BA-J/ILL Jacob Heady S. 2288
My dear Senator Connally:
Reference is made to your request of November 24, in behalf of Mr. Frank H. Watt of Waco, Texas, who desires the Revolutionary War record of Jacob Hedden who was born in July 1750, in North Carolina, served in the troops from that state, a part of the time against the Cherokee Indians and Tories, and died in 1834 in Spencer County, Kentucky.
There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War of a Jacob Hedden, Headen, Hayden, Haden, etc.
A claim for pension has been found based upon service of a Jacob Heady in that war, to whom Mr. Watt's description seems somewhat applicable. The record of that soldier follows as shown in pension claim, S. 2288, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
Jacob Heady was born in July 1750, in North Carolina; the names of his parents and the exact place of his birth are not shown.
While a resident of North Carolina, Jacob Heady served two tours of three months each as a private; the first tour was in 1780, in Captain Boyd Cobb's company, Colonel Christie's North Carolina regiment, engaged against the Cherokee Indians; the other tour was in Major Benjamin Herndon's battalion of North Carolina troops, from which he was discharged shortly after the battle of Guilford. He served also at other times against the Tories, amounting to a few months, names of officers not stated.
Jacob Heady was allowed pension on his application executed

November 8, 1833, at which time he resided in Spencer County, Kentucky. He made no reference to wife or children.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name of person paid and, possibly, the date of death of this person - since, Mr. Watt's letter, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, this city, and furnish the following data:

Dr Sir. I enclose you the Declaration of Jacob Heady for a pension under the act of 7 th June 1832. together with his amended affieavit & the thereto appended under the instructions of the war Department which are herewith inclosed.
Mr. Heady is very old and infirm both in body and mind. He states in his amendment that he served nine months. in his Declaration he states two tours of 3. months each. and a number of tours against the Tories "in all duration three months." upon this point I brought his mind to bear particularly. and he says, he knows that he served nearer "six months" than "three" in those short tours against the Tories, but by way of caution he directed the person who drafted his original Declaration to say "three months." as he could with a clear conscience swear to having served to that length of time. hence it is that in his amended Declaration, he states positively having served "six months in 1780." and "three months in 1781. making in all nine months. I have made this statement in order to remove any doubts which might arise from a supposed discrepancy between the original & amended Declaration.
I have no doubt myself of his having been a Soldier of the Revolution, I have no doubt if he was capable of bringing his mind to bear upon the subject, he would be able to detail satisfactorily a much longer term of service than is stated in his Declaration. I suppose he could procure the evidence of one hundred witnesses who would depose as to their belief of his having been a Soldier of the revolution. & of his being a man of veracity. I hope Sir you will take up the case & decide upon it immediately. I think it is now presented very fairly and the man is very poor. and needs the liberality of

his Government of which he is a meritorious subject.
Please inclose his pay certificate, directed to him or myself whichever you please.
Yours very Respectfully

Dear Sir:
I received certified photostatic copies of original papers in Revolutionary War pension claim, S.2288, of Jacob "Heady" that were mailed to me, as stated in your letter of March 15th.
When ordering the copies, I was especially anxious that the answers made by the applicant to the questions submitted in the application for the pension, be included. But I find they were not. They may have been omitted by error.
Thomas Newman, a Justice of the Peace in Spencer County, Kentucky, who, it appears from the copies sent me, assisted in the matter, says in his statement, "after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department, Etc."
Please advise me if there is an additional cost for furnishing the information referred to above and, if so, the amount of same.
Yours truly,

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Isaac Headly which require further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? yes II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? yes III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so? IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served? no V. * Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled? no VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? yes VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? yes VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? yes IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? yes X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal? yes

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service? yes
XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it? 17
XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had?
Testimonial evidence
XIV. † If the applicant has produced a witness or witnesses as to his service, has the magistrate who administered the oath certified that he, she, or they are persons of credibility? yes
Has the official character and signature of the magistrate been certified by the proper officer under his seal of office? yes
XV. Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age, as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service?
XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? yes
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? 1 2 4 6 7 Not ans.
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
* QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
# "Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades: For _____ year _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____. For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which the applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable.
†QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
†QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticated the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the end of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.

Dear Sir:
Answering your letter of April 30, 1928, in the matter of Jacob Heady-S 2288 North Carolina Troops, I am enclosing P. O. Order in the sum of $1.45 for photostatic copies of the original papers on file in the Revolutionary War claim. The mail order includes 25 cents for certification.
Thanking you very kindly for your assistance to me, I am,
Sincerely yours,

Carlos W. Golts, 228 Davidson Building, Sioux City, Iowa.
Sir:
I advise you that photostatic copies of original papers on file in the Revolutionary War pension claim of Jacob Heady (S. 2388), North Carolina troops, will be furnished you under the provisions of the Act of August 24, 1912 at the rate of fifteen cents a page, with twenty-five cents extra for certification if that is desired.
The number of pages to be copied is eight.
The proper amount should be forwarded to this bureau by money order drawn to the order of the Secretary of the Interior.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the name of person paid and possibly the date of soldier's death, you should apply to the Records Division, General Accounting Office, Washington, D. C., citing the following data: "Jacob Heady, Certificate Number 22210, issued October 18, 1833, rate $30.00 per annum, commenced March 4, 1831, Act of June 7, 1832, Kentucky Agency".
Owing to the very large number of inquiries similar to

urs and the lack of a clerical force available for the purpose, the bureau is unable to make immediate reply to each request pertaining to soldiers of the Revolution.
Letters are being answered as rapidly as possible in the order of receipt.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT, Commissioner.

Dear Sir:
Heretofore I wrote your office regarding information of my great, great grand-father, Jacob Heady, a soldier in the War of the Revolution, from North Carolina. At the time he made application for pension he was living in Spencer County, Kentucky. I desire certified copies of all records you have regarding him. If you will advise me as to the necessary amount of your charges, I will remit the same in advance.
The last letter I wrote to you in regard to this matter remains unanswered, and I will surely appreciate a response to this one.
Sincerely yours,
