Sir
Yours of the 24 th September directed to the Town Clerk was received - it would have been answered before had it not been mislaid & forgotten -
I have examined the Town record of marriages but find no record of the marriage of Reuben Grant & Anna Loomis. I have also examined the Church Records & find that Aaron Grant of East Windsor & Anna Loomis of Betton were married Feb 1 st 1815 - Mr Colton undoubtedly mistook the Christian name.
Yours &c
Hezekiah Wood
Jesse Chearleton Esq.
Mr Alwood from whom I received the foregoing Letter, is a man of respectability, a Magistrate & attorney & has been a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, for Holland County: what he suggests in regard to Mr Colton's mistaking the Christian name of Mr Grant, recording it Aaron instead of Reuben is undoubtedly true, Reuben Grants fathers name was Aaron, he had a brother Aaron; and from the testimony of Eunice Loomis Russell & Loomis, & Ephraim Grant, & Lucy Grant, that it was Reuben Grant who married Anna Loomis, I think it can leave no doubt on that point, & Mr Colton's entry of the time is undoubtedly correct as it is inserted in its regular order in the series of entries as I myself saw in his original Records.

I am induced to ask whether there is not a mistake in the certificate, for from your letter of August 17 th  1842 you express that the evidence is satisfactory, of Reuben Grants services 2 Months at New London.
5 Months & 5 days in Butlers Regiment 1780.
6 Months in Webbs Regiment, in 1781. 13 - 5 days.
And Sir. As you have heretofore granted to the Widows the amount which their husbands would have been entitled to if they had made application from the 4 th of March 1831, to the day of their death, In Mrs Grants declaration we combined this claim with the other, conceiving no difficulty in considering them together, & combining the result in one certificate.
Have the goodness to inform me Sir, whether it is indispensable that Mrs Grant make another and distinct declaration in order to have the benefit of that provision of the Law.
And as I believe there is a mistake in the computation of the time, I have returned the certificate that the error may be rectified.
I remain Sir Most respectfully Your Obed t Serv t Jesse Charlton J L Edwards commissioner of Pensions Washington D. C.

Connecticut, st August 31 1842.
Hon Sir.
In your letter of August 17, th 1842, you reported the case of Anna Grant Widow of Reuben Grant under Act of July 7 th 1838.
In a letter from the Hon Jos Trumbull of August 27, in answer to an enquiry I made of him, in regard to the probability of the proposed amendment of 7 th July 1838. He says
"I have made enquiry of Col. Taliaferro, at the head of the Committee, who informs me, that the Act of July (38) is so amended, that the death of the husband after the Act of 1832, will not stand in the way."
If he is right in this, permit me again to ask your attention, Sir, to this application.
I remain Sir, Most respectfully Your obed Servt.

Hon d Sir
I have before me, yours of the 14 th ; together with the Pension certificate of Mrs Anna Grant Grant Widow of Reuben Grant.
In the computation as stated in the letter of the 14 th inst, you have omitted the two months at New London in 1779.
By yours of August 17 th 1842. You admit the service at New London as satisfactorily proved for two months.
It is testified to by Jonathan Pasco, and his name is on the pay roll of Capt Coles company, which I sent you with Richard Keeneys application for increase of Pension which was granted in consequence of that document Oct 12 th 1840.
If there is any defect in regard to this term, I can procure the testimony of more witnesses by the trouble of a days ride.
I think on reexamination you will find there is the mistake as I suggested
I remain most respectfully, Your obed t Servant.
Jesse Charlton
Hon. J. L. Edwards
Commissioner of Pensions

P.S. Permit me to make one other inquiry, it is not one of idle curiosity. But relates to the future application of Mrs Anna Grant for the benefit of the Second section of the Act of July 4 th 1836.
If the Husband died after the date of the Act of March 4 th 1836 1832 can the Widow obtain what he would have drawn from March 4 th 1831 To the day of his death, if he had made application, but died without making such application
Most Respectfully
Your obed t Serv t
Jesse Cheyton.
Hon. J. L. Edwards Commissioner of Pensions.

Sir.
I herewith transmit the application of Anna Grant, Widow of Reuben Grant, formerly of East Windsor Ct, & last of the Township of Hope, in the county of Durham, in upper Canada.
Something more than a year ago Mrs Grants Son James Grant whom I knew sent to me the request that I would obtain the proof of his fathers services in the War of the Revolution; stating that at different periods, he served more than three years. I found in this county two old Soldiers, who served with him: One, viz. Jonathan Pasco, in two of his tours; and Daniel Robards in one of them.
The Widow has now removed into this county to reside with one of her sons and delayed to make her application until she arrived here, from Canada: within a few days.
The service in 1779, under Capt Cone you will find recognized in Captain Cones Pay Roll, which I sent you Oct 6 th 1840, with the application of Richard Keeney, of Manchester Ct for an increase of Pension.
I am Sir, most respectfully, Your Obedient Servant.
Jesse Charlton.
