Commissioner of Pensions.
Dear Sir
Under the Pension Act of 1840 Lucinda Miles of East Haven Conn. secured a pension, presumably as relying upon services of husband Theophilus Miles in Revolutionary war . Is it possible to give me any fact of his service, - the company, or regiment he served in, - or any other upon which the claim was allowed.
Yours Respectfully
Frederic D Beach.
Derby Conn.

State of Connecticut - East Haven July 17 th 1899 Sir
By the urgent solicitation of Mrs. Lucinda Miles of said East Haven - late widow of Darius Heacock died and by request of William Storer Esq. of New Haven I would present to the Pension Office the enclosed Deposition in further proof of the service of said Darius Heacock in the war of the revolution —
I have been well acquainted with the said Lucinda Miles previous to her last marriage and since she became a widow as she formerly and now resides in this town where her family connections reside. She has always sustained a good character and it has been said by the aged inhabitants and still is believed that said Darius Heacock served a considerable time in the war of the revolution and if living would be entitled to a Pension and that under the late Acts of Congress the said Lucinda Miles as being the wife of the said Darius Heacock during his service and afterwards became his widow and now being a widow is entitled to the provision of said Act —
It appears that said Lucinda Miles made application for a Pension in 1898 through the agency of William Storer Esq. but as no returns have been received from the Pension Office relative to her claim. She feels anxious

to know the result of her case — it appears by the pay rolls of Capt. Phinehas Bradley, which are supposed to be in the Pension Office with the Deposition of Thomas Shephard which I was knowing to and which accompanied her Declaration was sufficient proof of the service of the dec d but by request the Deposition of Benj. R Fowler is hereby forwarded in support of said claim
I should at first acted as her Agent — but for certain circumstances rendered it necessary that Mr. Storer should act for her — The applicant is in declining health and she feels desirous to know the result of her case
Should there require any further proof on her part be pleased to acquaint me — not that I have any direct claim of the Department, but only to grant a favor to a worthy but needy member of this place
I am very respectfully Your obedient Servant Bela Farnham
J. L. Edwards, Esq. Comm r of Pensions.

East Haver Connecticut August 31 st 1889
Sir
Yours of the 17 th was received and by the urgent request of the widow Lucinda Miles. I have exerted to assist her in her application for a Pension - accordingly she has made a further Declaration supplementary to the one heretofore made with the accompanying Deposition. which is all that is fully known relative to the service of Darius Flickfox the former husband of the said Lucinda. with respect to the Deposition of Benjamin R Fowler he thinks if he set forth that Darius Flickfox served as a Lieut. under Capt Johnson it must have been an error in him as by the documents referred to it appears that he served as a private As nothing has been objected to relative to the marriages and deaths it is presumed the former depositions are sufficient. I have been acquainted with the Applicant for forty five years past and am knowing to the uprightness of her character and have no reason to doubt the correctness of her declaration As this has been a case of long standing it is to be hoped that it may be consistent with the Pension department to act on this application as soon as convenient -
I am respectfully Yours Obedient Servant Bela Farnham
To J L Edwards Esq. Washington City.
