Shelbyville April 26. 1845.
Sir.
John Dougherty was a pensioner of the United States under the laws granting pensions to Revolutionary soldiers! I think that he received his certificate after the year 1832. He resided in this County (Shelby) and died in September 1835. Letters of administration were granted to me by the court of the County on his estate. If there were arrears of his annual pension due to him at his death, and the administrator of his estate is the proper person to demand them, I as his administrator ask of the Department of War the Chief, respectfully, to be informed of the amount due to said intestate at his death, and what course of proceeding I should observe to demand and receive the pension so due to Dougherty.
At the December Term of the same County Court in the year 1834, I was also appointed administrator of the estate of James Fitzgerald deceased. I am informed that he

was a pensioner of the United States under the Iowa making provision and granting pensions to Revolution and Soldiers. He died early in that month of the year 1834. I re- spectfully ask the same information as to any claim that he may have been entitled to for arrears of his pension at his death which I have asked in regard to Dougherty.
Very respectfully your obedt. Servt Jos. C. Spragg
