Invalid pensioner information, letter from J.L. Edwards
No full textThis set of records, originally intended as page 108 of the unpublished volume of pension rolls and correspondence, includes four items. The first item is a letter, likely addressed to J.R. Black. The writer states that some of the pensioners included in the most recent pension roll submitted have been confirmed to have died, such as John Gibbons (December 6, 1818) and John W. Wilcox (September 4, 1820). The writer wonders whether they should continue to include the names of seven invalid pensioners on the rolls who have never applied for their pensions. The second item is a letter dated January 12, 1826, written by J.L. Edwards and addressed to J.R. Black. Edwards writes that seven invalid pensioners will be continued on Black's roll, but their pension payments will be suspended until further notice from the War Department. Edwards also states that two Revolutionary War pensioners, John Gibbons and Elijah Griffith, and one invalid pensioner, John W. Wilcox, have been stricken from the rolls because they are reported to be deceased. The third item is information on Revolutionary War pensioners and invalid pensioners, such as the deaths of Revolutionary War pensioners James Davis, James Donoho, and Archibald Morton. The fourth item is a letter from J.L. Edwards to J.R. Black, dated March 8, 1826. Edwards states that the pension for Andrew Wallace, Sergeant, has been transferred from Pennsylvania as of March 4, 1826. He is paid $8 per month
