Brief in the case of Mary Hathaway widow of James. Rutland County and State of Vermont. act 3 d Feb: 1853.
110. 67 Claim, ("original" or "for increase.") Increased from $96. per An: to $ 110. 67 per An: under 2 d Sec: of the Act of Feb: 3 d 1853. Proof exhibited, (if original.)
Is it documentary, traditional, or supported by rolls? If either, state the substance. Husband was pensioned under the Acts of 18 th March, 1818 & 1 st May, 1820. at the rate of $96. per An: as a Sergeant in Rhode Island Cont t Line. He claimed to have enlisted under Col. Green & Capt. Clark, the 1 st day of May, 1777 & to have served under said Officer, as a Sergeant in the R. Island Cont t Line until the Spring of 1779. The Office found by examination of the proofs in the case, that he did so serve & in this Conclusion they were sustained by the rolls of the Cont t Line of Rhode Island upon file in this Office. (If for increase.)
From which it appears, that he enlisted as a Sergeant under Col. Green & Capt. Clark, May, 1 st 1777 & served until the 4 th March, 1779 as a Sergeant, when he was honorably discharged.
The Claimant was pensioned under the act of Feb: 3 d 1853. at the rate of $96. per An: Had the Soldier lived until after the passage of the Act of June, 7 th 1832. he would have been entitled to a pension of $110. 67 per An: The Widow is, consequently allowed this pension, deducting former payment, at $96. per An: Husband's Marriage, husband's death, widowhood & identity is clearly established & Certificate of pension under act 1832 is surrendered.

Washington, Aug 24, 1858,
Sir:
I respectfully ask for a reexamination of the claim of Mary Hathaway, widow of James, Vt, 2 d section Act Feb. 3 d 1853, and for an increase of her pension.
Her husband was a S gt . and served over three years in the Continental line. It is believed the widow is entitled to $170 per annum, instead of $96, which she now receives.
This is one of the cases I have pending in the Court of Claims, and I have a power of Atty. which I will file,
Very respectfully
Your obed serv
J. J. Coombs
Geo C. Whitney Esq
