Dear Sir,
There is an old lady from the Town of Stratford, Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin who says that she is on the pension list & has her name drawn a pension. As near as I can learn it was under the act of July 4 th 1838 granting half pay to widows & orphans. She says her husband's name was Joseph Daniels a Revolutionary Pensioner. (She name is Susannah Daniels) She wants to know what is necessary for her to do in order to have her transferred so that she can draw her pension in Wisconsin.
Mr. Potter says that there is no provision for the widows who are pensioners under the same act in the Territory, made with him to pay things. I allude to the payment of Mrs. Barlow's pension for the last two years.

Dear Sir. In the case of the application of Susannah Daniels Widow of Joseph Daniels late of Stratford in the State of New Hampshire deceased there was no proof of the marriage required, and on inquiry it was ascertained that another person was living who was present at the marriage and at consider- -able expense her Affidavit was taken and forwarded to your Honour I believe some time in August last if I rightly recollect. No answer having been received Mrs Daniels feels anxious to be informed whither there has been any proof received of her marriage since her papers were first received and if so she will consider it a favour conferred on her to have a decision in her case or be informed whither the Affidavit above mentioned has been received or not. The Affidavit referred to above was sent to me and I enclosed it in a wrapper and sent it by the Mail to your Honour but I do not recollect the name of the Affiant - With due consideration and respect your Obedient Servant Joshua Marshall

Respected Sir,
Enclosed is another affidavit in proof of the Marriage of the Widow Susannah Daniels to her late husband Joseph Daniels deceased. To obtain proof in these cases, at so late a date after the transaction or marriage took place, and the imperfect state of the records of those times, when there were any records at all made, is attended with a great deal of trouble and expense. It is hoped therefore that this affidavit may be, with the one already in your honours Office, satisfactory proof of the Widow Daniels marriage. The widow is poor and needs her Pension for actual support.
I have been acquainted with the family during forty years last past and I do not doubt the truth of all the facts alleged in all the papers I have sent to your Office relating to her case -
With due respect I am Sir your Obedient Servant

Hon. J. L. Edwards, Commissioner of Pensions,
Respected Sir, Herewith enclosed are the declaration and Affidavits &c. relating to the Pension of Joseph Daniels. By the case presented to you Sir, you will see that the said Daniel died on the tenth day of June last, before his papers were returned from the War Department. Since his death his Widow Saranna Daniels requested me to examine the papers, and prepare such evidence as could be produced under the circumstances, You will see by the certificate of the Secy of the State of Massachusetts that two short terms of Service are proved which are not mentioned in his declaration. You will find by the Affidavits produced that said Daniels mentioned those terms at the time he made his declaration, but would not have them put in his declaration. I know nothing of your decisions in cases like the present, but I have endeavored to present it agreeable to the facts and shall await your decision, I know of no more evidence in the case that can be obtained, excepting that relating to his credibility which can be supported by the Affidavit of every person, (for aught that I know) who was acquainted with him, I am Sir, very Respectfully your Abt.

Affidavits of L. Natch & Susan, Daniels

I Leonard Hatch aged thirty eight years, do depose and testify, That I was well acquainted with Joseph Daniels late of Stratford in the County of Coos & State of N. Hampshire, and was present when he died on the tenth day of June last past at his house. I also testify That I was born as I believe in said Stratford and have resided there ever since (excepting two years,) and have been ac- quainted with the late Joseph Daniels ever since I was old enough to become acquainted with him, & I think That not less than thirty years, and can cheerfully testify That his character for credibility stood as high as any other persons in the County of Coos. That before he made his declaration in order to obtain a pension he requested me to take down a Statement of his services during the Revolutionary War of the United States, and write to his Brother in law, Darius Sumner in Mendon, Massachusetts to see if he could obtain any evidence of his services during said War. in That Statement he named seven persons who were with him, I wrote to Col. Sumner & received an answer That there was but one of those seven persons living, and he did not recollect any thing of use to the said Daniels - In the Statement taken by me at That time said Daniels stated he served two Months in the fall of 1775 - two Months in the fall of 1776 was in the service when Fort Washington was taken on the Hudson River - four Months in 1777 in the Campaign against and at the taking of Gen. Burgoyne, four Months in 1780 was in this service at the time Arnold fled to N. York I further say That in addition to the above State- ment, he at the same time stated That he was in the service on several short tours, That he stood a minute man and was called out to serve a week and one time a fortnight at a time, but those

short terms of service were so trifling he should not have them put in his declaration
I was also present when he made his declar- ation on the 27th day of October 1852 and at that time he again stated that he was out one or twice on short terms in the service seven days at one time and a fortnight at a time, but there were so trifling he would not have them inserted in his declaration.
The said Daniels was very illiterate but could read the bible and that was the principal book which he read.
From my intimate acquaintance with him for twenty years and having transacted a great deal of business with and for him I have no doubt that he stated in his declaration to obtain a pension nothing more than he believed to be the truth.

Sir, We have again examined the Rolls, and as you did not give us any more information in your Second letter, than was contained in the first. we have endeavoured, with the particulars we had, to obtain all the evidence for S r D r . service the Certificate will show you how far we have accomplished it. The records relating relating to the service of the Revolutionary Soldiers are very imperfect, and it requires much more time and patience to examine them than any one would think who had not once undertaken it.

Dear Sir,
As Mrs. Daniel is very old & forgetful and as her papers were all left to Washington, she cannot tell what the Captain or Colonel's name is, her husband served under. Your clerk requires that, in order to get a pension. Her Christian name is Susannah. Will you inform me, for I am unable to pick up the Bureau's until I get their names.
I refer you to my last letter. I believe there are two years passed since this Spring. Please also inform me the time to which she is now entitled to draw under the old & present Amended laws.

Can her heirs (a daughter) prove the fact before the Probate Court of this Co. & file a Certificate from that officer under his own hand and seal answer the pension, our laws not having any Clerk attached to said Court.

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Joseph Daniels further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? yes II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? yes III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so? IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served? no V. * Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled? no VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? no VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? yes VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? yes IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? yes X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal? no

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service? yes XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it? XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had? no XIV. † If the applicant's name is not found on the rolls of military service, has he produced a witness or witnesses as to his service? If he has produced direct proof as to service, has the magistrate who administered the oath, certified to the credibility of the witness or witnesses? yes Has the proper officer certified to the official character and signature of the magistrate as the regulations direct? yes XV. Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age, as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service? XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? no XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered?
 EXPLANATORY NOTES.
* QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words: "Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____ For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimant's entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
Application should be made to E. D. Bangs Esq. Secy of the State of Mass. for evidence of the claimant's service

My Dear Sir:
I desire information concerning the service of my Paternal Grandfather, who was a soldier of the Revolution.
His name was Joseph Daniels, and died at Stratford, N. H., June 11. 1833, aged 77.
His widow, Susanna Daniels, was pensioned soon after her husband's death, which was continued during the remaining years of her life. She died at Kenosha, Wisconsin, Oct. 16, 1845, aged 84.
If you can give his Rank, years of service and engagements, (if any) in which he participated, and, also, from what State enlisted, I shall consider it a great personal favor and will pay for the same, if a bill is sent.
It has always been understood in our family that my maternal grandfather - Noah Hatch, was, also, a soldier of the Revolution. Will you inform me if his name is on the Roll?
Very Respectfully F. W. Daniels
