Sir I have the honor to inform you that John Heath to whom an increase of Pension was recently awarded in consequence of service in Col Baldwins Regiment of Artillery, still claims additional increase , in consequence of service as a Lieutenant of Invalids, under Colonel Nicolas Captain Hill until the close of the war. I have not seen Mr Heath, but am told that he insists upon having served in this capacity. & adds that he entrusted his Commission to a member of Congress, from whom it was stolen with many others on the way to Washington I presume it will appear from the rolls in your Office whether Mr Heath is entitled to further increase. The signature of Addison M c Kim Esq r will be found duly authenticated with Mr Heath's papers lately filed

The application of John Strach for an increase of his pension for services as a Lieutenant in the Invalid Corps, has been examined and filed. Claimant alleged no such service in his declaration under the act of 1818, nor under that of 7 June 1832. And his name not being found amongst the Officers of Col. Nichols Regiment, his claim will not be allowed unless sustained by the most satisfactory record or documentary proof. His rank as Lieutenant must be established by the production of his Commission or some other evidence of equal grade. The applicant is returned on the list of final settlements as a private in the Invalid Corps.

Please send me some data on my great great grandfather John Heath - (1759-1858). His wife's name was Amy Hines (1756-1823). Both died at Windsor or Broome Co., N.Y.
Didn't Joseph Heath have a son named Kelus or Kehey Heath (Case No. W. 17996) He Joseph was also my great great grandfather. I am anxious to have complete data of both above as possible as to be ready to join any society & put in my history book -
I guess I'd best have to give you the names and counties who were Am. Rev. soldiers to find which one has received pension or bounty for their services. You need only to  check them out that you have records in file and send me only one of them of his person nature as well as battle data. I have been trying to correct the data to know them. My tradition from relatives that one was in war but never knew what name was and gave me all various names but 3 of them mostly common so believe one of them must belong to our line thus Benjamin, William & John -
 John Jennings of Berks County  Jonathan Jennings of Wayne County or Wilkes Berks County  Isiah J or G Jennings of Northampton County  John Jennings of Cumberland County  Benjamin Jennings of " "  John Jennings of Bedford County  Benjamin Jennings of Somerset or Washington County 

William Jennings of Chester County - Michael Jennings Southtown County but was surgeon under Harley's Company -
As to find out which one of them has children mentioned viz John, Benjamin + Isaac and 2 or 3 girls or Isaac and John and Michael and 3 or 4 girls then I will know which one you are & send me the data after you checked them out that have had records in file. See!
Trust and hope to hear from you very soon especially about John Heath and one of the Jennings and check report. Thank you - If you require payment for trouble, please mention it -

RE: Johnathan or William Heath. Revolutionary War. Enlisted 3rd Mass.
My dear Mr. Commissioner:-
Will you please refer this letter to the old records division, or that division having Revolutionary War data and advise as to what is found relative to the military record of Johnathan or William Heath.
He enlisted in the Third Mass., and served through the war. He served under General Washington at Valley Forge and following the war settled at Binghampton, N.Y., where he received a pension until his death about 1856. He died at the age of ninety-nine. There seems to be some disagreement as to his given name. Some relatives believe it to be Johnathan others William. His family later, prior or subsequent to his death, moved to Windsor, N.Y. In looking up the records, please state if Mr. Heath was an officer or private.
Yours Very Truly,

He never made any statement as to service in the Artificers as on page 293, until July 1844 when a declaration for increase was based on that service and the increase erroneously granted on a certificate which issued Sept. 18 1844, the same person could not have rendered both services as the periods of service cross each other. There is a fraud somewhere.

Honorable Willis G. Sears House of Representatives.
My dear Mr. Sears:
In response to your letter of the eleventh instant, I have the honor to advise you that this Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution, unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made on account of his services, and a careful search of the records fails to show such a claim s on file on account of the services of soldiers named Jonathan and William Heath, Heeth or Heth, who served in the Third Massachusetts Regiment and was pensioned while living in New York.
You are herewith furnished the history of John Heath, who was a Revolutionary War soldier from Connecticut and a pensioner from Windsor, New York.
From the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim S. 23693, it appears that John Heath enlisted at Old Milford, Connecticut in April 1777 and served in Captain Charles Pond's Company, Colonel

Meig's Connecticut Regiment, he was wounded, December 10, 1779, while helping to build huts for the army at Redding, Connecticut, about two years between was transferred to the Invalid Corps in Captain Hill's Company, Colonel Nicola's Regiment, and was discharged in June 1783. Soldier 18 stated that he was Lieutenant in 1782 and 1783 in the Invalid Corps. He was in skirmishes at Ridgefield and Crompo.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 22, 1818, while a resident of Windsor, Broome County, New York, aged sixty-one years.
In 1820, he referred to his wife as aged sixty-three years, and to a daughter, aged thirty-six years, but did not give their names.
Soldier died September 14, 1854.

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letters of July 2 and August 10, 1937, requesting information relative to Revolutionary War soldiers, John and Joseph Heath and John, Jonathan, Isiah, Benjamin and Michael Jennings, Jinnings or Jenkins.
In the papers of the pension claim of Joseph Heath, W.17996, which record was sent you June 25, 1937, no mention was made of a son, Kelm or Kelsey Heath.
Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War data and the limited clerical force available for furnishing such information, it is not possible to make a series of investigations and reports pertaining to soldiers of this war. The record of John Heath, S.23693, is furnished you herewith.
