Pension Office, December 30, 1858.
Sir,
I have received the informal application of Deborah Newell, of New York formerly the widow of John Herron, an alleged revolutionary soldier, and filed it under act of July 7, 1838. This application is unaccompanied by evidence of the service of said Herron, and there is such none of record in this office. I enclose form and instructions for the preparation of claims of this description, which points out the kind of proof required to sustain them.
With great respect,
Hon. R. E. Fenton, House of Reps

Dear Sirs:-
S. 9,916 R. 7,616
Will you please send me any data you have of John Herron who fought in the Revolution with the New York State troops? If you have records of more than one of that name will you please give them all to me that enlisted from N.Y. State, as I am not sure from which county he enlisted.
If you can give the names of his wife or children I would particularly like them; but will be glad of any information.
Yours very truly,

Madam:
In addition to the history of John Herron, Survivor's File No. 9,916 Rev. War, you are furnished the following data relative to the only other John Herron of New York found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
The papers in her claim R. File No. 7,616 Rev. War, show that Deborah Newel applied for pension August 26, 1858, while a resident of Ellington, Chautauqua County, New York, and eighty-two years of age.
She stated that she married at Greenbush, New York, May 17, 1795, John Herron who frequently said that he was a soldier in the Revolutionary War; that he died at Geneseo, New York, October 16, 1826 aged seventy-seven years; and that she afterwards married Ezekiel Newel.
There are no particulars of services whatever, and no further family data on file.
The claim was never allowed for the reason that the widow failed to furnish proof of the alleged service of her husband, as required by the pension laws.
Very respectfully,
J. M. [unclear] Commissioner
