Pension Office,
March 25 1854.
Sir,
In reply to your communication of the 13 th instant I have the honor to state that upon careful examination it does not appear that any application was ever made for pension for revolutionary services by Benjamin Haggett from the State of Maine. It is possible that he applied from some other State. If so it should be named to enable us to make the necessary search, for his papers.
The soldier in this case, having died 8 th November 1830 and his widow 29 th February 1832, his children - not his - would be entitled to such amount as he would have was entitled to under the Act of June 7, 1832, that is from the 24 th March 1831 to the date of his death. They would not be entitled to the amount to which and for the time to which he would have been entitled under the act of March 18, 1818. The widow not having lived till the passage of the act of 4 th July 1836 (the first act authorizing widows to be placed on

the pension coll) there are no arrear due in her right; although, if now living, she would be entitled to the arrear due her husband at his death instead of his children
Very respectfully g c

Sir:-
Benjamin Haggett of Edgecomb, Maine, a revolutionary soldier filed an application, dated April 14 th 1818, for a pension, which I am informed by his heirs was disallowed. Will you inform me the grounds upon which it was disallowed, if such was the fact?—
Said Haggett died at Edgecomb Nov 8 th 1830 and his widow died Feb 29 th 1832.
Will the office allow an arrear of pension to the heirs of Haggett, under the law of 1818, from the date of his application, to the day of his death, if service be satisfactorily established?—
2 d . Will the office allow

an arrear of pension, to the Heirs of the widow of Haggett, from the date of His death, to the day of Her death? under the law of June 7 th 1832 &c
An early answer as convenient so that I may com- municate with the Heirs, will much oblige
Yours Respectfully E. M. Harley
