Henry Hines, of Virginia, private, served one year, commencing in 1779 - first schedule, dated 15 th August 1820, contains real estate, 50 acres of poor land - one young horse - one young steer - one sow & 5 shoats - old household furniture - old shovel, hoe, &c. estimated at $324. 69. - At a subsequent court, held in December 1821, it was unanimously ordered to be certified that the property contained in the schedule annexed to Hines's declaration was worth no more than $166. 33 3/4 - and it was further certified that Hines was unable to subsist without the aid of his country. The Hon. P. P. Barbour in a letter to the Dept. says, "This case is one of the extremest hardship: Mr. Hines is in the most abject poverty - the error consisted in the overvaluation of a few acres of land as sterile as the heaths of Scotland. You will find
by examining the record now sent, that it was made when the court were very full; when three justices who had been present on the former occasion were then present and concurred; that the whole court was unanimous; that the second valuation was made on the report of two of the court, & upon full reconsideration - it seems to me that it is impossible for a stronger or harder case to exist." The claimant is a farmer, aged 71 - wife 61, unhealthy - son, 22, lost the use of one leg by a cut on the knee.

Dear Sir,
Wash. Feb. 20 th 1823.
I send you enclosed, a document in the case of Henry Bines of Louisa (Virginia) who has been stricken off the pension roll: Altho' one in this situation is not entitled upon circumstances happening afterwards, yet that principle does not apply to a case like this of an error in the original valuation; indeed I understand you to state this as the line of discrimination. This case is one of the extreme hardship; Mr. Bines is in the most abject poverty. The Error consisted in the overvaluation of a few acres of land as sterile as the heaths of Scotland. You will find by examining the record now sent, that it was made, when the local court were very full; when three justices who had been present on the former occasion were then present and concurs; that the whole court was

unanimous, that the said valuation was made on the report of two of the Court, and upon full reconsideration; it seems to me then, that it is impossible for a stronger or harder case to exist. I trust Sir, you will see the most decisive reason for reinstating them on the Union roll, and of course I presume to go back, to the date of the former proceedings. As the Session will soon close, I will thank you, to answer me upon this subject, as well as in relation to the credits, about which I wrote you, some days ago.
I have the honor to be Respectfully yours &c J. H. Barlow
