Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which
you request information in regard to Robert Brown and Nathaniel Wofford, soldiers of the War of the Revolution, from Habersham County, Georgia, also the record of several soldiers of the Confederate
States of America.

This office has no record of service of
soldiers of the Confederate States.

The Revolutionary War records of this office
have been searched and no claim for pension or bounty land found, based upon service of any soldier with surname Wofford, or similar spellings of that name.

The data which follow relative to Robert Brown
were obtained from claim for pension, S. 31569, based upon his military service in the Revolutionary War.

The date and place of birth of Robert Brown
were not given, nor are the names of his parents shown.

While a resident of Culpeper County, Virginia,

Robert Brown married sometime in 1790, Jane. The date and place of her birth and names of parents were not given, nor is it whown where Robert Brown, and the said Jane were married.

Robert Brown died in Habersham County, Georgia, January 20, 1840, and his widow, Jane Brown, died January 3, 1846.

In response to your letter dated the twenty-second instant, I have the honor to advise you that this Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made on account of his services, and a careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file for a Robert Brown who enlisted
from Georgia.

You are herewith furnished the history of
Robert Brown the only Revolutionary War pensioner of that name
who lived in Georgia.

From the papers in the claim Sur. File No. 31569 it appears that Robert Brown resided in Culpeper County, Virginia, where he enlisted in 1776, and served three years under Captains
John Kemp and Armistead in Colonel Gibson's First Virginia regiment. He was at the battle of Monmouth and in several skirmishes.
In 1781, he served three months in the militia of Culpeper County Virginia, under Captain Robert Pollard. His brother Pollard Brown
was in the militia service with him, and resided in Abbeville
Page 16

District, South Carolina, in 1832.

Robert Brown was allowed pension on an application executed November 5, 1832, at which date he was about seventy-three years old and lived in Habersham County, Georgia. He died January 20, 1840. He married Jane ____in 1790, she died  January 3, 1846. They had sons, one, Hugh aged forty-five years and a resident of Habersham County, Georgia, in 1852. The names
of the others are not stated.

On this 22nd day of May 1835 before
me the subscriber, a Justice of the peace for the said County of Franklin, personally appeared Robert Brown, of the County of Habersham who on his oath, declares
that he is the same person who formerly belonged to the Company commanded by Captain Armstead, in the Regiment commanded by Colonel Gibson, in the
service of the United States, that he is informed by a letter from J L Edwards Commissioner of Pensions that his name was placed on the pension roll of the State of Georgia, that a certificate of that fact
under the signature and seal of the secretary of war was issued for him and placed in the hands of the Hon. James M. Wayne, who, suppose that he may have enclosed the same to Colo Rusk of the said County of Haberham. This deponent states that the said Rusk absconded from Habersham some time
last fall or winter, and the last account he has heard of him, he was in the Province of Texas, so that he has now no means within his knowledge of getting said Certificate from him, if he ever received it. This deponent further states that he has never received said Certificate, and has no knowledge what has become of it, except as above stated. he feels confident that said Certificate was issued for him, as he believes there is no other person of his name that has applied for a pension in the said County of Habersham, The reason that he (deponent) has made the above affidavit
in Franklin County, instead of Habersham where he resides, is because it is most convenient to his residence.
