Dear Sir:
You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W.3983, that Noble Gunn enlisted in the State of Massachusetts, in January, 1777, served as a private in Captain Jenkins' Company, Colonel Samuel Brewer's Massachusetts Regiment, was in the battles of Bemus Heights and Monmouth and was discharged in January, 1780. He stated that he received wounds while in the service, nature of such wounds and engagements in which they were received not shown; he also stated that his knee was broken while in the Revolution.

Both parents of Lucy

Gleeson Gunn were living at the time of her marriage, their names do not appear.
Soldier's widow, Lucy, died March 19, 1843, in Kingsville, Ashtabula County, Ohio. Lucy Jones, the oldest child of Noble and Lucy Gunn, stated that her mother was fifteen years of age in August before her own birth, which occurred December 21, 1786. Westrull W. Gunn stated that his mother was aged sixty-nine years and five months when she died.

The State of Ohio } Be it known, that before me Ashtabula County ss. } Lovel E. Parker a justice of the peace in and for the County aforesaid duly authorized by law to administer oaths personally appeared Noble Gunn, Westrull W. Gunn, & William O. Gunn, children of Lucy Gunn, deceased, and made oath in due form of law that they are the identical Noble Gunn, Westrull W. Gunn, & William O. Gunn, named in an original pension certificate now in the hands of W. B. Wade of Rose, in the County of Wayne and State of New York. Mr Wade informed us by letter that sent to said Lovel E. Parker J. P. that he had the certificate in his possession and that it was issued on the 30 th day of April 1850, and requested us to execute papers for him to obtain our shares of the pension due us on said certificate, which we refused to do on account of his never being employed by us or either of us, we had J. Hathaway for our Agent long before we ever heard of Mr Wade and we believe that said Hathaway has been to nearly all the trouble and expence in procuring the grant of said pension, our Sister Lucy Jones who is also named in said certificate resided in the State of New York & without doubt engaged Mr Wade as her agent in the case and thereby he succeeded in getting the Certificate into his possession and we believe that he withholds the Certificate for the purpose of keeping us out of

our shares of the pension perhaps thinking thereby to compel us to execute papers to him to draw our shares which we shall not do as he has no claim on us for anything he may have done in this matter. Two of us are on the eve of starting for Wisconsin to wit Westull W. Gunn & William O. Gunn, and very much need their shares of this pension to defray the expenses of the journey and will feel themselves very much in- jured if they are longer delayed in this matter, they believe the pension due their mother is $80. per annum, under the act of July 7 th 1838, & March, 3 rd 1843 that they now reside in Wayne, in said Ashtabula Co. =nty, and State of Ohio, and have resided in said County about twenty eight years past, and that previous thereto the family resided in Onondaga Co. in the State of New York: Of the truth of which statements I am fully satisfied.

When Westrell W. Gunn made his Declaration there was five surviving children of said Sarah and at that time Noble H. Gunn resided in Hiram Portage County Ohio but has since moved to Wayne Astubal County and one of the children of said Sarah has since died & now only four surviving now living which accounts for the deferance between the statements of Westrell W.

Sir
I herewith send further proof in the case of the surviving children of Mrs Lucy Gunn, widow of Noble Gunn, which is in compliance with the requirements contained in your letter to Elliott & Hathaway under date of July 9 th 1846, except marriage proof, which I expect has been forwarded to your office by Mrs Jones or her attorney W. G. Wade Esqr. In your letter of July 9 th 1846 to Elliott & Hathaway you stated as follows to wit; "Noble Gunn, was originally pensioned upon his own statement without having produced such evidence of service as the rules of this department now require hence it will be necessary in the present case to produce the certificate of the Secretary of State of Massachusetts in support of the allegations of service;" not giving any statement of Noble Gunn's alleged service which was thought by E. & H. to have been unintentionally omitted, and on the 22 d of said July E. & H. wrote to you and requested you to furnish them with a statement of said Noble Gunn's alleged service and received your answer under date of August 29 th 1846, as follows to wit; "in reply to your letter of the 22 d ultimo respecting the claim of Lucy Gunn you are informed that the parties interested have employed an other attorney, who is now in correspondence with this office in relation to it," soon after E. & H. received a letter dated Rose New York over the signature of W. G. Wade, alleging that he had been employed in the case by Mrs Jones and had received a letter from J. L. Edwards Commr of Pensions dated August 29/46, stating as follows to wit; "in the case of Lucy Gunn, deceased three years service of her husband Noble Gunn is admitted," if Mr Wade's statement is true I ask to be informed the reason why E. & H. was required to make proof from the records at Boston Mass, without a statement of the alleged service of Noble Gunn, and to Mr Wade readily admitted, I have stated the facts as they appear from the said letters now before me. I herewith send the certificate from three of the surviving children of Mrs Lucy Gunn which shows that E. & H. was duly authorized attorneys for them in the case, and Mr Wade does not in his letter to E. & H. pretend that they ever employed him or corresponded with him in any shape. I now have the whole business of E. & H. and write in my own manner.

