Report of the committee on Pensions on the petition of Eveline Dill for a pension December 7, 1852. Report agreed to. G. W. Williams
South Carolina Audited Accounts
Roll 34, Frames. 625-626
The committee on Pensions to whom was referred the petition of Eveline Dill praying that her name be placed on the pension roll of this state beg leave to repeat That it appears from the statement of the Petitioner, her husband, Runnels Dill was a revolutionary pensioner of the State and died 27 October 1844. It is further stated that the petitioner was married to said Runnels Dill 6th July 1830. The act of 1834 under which alone widows of revolutionary pensioners are entitled to draw a pension expressly limits the benefits under it to the widows of commissioned non-commissioned Officers & privates who served in the State during the revolutionary war, who were married at any time during the service of such officer or private. The Act further directs that in applications to the Legislature for a pension, the Petitioner must show that he or she has made application to the United States & the result of it or show sufficient causes for not making such application. The petition is silent as to any application to the United States or any reason why it was not made & the Petitioner was married to her husband long after the period of his last service. Your committee therefore recommend that the prayer of the Petitioner be not granted – Respectfully submitted
