Dear Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 4562, it appears that John Hanes or John Hains married May 28, 1786, in Schoharie County, New York, Eve Dox.
He died in Spencer, Medina County, Ohio, November 23, 1846, in the eighty-eighth year of his age.
His widow, Eve, applied for pension June 9, 1852, at which time she was residing in Medina County, Ohio, and stated that her husband, while living in Schoharie County, New York, served as a Wagonmaster under Colonel Drake and also as a private in Colonel Frederick Fisher's Regiment of New York Militia. She gave no dates of service.
The claim was not allowed as she did not furnish satisfactory proof of his service.
She stated in 1852 that she was aged eighty-four years and in 1853, stated that she was ninety years old.
Their children were:

Your letter of June 25 th was received in reference to the service of John Hanes deceased. I am able to inform you that his grade in 1841. Was a Wagon Master. This fact I have from the Examining Clerk Mr Lee. besides what I have heard the widow relate before the application was made. and if I am not mistaken Mr Howard filed her second declaration to that amount. If you will observe you will find that Hanes is spelt in several different ways on the certificate of the Comptroller. (thus) Hanes, Haines, &c.
Please have the goodness to inform me if you have the name of Nathaniel McClure on the records of the Maryland line as having served to the end of the war. who is entitled to bounty land. and also Edward Drake. of the Pennsylvania line who was an Ensign in the army he held some office as it is stated.

Sir
I am requested by the heirs of Eve Haynes of Ohio to whom a Pension Certificate has been Issued (dated July 16 th /53) for Revolutionary service performed by John Haynes. It seem they are informed by Mr Turner their Lawyer that the Certificate is probably lost or has been mislaid. This Mr Turner has a Power of Attorney to draw the money in her name. They say since the date of his Power he has abandoned the Case and they don't wish the money to be paid to him on that Power if it has not been. You will therefore please inform me of the facts in the Case at your earliest convenience.

Dear Sir,
I wish to ascertain if my Great Grand Father, John Harris , (whom I know was a revolutionary soldier) received a pension & if so will you send me all the particulars of his birth, death & marriage. I do know he is buried at Spencer Ohio & has a marker, sent from

Columbus Ohio showing he was a, revolutionary soldier, also that he was born in Holland & joined as a soldier from N.Y. state. I am trying to get my papers filled out for D.A.R. & lack quite a few particulars.
His middle name was "Christopher" & he married a Miss Dock. in N.Y. state. but I do not know where, nor when. Nor what office he held. If you can not help on this. Maybe I can get in on fathers side.
Was there a soldier

drawing a pension from "Falling Water or Martinsburg Virginia, by the name of " Emerson " married having full name a son named "Noble Emerson," born in England, serving from Virginia.
Hoping this is not to much trouble. & if any expense Please send bill in letter. Thanking you. I am very sincerely
Mrs Nellie Emerson Painter #909 West Church St Elmira N.Y.

I found in looking up in N.Y. in Revolution there were 2 John Hanes one in Second Regiment & one in Fifth Regiment, I do not know which one is my relation, so hope you can straighten this out for me.

but if nothing else will do it must be done.
I am very Respectfully yours
