act provision of Congress of the 7 th of July, 1838, entitled, "an act, granting half pay & pensions to certain widows." In order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress of the
State of New Jersey, Morris County fr:
On this 13 th day of October, Domini 1838, personally appeared before the Court of Common Pleas of said County, Mrs. Joanna Day, a resident of Chatham Township in said County & State, aged 72 years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on her oath, make the following Declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress passed July 7 th 1838, entitled, "an act, granting half pay & pensions to certain widows."
I am the widow of Moses Day, who was, as I believe, a soldier by regular enlistment in the Continental Army of the United States, in the Revolutionary war. I do not know that he ever rec d . any written discharge, nor have I any documentary proof of his revolutionary services - nor can I now from memory state in detail the duties he performed, or the officers who commanded him. These facts I presume are all related in his declaration now on the files of the Pension office, to which I respectfully refer the Commission of pensions & Secretary of War. He, my said husband, Moses Day, rec d . a pension from the United States for his revolutionary services, under the law of 1818, which was paid to his death as I believe, having probably been suspended for a time by the law of 1820, & afterwards restored. - It is in the opinion of the Pension Commissioners it shall be deemed necessary for me to adduce proof of longer service than was stated by my husband, to entitle me to receive a full pension. I pray that I may be permitted so to do, altho' at this late hour I fear that all his comrades & associates have gone to their graves. His service I believe was throughout the whole of the war.
I was married to the said Moses Day, on the day of January, in the year of our Lord 1785, by Reverend Alexander Miller, then Pastor of the Presbyterian Church & Congregation in Bottle hill, Morris County, now called "Madison". My maiden name, was Joanna Bonnell.
I have been informed there is no Parish record of marriages kept by the Ministers of that Church, at that period, & my small family Bible, contains the ages of my children but not the time of my marriage, as will be seen by reference to the original leaf, which I send with this Declaration. The precise day of our marriage has escaped my recollection, but I am confident as to the month & the year. My oldest child, Elizabeth, was born in May, 1787. - On further reflection, I believe my husband, Moses Day, had a written discharge, which probably was sent to the Pension office with his Declaration in 1818.

I have two sisters living, Nancy Day, widow of William Day, & Eleanor Ward, who were present at my marriage, whose testimony I hope to obtain.
I had a family of 7 sons & 3 daughters by my said husband, born in wedlock, of whom 8 are living, as I believe. My circumstances in life, are very modest, & I shall feel truly grateful for such pension as the funds of my said husband may authorize. —
My husband, the aforesaid Moses Day, died, on the 12 th day of September, in the year of our Lord 1822, I was not married to him prior to his leaving the jurisdiction, but the marriage took place previous to the first of January, nineteen hundred & ninety four, viz: at the time before stated.
I have remained a widow since his death, to the present time, as will more fully appear, by reference to the testimony herunto annexed.

M rs . Kitchell's case is somewhat singular, both husbands having been pensioned. — If the form of her application for the benefit of the Pension law be erroneous, the error is mine rather than hers, & I will rely on your fairness & frankness to set me right, by such instructions as you shall deem to be proper.
