Hon. John C. Calhoun Sec y of War
Sir,
I enclose to you again the papers relative to the application of Jacob Hawley for a pension for Revolutionary services. The proceedings in his case before the Court were in strict conformity with the requirements of the acts of Congress, and I regret that any omissions in making out the papers for your Department, should have made it necessary to trouble you again on the subject - The proof before the Court of the claimants residence, property and the value thereof were ample, and the Court were perfectly satisfied with the fairness of claimants application, and directed the Clerks to enter the proceedings thereon and their opinion of the value of claimants property on the records of the Court, which was accordingly done - The opinion of the Court as to the value of the property exhibited in claimants schedule being entered separate from the other proceedings, the clerk (who is young in office) in making out a certified copy of the proceedings omitted to include that opinion in his certificate and the papers were forwarded without that omission being perceived. The Clerk has now furnished an amended certificate embracing all of the facts in the case, which is subjoined - An affidavit of the claimants residence in Broome County is also annexed. As the law does not point out in what way or where that fact is to be shown, it was thought sufficient to show it by the witnesses who appeared the property before the court when claimant appeared, and that the court were bound to have proof that claimant resided in the County where he appeared before they could take cognizance of the application, and consequently that the proceedings being authenticated entered on the records of the court would afford at least prima facie evidence of claimants residence - It is however presumed that the enclosed affidavit will be sufficient on that point - Mr. Hawley supposing that his original application was rejected, and want of evidence of service has travelled several hundred miles on foot literally "begging his way" to find some of his old comrades in arms to supply proof of service. At length he succeeded in finding two who served with him and recollected him well and willingly made affidavit to his having performed the services required - On obtaining his

original papers however it appears, that want of evidence of service was not the ground of the rejection of that application, but the want of documents in the War department at that time to shew that the regiment he served in was, on the Continental establishment - Those affidavits therefore do not seem to be necessary - I however forward them at the same time respectfully suggesting my opinion that as the claimant exhibited at the time of his original application all the evidence required by the existing laws to be exhibited by him to entitle him to a pension, his certificate should date from the time of that application - The original application is enclosed -
Very Respectfully Your Obedt. Servant
