Department of the Interior,
Washington, June 18. 1849.
Sir,
I return herewith, the papers - numbered 1 and 2, - in the case of Susannah Hogg, widow of Mr. Hogg, dec d ; which accompanied your report of the 14 th inst t , and also those numbered from 1 to 13 inclusive - in the case of Goldsberry Childers, which were sent on the 16 th inst pursuant to my request -
From your report, the only question which seems to exist in this case, is as to the termination of Hogg's period of service, and reference having been made by Mrs Hogg to Goldsberry Childers (one of her husband's comrades) whose service - according to his own declaration - terminated in October or November 1778 - you infer that John Hogg's service terminated at the same time, which was previous to his marriage -
On examining the testimony in the case of Childers, I perceive a discrepancy in his statements as regards the date of his enlistment - it being stated as 1778 as well as 1776, and that Sam l McKee, the son of Capt n W m McKee, in whose Company said Childers served, testifies that according to a Book kept by said Capt n McKee, Childers enlisted in 1777, and

was paid for two years services -
Under all the circumstances, I regard the testimony of Saml McKee as the most reliable, and am of opinion that Childers' period of service terminated in November 1779. Therefore, if Mrs Hogg's claim rests upon after the single point stated, I think she is entitled to the benefits of the act of July 4, 1836 -
I am Sir,
Very respectfully Mr. Ob. Ferrant

Dear Sir
I have received yours of the 11 inst and hasten to enclose you a certificate of the settlement of John Hogg.

Com d of Pensions
Sir.
In the matter of Mrs Jusannah Hoff widow of John Hoff, I beg to call your attention to the only point in the case which prevents your favourable action - "by" the identity of the John Hoff who served with the John Hoff who was the husband of the Claimant. The declaration of Mrs Hoff shews that she was the wife of John Hoff, who perform- ed service in the Revolutionary war, that he served under Capt M c Ken, and she says that one Goolsberry Childers was a messmate of her husband. The records in your office shew that one Goolsberry Childers did serve in Capt M c Ken's company, and that he is now receiving a pension - besides this the Certificate of Jas E Heath Esq d . Auditor of Virginia shews that Certificates were issued to John Hoff & Goolsberry Childers about the same time, as members

of Capt M c Key's company. This circumstance facts clearly, as I think identifies for  born Hoff the soldier in Capt M c Key's Company to have been the husband of Mrs. Fasanah Hoff the present Clemency.
With great respect Your obed Servt Joseph Bryan

Washington City June 4 th 1849.
Sir.
Your letter of Rejection of the 1 st Inst in the case of Mrs Susanah Hogg is received and in reply to your first objection, I have to state that I consider her declaration made in strict conformity to the regulations of the department in which you will observe that it is provided in case the declarant is not able to appear in open court by reason of bodily infirmity &c the declaration may be taken before a judge or justice of a court of record. (See regulations pension documents page 49. Rule 9 th & 10 th ) the declaration in this case was taken before a justice of a court of record as there is no distinction according to the laws of Tennessee between a justice of the peace and a justice of a court of record as the justices of the peace compose the County Court which court is a court of record and has by law a public seal and each member thereof is authorized to administer oaths. Moreover I considered this point settled or made satisfactory to you by the statement of the Hon. Judge Anderson of Tennessee which statement I think you will find on file with the papers in the case of Mrs Catharine Knose for a pension and which claim was allowed by you in the year 1846 I think.

and to require of this class of claimants to make their declaration before a judge of the circuit court they would have as a matter of course to get the judge to attend at their house to qualify them. Would I doubt be more than they could at all times do. The judge knowing at the same time that there were justices of the peace in each district of the county who were members of the county court and who had the same right to administer oaths;
This old Lady Mrs Hoogg is now but little short of 100 years of age and has not walked a step in 8 or 10 years and now Sir to require of her to attend at the courthouse of her county to make this declaration before a judge of a court does seem to me would amount to an entire withholding from her of the benefit of the law which I hope you will not insist on. In reply to the second objection I have to state that declarant has complied with the regulation as near as could be expected of her at this late day as prescribed (See Rule 4 & 5) in which it is required of her to give the facts to the best of her recollection. She states to the best of her recollection that the captain's name was M c Kee but the other officer she could not recollect. This you will discover is corroborated to a certain extent by reference to Mr Heath's certificate in which he states that the final settlement certificate of John Hoogg. was delivered to Col. M c Kee but whether he was a Col. or Captain in the days of the Revolution I suppose the records will show but admit the

fact that he was a Col instead of a Captain as the old Lady States is it not more than probable that she at this late day might make such mistake and yet the claim be a meritorious one;
As regards the identity of the person of her husband with the John Hogg who performed the Service as exhibited on the Records I do not see how she is to make it plainer or why you require so much more of her than you have heretofore required of Widows of Soldiers of the Va line as by reference to the case of Mrs Elizabeth D Samson  Samson Widow of Wm Samson who you allowed a pension of $120. a year when the case to me did not seem by far as plain a case as this unless the facts can be and which I believe would be more plain if you will refer to the papers upon which Goolberry Chitwood was allowed a pension who Mrs Hogg says was a Mip Mate of her husband in the Service and who was allowed a pension of $80. per year on the 18th October 1832 and who I think then lived in Garrard County Ky this may not be the same Goolberry Chitwood but I suppose he is as he seems to have belonged to the Va line;
As regards the proof of her Marriage as being previous to the expiration of the Service of her husband I do not see why you can doubt that as she States that she was married in 1779 and produces to you her old family record which shows in letters and figures unalterable at this

that her first child was born in the year 1780 and the Service claimed for all or nearly all claimed to have been performed after that date and this family record is identified as being the one original family record by the affidavit of Mrs Armstrong who stands before you as a respectable witness and as regards the first objection made in your letter I would in addition to what I have stated above relative to taking the declaration before a justice of the peace state that I have presented sundry other claims to you heretofore for similar pensions all of which claims was invariably taken before a justice of the peace and which claims you have allowed without making this objection with the exception of Mrs Knox's claim which was made satisfactory to you as above mentioned, I therefore request that you will again examine this case yourself when I think you will find all satisfactory.
Respectfully your the Servant
Col James S Edwards. Mrs E. Jones Comrs of Pensions Washington city
