Enclosed I present you the claim of the children of Sarah Hill, widow of Jonathan Hill dec d . of Massachusetts, for an increase of Pension.
It is claimed that said Jonathan Hill dec d . served as a non-commissioned officer. I presume the rolls in your office will show the fact if so.
Under the act of 1818, Hill does not mention his grade in his declaration. The grade was not material under that act, as a non-commissioned officer got no more pension than a private.