Sir,
Enclosed is further proof in the claim of Lucy Gunn dec d . - - asserted from Ohio - which so fully and clearly corroborates every statement heretofore made, I doubt not it will be perfectly satisfactory to the Department. -
I would beg leave to state that the persons whose affidavits have been forwarded in this claim, are of the highest character, and that the most implicit confidence can and should be placed in their statements, - that there can not be the least doubt, as to the record forwarded, - but what it is, as asserted, as the family have another record very nicely prepared, and forwarded - which they have had for many years, (although not as long as the one forwarded) - - which shows the dates of the events re- corded, to be the same, as on the other,
The statement of Noble Gunn, that his wife Lucy was but 45 years old in 1820, is readily accounted for - this statement

having been made in June. - before the month of August, in which she was fifteen, and in the same year that her daughter Lucy was born, which she asserts was as shown by the record, in Dec r . 1786.
Lucy Jones states that they were many times taken to be Sisters, by people upon their first acquaintance, on ac- count of her mother having been so young.

I am well acquainted, & have been for many years with Lucy Jones, wife of Thomas Jones of Anna Ralls. The day before I left home she told me that she was was born the 31 st day of Decmber 1786 that she will be 63 years old the 31 st day of Decmber 1849. That she was married the 12 th day of October 1804 That her oldest child was born the 4 th day of Nov. 1805 That Mindwell Jones, who lives in Springport Cayuga Co New York was present at her marriage.
That it always has been said in the family her father & mother were married about a year before her birth, which she believes to be true.
Mrs Lucy Jones is a woman of entire respectability, worthy of full credit. Her husband is a respectable man & she has a family of highly respectable children. I have no doubt of the truth of her statements made to me in relation to her age, birth & the time of her parents marriage.

Sir
I forwarded to you on the 10 th day of April March last further proof in the claim of the children of Mrs. Lucy Gunn deceased, who was the widow of Noble Gunn. I am the duly authorized agent of three of the children all of which reside in Ohio, there being one living in the state of New York, to wit, Mrs. Lucy Jones, who has a Mr. Wade of the state of New York acting for her, the children here called on me and informed me that Mr. Wade has sent to them and informed them that through his great perser- -sion & perseverance and at great expence procured the pension due their mother at her decease and ask them to pay him for his time and expences which they are now willing to do. Two of said children are now in my office and say that they never employed said Wade in no way in their behalf but state that Mr. Wade sent to them a short time ago and requested them to send him an affidavit of the date of their said mothers decease which they did but that they never employed nor agreed to pay.

one cent. I do not understand why the certificate should be sent to Mr Wade but per- haps it is as it should be. You stated to me in your letter to me of March Nov. 29 th 1846, that if I furnished the required proofs I should be entitled to the certificate unless otherwise directed. I think that I have furnished the proof and it is now my opinion that Mr Wade has made some statement to the department that has induced the department to send the certificate to him or that as he has corresponded some in the case the certificate was sent him through a mistake. I wish the department to inform me at its earliest convenience whether Mr Wade or myself furnished the required proof all I want is credit for what I have done and if it was not due me that I should have the certificate forwarded to me I am satisfied but that fact I desire to know, all that the three children here ask for, is their share without being subjected to pay Mr Wade whom they never employed nor expected to pay. Very Respectfully your Obedient Servant.

I am under the necessity of once more addressing you on the subject of the pension due Mrs. Lucy Gunn at her decease, three of her children reside here and I have been their agent in the investigation of the claim and they have had no other agent, there is papers filed in your office that goes to show that fact, one of her children resides in the State of New York who has for her agent N. G. Wade Esq. of Roose St. York. Mr. Wade informs me by letter (after he tried to get the children here to make papers to him for to draw their shares of the pension which they refused to do,) that he had the certificate which was issued on the 30 th day of April, 1850 payable at Pittsburgh Pa. I then wrote Mr. Wade that I would forth with send the vouchers of the children that reside here to Pittsburgh, that they might obtain their share as soon as he sent Mrs. Jones' voucher with the pension certificate but it appears that Mr. Wade after finding he could not get the children here to make papers to him to draw their share of the pension, he withheld the certificate. The children here made their voucher on the 20 th day of June last which I forwarded to Pittsburgh for payment, and have just rec d . a reply from the agent addressed to Thos. R. Holmes Esq. who presented the papers, under date of Aug st 15 th 1850. requiring that the certificate must be copied into the voucher and must be surrendered up before any payment can be made. Now Sir the children here have not the certificate therefore they cannot surrender it up if they had of had it it would of been done long ago all they want is their share of the pension it is now nearly four months since the certificate was issued, I ask the Department to

to direct what steps the children here must take in order to obtain their share of the pension. I have stated the facts in the case and hope to receive an answer as soon as consistent for the Department to reply—

Said Gun and his widow were both residents of Ashtabula County Ohio. we are requested to act as agents in said case. Respectfully Yours Elliott and Hathaway

I hereby Certify, That, from an examination of the Books and Documents, relating to Military Services in the War of the Revolution, which remain in this Department, it appears that the name of Noble Gunn, is borne upon an Account in Army Books, as a private of Sheffield, in Capt. Sawall's Company, Col. Sprout's Regt., and there credited by his services, from January 5. 1777 to December 31. 1779. 35 Months and 26 days. — at $40 per Month. — Upon an Order on Treasurer for pay "for Service performed in a detachment of Militia for 3 Months, in the regt. commanded by Lt. Col. Sears, and in the Company of Capt. Jeremiah Nickock, the last Campaign." — Said order is dated. Sheffield. April. 1. 1782. — The only roll of said Capt. Nickock's Company, Col. Sears's regt., in this office, is the one showing evidence of 3 months and 7 days service, from Aug. 6. 1781

upon which the name of said Gunn, is not borne.
The preceding is all the evidence of service of any one of the name shown by the Military Records in this Office.
