Dear Sir

Since writing to you I have by accident at this court met with an old gentleman who was acquainted with Lieut. Cader Parker Dec'd and with all the circumstances relative to my  being one of the Legitimate heirs of said Parker, (however I have a brother) and his examination was taken and recorded in court, a copy of which I inclose which I presume on examination the Secretary of War will feel no hesitation in issuing a warrant upon that evidence which you will please forward to me at Hillsborough - It will be required by the Secretary that you sign a receipt for the same
Your compliance will
much oblige a Friend

Dear Sir

The letter from Mr. Cutting to you I have received, saying the evidence of my being the lawful heir of Lieiut. Cader Parked Dec'd (of the Revolutionary army) has never been received at the war department, which I mentioned I had sent to James S. Smith our former representative - I mentioned the subject to that gentleman last night & he says the evidence is in the office accompanied with a letter from the Hon'l N. Macon which was handed in said office a few days before the rise of Congress, and the reason he did not bring the warrant was from the pressure of business in the office the evidence could not at
Page 8

that time be attended to. I am in hopes Mr. Cutting will look over his papers again as it is very doubtful whether I can procure the evidence again as the persons from whom I obtained it are both sick & may not again recover, and live a considerable distance from me.
Your obt. Srvt.

Jonathan Parker Sneed

P.S.
I am sorry to trouble you but it is a the only way I have to obtain my right without going to Washington myself & the favour will not be forgotten - Perhaps I may be able to procure other evidence which I will do if possible though it is doubtful - Should the evidence be found & a warrant issued you will please forward it & oblige.

Dear Madam:

You are advised that from the Revolutionary War records of this office it appears that Kader or Cader Parker served as first lieutenant in Captain Morse's Company in the Sixth North Carolina Regiment from September, 1776, and was transferred to the Fourth North Carolina Regiment. During the battle of Camden,
August 18, 1780, he had his scull fractured and died a few days afterward.
On account of the service of this soldier Warrant 1028 for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued February 16, 1822, to Jonathan Parker Sneed of Hillsborough, North Carolina, and others (names not designated ) who were the heirs-at-law of the soldier.
The place of residence of Kader or Cader Parker is not shown and there are no data relative to his wife.
Very truly yours,

A. D. HILLER
Assistant to Administrator

[note - Did not say he entered service in Sept.. 1776, as according to Heilman he was a md. Lt. in May, 1776.]
