Dear Sir:-
I am trying to get a record of my great-grandfather Mr. Luke Heazelwood who fought in the Revolutionary War, and thought perhaps if his widow had received a pension that probably I could get information that way.
His wife's name when he married her was Mrs. Nancy Ballard. She having been a widow. Her maiden name was

Nancy Bolton. They spent the latter part of their lives in Stanford Ky.

State of Kentucky - Lincoln County
Luke Hayswood of Lincoln County Kentucky a pensioner, declares on oath, that a pension was granted to him for services performed by him as a soldier as will appear by the pension certificate signed by Rev War Secretary of the war department bearing date on the 22nd day of January 1833. at 4552. that during last fall he made the requisite affidavits & executed to James Whitacre a power of attorney authorizing him to draw his (affiant's) pension that in executing said power of attorney & subscribing his name to the declaration stating that he was the person named in said certificate, this affiant made his mark, instead of signing his name, the reason why he made his mark instead of signing his name is, that this affiant is old & infirm, & that owing to his debilitated condition he is unable to write his name, & is compelled to make his mark to such documents as are necessary to be executed by him.
This affiant states that he was, by his agent & attorney in fact, applied at the Branch Bank at Lexington Ky for the purpose of receiving his pension from the 4th day of September 1833 to the 4th day of March 1834. but that instead of drawing his pension, he was informed that it was suspended, because his mark had been made, instead of signing his name. He therefore prays that the money be restored to his pension.
Luke Hayswood his mark

Thomas Helm clerk of the Lincoln County Court in the State of Kentucky, declares on oath that he drew the original declaration of Luke Haylewoop for a pension that a Certificate of pension, signed by Lewis Cass Secretary of the War Department, & bearing date the 22 nd of January 1833 & No 45321 was transmitted to this affiant from Washington City which was delivered to Luke Haylewoop. That some time in the fall of the year 1833 Luke Hayle- woop the pensioner, in the office of this affiant, did make the affidavit & execute the power of attorney as required by the rules of the War Department, appointing James Wallace his attorney in fact to claim his pension. This affiant cannot state whether Luke Haylewoop in executing said papers signed his name or made his mark. This affiant states that to Luke Haylewoop in whose possession the original pension Certificate granted by Lewis Cass, now in is the same person to whom the pension was origi- nally granted. This affiant has known Luke Hayle- woop for many years & alluded to the preparation of his papers for the purpose of obtaining his pension that the pension Certificate above referred to is at this time in the possession of Luke Haylewoop.
This affiant states that he has been informed that from some cause or irregularity the pension claim of Luke Haylewoop has been suspended by the War Department. This affiant is of opinion that the sus-

possession of said Haylewood's claim should not be continued, but that he should forthwith be restored to the possession of it. (Thomas Helms)
