Dear J. L. Richards,
Sir
I send you here with an application of Mrs. Mary Hopkins widow of John Hopkins a Soldier of the Revolution for a pension. Her husband was a poor seaman, resided at the time in Hays the Co. Pennsylvania. & I think belongs to either the Pennsylvania or New Jersey troops. His Certificate is lost!
I hope the pa- per will be regular, and that action will soon be had on her case, and that I may be advised accordingly.
I understand that she receives $48.00. per annum.

I would respectfully call your attention to the Application of Mary Haden No 36.025, for Bounty Land under the act of March 3 rd 1855, for the services of her husband, Jno Haden in the War of the Rebellion
By circular of the 21 st of August Last I was informed that there does not appear any service in the Revolutionary war, of John Haden upon record in your office
M rs Haden is now a Pensioner for the service of her husband in said War, is not the proof of said service filed when the Pension was obtained Record evidence , or is the widow & soldier to be the sufferer owing to the rolls being destroyed in 1814 in Washington.
I call this case up again, from information I rec d (yesterday while at Morgantown O h ) from J. P. Byrnes Esq r , who had a case similar to this of M rs Haden and he rec d a warrant for 160 acres for her — The case was of M rs —athers widow of Jacob —athers, M rs —athers is now a Pensioner, which Pension was obtained solely upon proof of service

as there was no roll showing his  his  vice , this I was informed by Mr. Rymers, who obtained the Pension for them - such being one case I would respectfully ask why should not  not Mrs. Peathers receive a warrant and not Mrs. Naden - their cases are similar I have thought there might have been a change in the decision since.
Your attention to this will oblige
Yours Respectfully, Jno. H. Hoffman "

The office of the Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir,
An inquiry of mine to the War Department has been returned to me with the suggestion that you might be able to give me the desired information.
I am anxious to identify one John Hayden , a soldier of the Revolution, who served in New Jersey and having moved to Pennsylvania later applied for a pension, from Fayette co. of that state.
That pension was granted; " John Haydon, Private, Annual Allowance of $40.00; received $120.00; New Jersey Militia; placed on the Pension Roll May 8, 1833; Commencement of Pension Mar. 4, 1831; Age 85." See page 154, Report of the Secretary of War, Senate Document 514, Act of Congress, Mar. 18, 1818. Pennsylvania Pension Roll. John Haydon appears on Report of the Secretary of War, Senate Documents, Pension Roll, 1st Session of 23rd Congress from Fayette county Pa.
This man, John Hayden is freely mentioned in the History of Fayette County - Ellis; as an iron manufactor. All of my Hayden ancestors came from Fayette county, and I think one Sarah Hayden Taylor was a daughter of this man. A cousin in Kentucky has a teakettle of iron with the name Sarah Hayden molded in the side., and there are a number of other articles. There were two sons of whom I know, Jacob and Daniel. There were supposed to be 22 children!
Is there anything in the papers connected with the pension that would identify this John Hayden as the same man as the iron manufactor?
I should very much appreciate it if you could give me any information.
Yours Truly,
Frances Shacklett Fast,

I have the honor to ask you to furnish me with the military history of Mr. John Hayden, my great grandfather, a soldier of the Revolutionary War, who served I believe under Colonel Jacob Ford and Captain Josiah Hall in a New Jersey regiment.
I am particularly desirous of finding out whether all the information concerning him will be found in your records, or whether other information will be on file in the records of the War Department.
Very respectfully yours,

Dear Sir-
I desire to obtain a certified Copy of the pension Certificate of Mary Hayden widow of John Hayden. John Hayden was a soldier in the revolutionary war, enlisting May 1. 1776 for a term of six months and at the expiration of that term re-enlisted for a like term - I think he enlisted from the territory now known as Fayette County Pennsylvania but may have been from New Jersey. he was born at Morristown New Jersey Oct. 26. 1749 and died in Fayette County Penna July 24. 1836. his widow Mary Hayden was granted a pension Sept 5. 1849 and died at Hopwood Fayette Co Penna. Octo 14. 1863.
If you will kindly advise me of the cost of a certified Copy

The Chatham Omaha, Neb.
of the pension Certificate I will remit. This Certificate is wanted by a Great Grand daughter of John Hayden who desires to become a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
