Sir - I beg leave to trouble you once more, with the Pension Papers, in relation to the application of Olive Hall:-
From a letter from the Agent at Washington, I find that there was a deficiency of proof, as required by the Rules & Laws, of the time of Marriage , - and of the time of entering & leaving the service , and Capacity or office , in which Hall, served, or held, during the service:-
The affidavit of C. Heat, supported by Sibley & Savin, shows the time Hall entered service , when discharged , & the office or degree held by him:-
The affidavit of Enos Stone, shows - when Moses Hall, & Olive Hall were married - in 1789. - corroborated by Circumstances & facts, " which cannot lie " -
& that there were no family records of the marriage etc:-
Enclosed is the Certificate of Town Clerk of Seneca, where Hall entered, which shows no facts of the same:-
By which it may be seen, that, we have examined all the facts that could be obtained:-
Enos Stone is supported by Messrs. Griffin, & Pitkin, - all respectable men - etc.
You will please add your Certificate of the facts etc. within your knowledge:- of the character of Messrs Stone, Pitkin & Griffin:- also, that I am Clerk, etc. & that all the papers are genuine, & entitled to credit etc. & present them to the Pension Department etc. Yrs. etc. John C. Nash

Sir:
I take the liberty of enclosing to you vouchers, in the case of Olive Hall, and would respectfully request that instructions may be sent to the Agent at Albany to pay over the amount due.
The vouchers have been presented to the Pension Agent, and he refuses to pay the amount due for the reasons assigned by him, written in pencil upon the margin of the paper.
I would ask your attention to those objections, and would respectfully submit that they are utterly frivolous and unreasonable.
The fact that more is put into the vouchers than was absolutely necessary does not vitiate the paper in any respect, and the objection as to the date of the joint has no foundation, for in the line just above it the date is mentioned.

Sir
I am now in the receipt of a pension of Eight Dollars per month under the Act relative to Revolutionary Soldiers passed March 18 th 1818. I conceive I am entitled to an increased pension under the late Act of Congress "Supplementary to the Act for the relief of certain surviving officers & Soldiers of the Revolution" Approved June 7 th 1832. and do accordingly apply for such increased pension. I was a Sergeant in the Regiment called the American Regiment commanded by Col Henry H. Jackson as will appear from my Discharge now in the Pension Office. I now reside in the Town of Brighton County of Monroe and State of New York. I enclose my pension Certificate in compliance with the instructions issued by the Secretary of War and in case I obtain an increased pension, I do relinquish any further claim to the pension I now receive under the Act of March 18-1818 and to any annuity or pension which I now receive under any Law of the United States providing for Revolutionary officers & Soldiers.
I am respectfully,
