R19362 Isaac Bowman
Southern Campaigns American Revolution Pension Statements and Rosters Pension Application of Isaac Bowman R19362 VA Transcribed and annotated by C. Leon Harris. Revised 14 Oct 2017. [The following printed document appears to contain all the information in several other documents in the file that are not transcribed here. Originals of some of the documents referred to are transcribed below from rejected claims in the Library of Virginia.] ISAAC S. BOWMAN [son of Isaac Bowman] & GEORGE BRINKER, Surviving Executors of ISAAC BOWMAN, deceased, v. THE UNITED STATES. Judge BLACKFORD delivered the opinion of the court. This claim was presented to the Treasury Department in 1834, and was rejected by the Secretary, Mr. Woodbury, on the ground that the evidence was not deemed sufficient in the absence of all record proof of the testator's services. In March, 1853, the case was submitted to Mr. Heath, the Commissioner of Pensions, and the claim was rejected. In September, 1853, the case was submitted to Mr. Waldo, the Commissioner of Pensions, and the claim was again rejected. In October, 1853, the decision of Commissioner Waldo was affirmed by the Secretary of the Interior, Mr. McClelland. A petition was afterwards presented to Congress in favor of the claim. On the 13th of February, 1854, the Senate Committee on Pensions made a favorable report, submitting the following resolution : "Resolved, that the claim of Isaac Bowman, legal representative of Isaac Bowman, deceased, for half-pay due his father under the act of the general assembly of Virginia of May, 1779, be referred to the Secretary of the Interior for liquidation, under the act of Congress of July 6, 1832, and that the Committee on Pensions be discharged from the further consideration of the case." That resolution was adopted by the Senate. -

The German Element of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia
The German Element of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia By JOHN WALTER WAYLAND, B. A., Ph. D. Assistant and Fellow in History, University of Virginia. Member of the Virginia Historical Society, the Southern History Association, and the Pennsylvania-German Society This Monograph has been accepted by the Faculty of the University of Virginia as satisfying the requirements in original research for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Published by the Author The Michie Company, Printers Charlottesville, Va. 1907 379856 R 1907 Copyright 1907 by John W. Wayland • • • • • * « , . - , Preface. One who was born in the Shenandoah Valley, who has dwelt there during the greater portion of his life to the present, and who is by blood three-fourths German or German-Swiss, may doubtless be excused for writing about the German Ele- ment in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. He may also be excused, perhaps, for regarding such a subject as naturally attractive, and for believing that it is well worthy of careful investigation. As a matter of fact, the field has proved most fruitful : so much so that the writer has been surprised at the abundance and wealth of material that may be secured for historical, economical, sociological, political, religious, linguis- tic, and even literary studies. He hastens to say, however, for the reassurance of the reader, that he has not attempted to follow out all these lines of investigation in the present treatise : what he has attempted is merely a plain, unvarnished picture of the people in their homes, in their churches, in their schools, in their fields and workshops, and in the larger re- lations of church and state as affected by peace and war. -
