There is none of the heirs now living in Jackson County Alabama but nearly all of them live in Kentucky. I was born on the 26th day of August 1787.

My father Philip died leaving the following

CHAP. XXII  And he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning-star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the book of this prophecy, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. 20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly: Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

(Papers of Philip Hammon Late of Montgomery County Kentucky)

Proctor, Owens County Kentucky, 30 th May 1856 Sir.
I herewith enclose to you a power of Attorney in the case of Philip Hamman, formerly of Montgomery county Ky and I understand he has been already pensioned, or his claim has been allowed under the act March 18 th 1818.
I want to know the facts of his case, and what has to be done in order that we can draw the money. His son James Hamman has been appointed administrator of his father in this county, the names and number of his surviving children, and the date of his death is now of record in this county. He is also administrator of his mother Christena Hamman, and the date of her death is on record also. Will an affidavit by James giving up the original family record of his father, and which shows the time of their deaths coupled with an his affidavit, then a certified order of the County Court of this county, showing the date of the death of Philip, and his surviving children, and that he was the identical Philip who was a claimant of Montgomery county under the act 18 th March 1818, be sufficient to establish his identity & the date of his death? I think David Trimble had something to do with the case. Mr. Trimble was in Congress 8 years, probably Hamman's papers were prepared during Trimble's time as congressman.
As this claim has never been attended to, will I have to correspond with the 3 rd Auditor, or with you? If with the Auditor, please hand this to him.
I am your obedient servant

Sir: I herewith enclose to you the proof in the case of Philip Hammon, late of Montgomery County. This comes up to the requirement of the 2 nd Regulation of the Pension Department under Mr. Waldo. I enclose to you last mail a power of Attorney in the same case.
This case is properly before I do not know, whether this case is properly before you, or not.
If it should be that the 3 rd Auditor of the Treasury Department is the one that I ought to correspond with I shall thank you very kindly if you will refer these papers to him. I want the case attended to just as soon as it can be, conveniently.
I suppose there is nothing further required however, if there should be give me instructions and please attend to it immediately.
Yours Minot E. Cogg Q.P. Washington City D.C.
I have the honor to be your very obedient servant

PS. I see from the information in my possession that the claim has been allowed. David Trumble, congressional agent those times proposed the case.

Proctor, Wesley Geo, Kentucky. 21st Decem 1856
Sir: I have the claim of Philip Hammond before the Treasury Department at Richmond Va under the act of 1781.
There was a settlement I made with Philip on the 20th day of December 1786 and evidence of the indebtedness of the State to him for £ 33, 6. 8 delivered to Wm McRea
The Treasurer writes to me that the claim will be paid if I can produce the original certificate of settlement. I presume it is on file in his papers in his claim under the Act 18th March 1818 Application made from Montgomery Co Ky and allowed. I write this in order that if the original settlement is on file, we desire to withdraw it, and use it before the Treasury of Virginia. I do hope you will afford us the means to draw the money if it is in your possession. The Treasurer has decided unless we can produce the original certificate of settlement the claim cannot be paid therefore enclose it to me, if found. I hope you will answer this so I can know precisely the facts

Proctor. Owensburg County Ky 15 th Sept 1856
Sir: I have recd your letter in the case of Mrs Hammon. Act 4 th July 1836. I have had a talk with Mr James Hammon her son. He thinks that his father Philip was married in the year of 1779, but a short time after he returned from the service, if so, she is not entitled to the benefit of the act 1836.
I therefore ask you to allow the claim under the act of 1838, as there can be no doubt at all but what she is entitled under this act.
I have the honor to be your very obedient servant
To J Minot Esqr C.P. Washington City D.C.
W. M. Fulkerson
P.S. If I understand the various acts in behalf of the widows, it needs no further preparation to be made in order, that Mrs Hammon claim be allowed under the act of 1838, although the papers was prepared to obtain the benefit of the act of 1836.

Sir: I herewith enclose to you the papers of James Hammond, administrator of his father Philip. Philip is one of those Virginia soldiers who were provided for by Virginia in 1781 and subsequently by the General Government. In 1832 the Treasury Department decided that none of the Virginia soldiers were entitled unless under the act 5 th July 1832 unless that they had had their claims audited and settled by the proper officers. Mr Hammond came then within that regulation. As matter of course he is entitled to his full pay from the date of his settlement with Virginia up to his death. His settlement made 20 th July 1786 died 3 rd August 1832. I should not tell whether to address you the Commissioner of Pensions, or the Treasury Department.
I would thank you very kindly if it is not properly before you, that you will refer it to the proper one.

Sir: I herewith enclose to you the declaration of James Cannon advising of his mother deceased, in order to obtain to obtain the benefit of the act of the 4 th July 1836. I also enclose to you the letter of the Clerk of Greenbrier county Va showing that there is no such record there. I also enclose the original family record of Philip's family, from this you will discover that Philip was married before his term of service expired, and I also enclose to you a copy of the certificate of the Auditor of Public Accounts at Richmond Va certifying the time of service of Philip - when it began, and when it terminated.
From this certificate of facts, are you not mistaken as to the amount allowed him? You allow him $80 - did not the act of the Virginia Assembly allow or give to all the soldiers who served as much as 9 months $96 -, and under the present proof is he not entitled to $96 - per annum.
The original certificate of the Virginia Auditor of the 18 th July 1856 is now on file either in the Treasury or Pension Departments. The vouchers necessary in such cases accompanied it, and I would be extremely grateful to you, or the proper person, that the case be acted on. I enclosed the package to Mr. Robt.

Proctor. Owens County Kentucky 18 th July 1856
Sir I herewith enclose to you the declaration of James Harmon A.D. of his father deceased.
Does not the proof already on file in the case warrant an allowance under the act 1st May 1820 and if not under that act, will it not warrant an allow- -ance under the act of 1828? If the proof will not come up to either of these acts but the case to for the act 7 th June 1832 the one he is gone under.
I want to know whether or not the proof does show that Philip Harmon served in that war by a special contract with the government at $1—per day in occupying Fort Pitt, and that in that capacity he rendered service 3 years?
I hope you will answer the questions as to the acts 1820 & 1828 as Mr. James Harmon desires it, and also he desires to know what the proof will show as to the contract between his father and the government at $1—per day.
