Pension Office,
Feb 6. 1855,
Sir,
I have filed the application of George B. Henning, who is styled 'one of the legal heirs' of Conrad Henning, claiming arrears of pension due to said Conrad. As to George B. Henning is one of the children of Conrad, and his widow Mary Magdalena, the application can be received. If not, a new declaration should be made by one of Conrad's children, or any one of the claimants and one of persons who may be due part  only part to children only ; grand children, or any other collateral heirs, having no claim. It will however assure no practicable progress to present another declaration, unless the same claimed to have been rendered of Conrad & established according to the regulations, herewith submitted - for there

is no evidence of her service in this office, and it is doubted whether she served as alleged.
If the claim of Comstock is established under the act of June 7, 1832, under which it has been filed, the question as to whether her widow has, or was not entitled, at her death, which is stated to have taken place on the 4 th of May 1837, would depend upon the date of her marriage. If married prior to the expiration of her husband's service, her claim would be embraced by the act of July 4, 1836, but if not then married, she would have no claim when she died which can be disputed by her children.
See the regulations under the acts of June 7, 1832 and July 4, 1836, heretofore.
