Dear Sir
Yours of the 19 th Inst. With its enclosure is now before me and I say in reply that I have carefully examined the Records of My Office for the Marriage of William Beard And Rebecca Groom and find no such Record, It is a matter to be regretted that at that day our public transactions were not admitted to as they should be, neither in Law or Religion, the clerks did not preserve Regular files nor did the preachers make Regular Returns of Marriages,
I was well acquainted with Rubeal Smith (a Good man & tolerable Good preacher) he raised near the Line between Shelby & Breckinridge Counties. If the Lady was the daughter of Jonah Groom I knew him, And after his death the Wilson & Christian moved out of the County (where I do not know) If I ever knew, Can I have forgotten him,
Inquired of Mr. Pate What County she lived in when married My strongest impressions are that she must have lived in Buttsburg or Lynnville if she lived in Shelby there is no evidence of her

Married on Records here to be found Perhaps she may supply the proof by the Testimony of Witnesses I know several who Resided in the Neighbourhood of Glover as and before the time of her death they are still living if the Lady was Sarah daughter of or sister of they will recollect the marriage Mr. Vansys, Whitaker, Stout, & many others including Waller on Buck Creek and still Living Some of them perhaps can give some information, I Return you the instructions & the inclosed Note with that any thing that I may have in my power to do in aid of the Lady's claim will be cheerfully done

Washington, Dec. 17. 1856.
Sir,
Enclosed I have the honor to present the Claim of Rebecca Gase, widow of William, of Indiana, for an increase of her pension under the Act of 29 th July 1848. Her husband was a pensioner at the rate of $96 per annum, under Acts of 1818 & 1820, and died in receipt of the same. The widow is therefore clearly entitled to a pension at same rate, under said Act of 29 th July 1848. She has only been allowed at the rate of $80.
It will be seen by the enclosed papers that her original certificate has been lost, and cannot, therefore, be surrendered.)
Very respectfully

Dear Sir -
In response to your letter of Aug 28 - will say that I have been unable to determine just what kind of endorsement you wish me to furnish. I am told by two aunts that their grandmother, Rebecca Lease drew a pension of eight dollars per month on the services of her husband, William

Case, for services rendered as soldier during the Revolutionary War. Said William Case was born 1855 & died near Camp- belloburg, Ind., in 1827. His widow Rebecca Case died at the same place Nov. 16, 1863. I am unable to give number of pension certificate, or state from which William Case enlisted. I desire

This information in order to prove my eligibility to the Daughters of the American Revolution.
If you can furnish this information - please advise me as to cost -
If there are requirements with which I have not complied - please advise me - And Oblige

Gentlemen:-
May I not presume upon your kind courtesies to favor me with any information that you may have as regards the war record of one Wm. Case who was born in the year 1755, died Nov. 1st, 1827, his wife's name being Rebecca Case.
The descendents of this Wm. Case above mentioned have been informed without the detailed information that he enlisted in the Revolutionary Army probably from Pennsylvania or the territory of Connecticut. They should like very much indeed to have the record of the date of his service in the army which they feel could be obtained from your records, as his widow was known to have been awarded a pension and received same at the time of her death some time subsequent to his (Wm. Case's death).
Mr. Case was buried in Trimble's cemetery, Orange County, Indiana.
With this information will thank you to supply other details from your office if possible.
Enclosing self addressed, stamped envelope and thanking you for your favor, I am
Yours very truly,
