Rev War Pension Application
Series: M805 Roll: 256 Image: 69 File: S631

According to his Rev War Pension application filed in 1832 he was a
resident of Middlesex Co NJ township of South Amboy. Age 86 years. No
family information is included in his application which was marked Invalid.

I have a copy from a page of "Selected Final Pension Payment Vouchers-New Jersey". Page 133. It states the following:
Davison, James NJ 1832

Middlesex Co., N.J., 5 Sep 1837, James Savison [s] (former private in Rev., resident of South Amboy Twp. for more than 40 years, appoints Samuel Beebee atty to collect pension due from 4 Mar to
4 Sep 1837;sworn before John Perrine Jr. J.P.[s]; witnesses
Jacob H. Watters [s] and Isaac Devoe [s].
Trenton, 18 Sep 1837, Samuel Beebee [s] collected $21.66; his
oath heard same date by Saml. Evans J.P. [s] of Hunterdon Co.

Would this be a one time payment, as he was near death and did pass September 29, 1837? Or was he in fact getting a pension?

Any help deeply appreciated.
