Chandler served out the said term of three months - That in the summer, of 1781, the said Barnett Mitchell was again drafted from the County of Louisa and State aforesaid for a term of three months, and that he the said Carter B. Chandler substituted himself in the place of the said Barnett Mitchell and served out the said term of three months. That he resided in Louisa County, Virginia when he entered the service first and also when he entered the service the second time and was too young to be enrolled in the militia. That Cabin Point was the place of rendezvous in the first term. That he remained there some time and was then marched to Petersburg, Virginia where he was discharged. That when he went as a substitute for the said Mitchell at the second time - the company to which he belonged marched to Yorktown, Virginia. That said Mitchell was hard pressed and could not be released by consent of both, which was not done, and then affiant engaged as his substitute and went and joined the company at Yorktown. That he was at the siege of Yorktown and was discharged there after the surrender of Lord Cornwallis. That Genl. Washington commanded the American army there. That affiant is illiterate, and cannot remember the names of any other of the officers under whom he served in the two above mentioned terms from now the specific units certainly a time before mentioned. He was discharged at Yorktown.

He returned to Louisa County Virginia, and was living near the line of Spottsylvania when he entered the service of Virginia. That in the winter after Comstock's surrender, he entered the service as a substitute for John Gault, who was drafted for eighteen months and after serving a few days, the said Gault deserted - returned, & while he left himself unprovided, his friends came to assist & procured him to go and offer himself a substitute for said Gault, who was then absent and was received by Colonel Fitzhugh  Stonewall , and was attached to Stonewall  Harrison's Company, at Cumberland & Orange. That he stayed at Cumberland & Orange until the said Beckman's month had expired; that he then applied for his discharge General Fitzhugh  Stonewall being absent, he could not obtain it; That officer with the troops that were then there went on a march to Chancellorsville Barracks. That on the way he procured a furlough to go home, and that he yielded to the persuasion of his father and did not return on the expiration of his furlough, but he went out by himself and was captured by the enemy for the last time and was captured and therefore he received no pay and that in this last tour he served very near eighteen months - in regular service - five days at the commencement of the war - and officer in the said service after eight months has retired from the service most of quarters taken. That he has no military evidence of his service. - That upon the testimony of his brother who knows of his military service returning from the same at the time - and he is the brother in law of the above named James H. Mitchell.

As far as I am concerned I am in the middle of the road. I have not yet been by where it was said my age, I know my age is not too young to be enrolled in the militia when I heard about the revolution as a date here from Philadelphia.
I have no record of my age, now that I know that there is none.
I was living in Louisa County, Virginia when I saw the first of the above notices. The name of the publisher is not known to me, but as the notices of interest from Richmond were about the line of Spotsylvania , I have sent you a copy.

RHODE ISLAND SENATOR.—The Hon. Wm. Sprague is elected U. S. Senator to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of the late Senator, Mr. Dixon.
Mr. Sprague was not, we understand, the Federal candidate. He was elected by the Democratic vote, added to a fragment of Whigs. He is considered what is called a Tyler man . Mr. Archer, therefore, can no longer assert (as he did yesterday,) that the President has not one friend in the Senate.— Ib.

Pension Office January 29. 1844.
I have the honor to return you the papers in the case of Walter R. Chandler and in reply to yours of the 22 nd inst. would inform you that there are no evidences of his alleged services in this Office. The records of the Virginia Line afford no evidence whatever of his eighteen months service therein or of that of John Gantler, of whom he alleges he was the substitute. If he served, as alleged, in Colonel Hebegeer's Regiment, in 1782, and 1783, it is most extraordinary that his name is not borne on the records. The silence of the records raises a presumption against his claim which can only be rebutted by evidence of a very high grade.
I have the honor to be Very respectfully, Your O bt Servant, J. L. Edwards

The additional evidence furnished in this case being satisfactory to establish two Military terms of three months each, we respectfully request that a certificate may be issued for what is proven, and whenever we may be in possession of evidence to establish the remainder of the service claimed, we will apply for the increase of pension.
We are very respectfully Yrs affly J L G A Smith

Some time past Carter B. Chandler's declaration asking to be allowed a Pension under the act of June 1832 was presented for your consideration, the evidence was not satisfactory to yourself as comt. - although the evidence was not strictly in conformity with the Rules of the department it was thought the claim upon the evidence might be allowed by Congress, accordingly the papers were withdrawn and offered before Congress the claim was allowed by the H. of Reps. but rejected against by Senate committee, the papers have remained there without further action.
Richard Lane gave a deposition in relation to Chandler's service which deposition was before you, I have lately been to see Mr. Lane, & thought it advisable to take a second deposition and will beg leave to say that from Mr. Lane's great care and deliberation in giving his evidence, and from his high standing in his neighborhood (he has lived there 80 years) so far as I could learn, I have no hesitation in believing his statements to be true, - Chandler and Lane are not brothers in law as supposed to be understood by Senate committee, - Barnett Mitchell and Lane were brothers in law, - Chandler was a substitute for Mitchell not Lane, - I shall endeavor to have the papers in this case presented to you again, and with this second deposition of Mr. Lane

and that of Henry Bibb which you will find among the papers (I don't think Bibb's deposition was ever before you) I hope the evidence may be considered satis- factory — I cut Henry Bibb's obituary from a paper and enclose it, not as evidence, but to show that he was at least of good standing with the writer.
