Madam; 

  I advise you that the Elizabeth Knight who is listed in the 1840 Census of Pensioners as living in Coventry, Rhode Island, in 1840, at which time she was ninety years of age, is the same Elizabeth who is recorded in the Revolutionary War pension claim of Robert Knight, W. 13598, the full history of which was furnished you August 25, 1926.

  The only other Elizabeth Knight , widow of Jonathan Knight, W. 36765, whose full history was furnished you March 27, 1928.

Respectfully,

Winfield Scott Commissioner
