W m B. Hasbrouck Esq.
Dear Sir,
Understanding you are one of the Committee on Revolutionary claims, I have taken the liberty to state a fact that has come under my observation with a Pensioner, William Keater a pensioner of the Revolution has frequently called upon me to make out certificates to draw his pension at New York. I found his certificates were not always the same and made enquiry and found the result to be that one certificate dated 30 th April, 1818 to W m Keater signed J. C. Calhoun Secretary at War, the other dated 25 th May 1819 (signed J. L. Edwards in the absence and on behalf of the Secretary of War To W m Keater) and I think there was another in his possession, to Wilhelmus Keater. I am however not certain, W m Holmes says he has seen such a one and has had it in possession. This man lives in Marble Town, Ulster County and has drawn his pension also from the County of Schoharie, the certificate signed J. L. Edwards, I have kept back some time since and is now with me. You will please make the enquiry and let me know whether he has drawn from both or from

all three at the same time.
Yours respectfully John Chipse
Kingston, January 4 th 1827.
The foregoing is a copy of a letter sent by the Hon. A. B. Hasbrouck to the Pension Office, and returned to him Jan. 16. 1827.

Office of Discount & Deposit New York 12 th June 1827
Sir, A person from the Country called at this Office to enquire the cause of the suspension of the Pension to William Keater, but your Letter of the 18 th of last January does not explain the cause. On particular enquiry he said that he believed that two Pension Certificates, had been obtained by the same Person one in the name of W m Keater and the other W m Keator that his proper name is William Keater and he produced the enclosed Certificates, he was then informed that $285 06 paid in the name of W m Keator must be refunded and the Certificates go to the War Department, he then said the Pensioner wished him to deliver up all the Papers, that he is incapable of refunding being extremely indigent and about 80 years of age: that the Pensioner declared to him that he had received only $8 per month (admitting at the same time that part was received on each Certificate, on enquiry in whose possession the Certificates had been, it appeared probable from this persons account that the Pensioner had possession of (or own) both until about a year ago when the latter came into the hands of John Nip Ely of

Kingston Ulster Co New York, from whom he had received it to surrender at this Office (and the other Certificate he received of the Pension to surrender also,
The Pension in the name of Keater was paid first from 19 November 1818, to 4 Sep 1819. — $76. and afterwards paid from 1 July 1823 to 4 September 1825 $209.06 together $285.06. The other in the name of Beater has been paid up to 4 th September 1826, and is in the proper name.
The gentleman who surrendered the Certificates did not leave his name but said he should be in the City on the first of July (and would call again at the Office.

Sir,
The enclosed letter from a very Respectable Magistrate in my District came to my hands a day or two ago. The writer seems to suspect some fraud upon the government arising from the pensioners having three different Certificates with the name Shell in three different ways. I forward the letter to you, that if you think there is any ground for the suspicion, you may take such steps as you may think proper. You will please to return the letter to me.
