Dear Madam: Reference is made to your letter in which you request the record and date of death of John Aiken, Revolutionary War Soldier who served in Captain Isaac Lewis' Company, Second Delaware Regiment.
The Revolutionary War records of this office show that one John Aiken received a pension of $40.00 per anum to commence September 4, 1796, under the Act of June 7, 1735 on account of disability incurred in service. His name was borne on a list of invalid pensioners who were paid at the Virginia Agency, but whose places of residence could not be ascertained because of the destruction of papers in such early applications when the War Office was burned in 1800 and 1814. For the reason state, this office has no further data relative to John Aiken and none whatever in regard to his family.
Very Truly yours A. D. Hiller Assistant to Administrator
