I certify that on application for evidence of the service of Isaac Hatch in the war of the Revolution, I have examined the books and documents remaining in this office and do not find the name of the said Hatch on any Pay Roll, nor do I find any Pay Roll of Capt. James Dana's Company, in which it is alleged that the said Hatch served, now in this office.
On the books of the Pay Table Office I find an account with Capt. James Dana commencing March 17 th 1781 , and in which account there are sundry charges to Capt. Dana up to October 1782 amounting to £2503.18. This account is balanced by Capt. Dana's account rendered June 5 th 1782 for £2503.18. Sussie. In one of the charges to Capt. Dana are the following items viz: "To Shoes & Stockings for Genl. Waterbury £49.8." "To Cash for Maj. Fishman £6.6."

J. Minot Esq. Commissioner of Pensions
Dear Sir
In the six following suspended Revolutionary Claims for Bounty Land under the Act of March 3, 1855 Viz. Polly Hatch No 31.649, Lydia Woodworth No. 31.652 Dolly Foster No 31.653, Absibah Waterman, 31.654 Betsy Frink No 31.656 and Jemima Cole No 32.969, I am informed that evidence of the service of the Soldier is required in order that the claims may be favorably considered. I think each of the above named Claimants are now in the receipt of pension for the same service in right of which they claim the Bounty Land, and I supposed when I sent you the claims that the evidence by which their right to Pension was established would be sufficient to support their claims to Bounty Land also, and therefore have made no effort to furnish the "record evidence". The above named Widows do not know the company or regiment in which their husbands served nor do they know the names of Officers under whom they served and some of them cannot tell the State even, from which or in which, the service was rendered. You are aware

That the Massachusetts rolls of Revolutionary service are so kept that they cannot be examined by any widow or attorney, and that a formal application accompanied by a cash fee is required by the Secretary before a certificate of service can be obtained, and I do not know as it will be possible for me to furnish the "record evidence" in the lifetime of the claimants unless you will furnish me with the name of the Officers &c, under whom the husbands of these widows declared they served when their right to pension was established.
I believe there is some law of Congress securing to the widow of a soldier in certain cases the benefit of the evidence furnished by her husband. It is Will you please in these claims give me the information needed in making application for the "record evidence" & name the State from which the soldier served &c. And also certify that you regard me as the Attorney in the several cases named which will enable me to apply for and to furnish the necessary evidence at once. These widows have all waited patiently thus far and now respectfully ask the favor as above stated in order to obtain a speedy allowance of their claims.
Very respectfully

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand on the day & year last above written. Heman Durkee Justice of Peace

East Cobleskill N.Y. January 20th. 1852,
Hon. J. B. Heath Commissioner of Pensions City of Washington
Sir:
Enclosed herewith I send you a Power of Attorney in the case of Polly Hatch widow of Isaac Hatch who is an applicant for a Pension under the act of July 7th. 1838, and its supplements.
In December last additional evidence was filed in support of this claim at which time I received information from the Pension Office that Arad Joy Esq. a Pension Agent had filed a power of Attorney purporting to be from one of the heirs of Mrs. Hatch and representing her as being dead. There is evidently some error in this matter as the old Lady is now living and is smart and well.
I send you the enclosed Power of Attorney which was executed and taken before a Justice of the Peace, to show that the old Lady is not dead but that she is still living. The Power of Attorney filed by Mr. Joy undoubtedly refers to another case.
The evidence filed in December last I think must be conclusive in this case.
The proof of the marriage is sustained by record proof and also by witnesses who were present and saw her married.
The proof of the service consists in the evidence of John Pettigill a Revolutionary soldier and Pensioner who served in the same Company with Isaac Hatch under Capt. James Dana from the Month of March 1781 to the Month of March 1782.
Also the afft. of Solomon Woodworth a Revolutionary soldier & Pensioner who served with said Isaac Hatch in the same Battalion during the said year.

You have also the affidavit on file in this case of Ephraim Wright a deceased soldier and Pensioner who also served with said Heath in said service from March of 1781 to March of 1782. He also states that Heath enlisted again the next year and served one year from the month of March 1782 to the month of March 1783 in the Regt. of Col. Canfield at Horse Neck.
Billings Worden whose afft. is also filed in this case served in the same Company with said Heath from March 1782 to March 1783 in the Company of Capt. Charles Miles and Regt. of Col. Canfield at Horse Neck.
The Reputation of Heath as a Revolutionary soldier has also been shown.
The Certificate of the Comptroller of Connecticut is exhibited showing that Capt. Dana Rec d payments &c. or that accounts were kept with him from the 17th of March 1781 to October 1782 which is about one year and six or eight months of the time claimed.
I hope the proof will be deemed sufficient in this case to ensure a Pension to Mrs. Heath for two years service from March 1781-
