Dear Sir:
Reference is made your letter in which you request information in regard to Blanks Moody, cited from the Report of the Secretary of War, p. 27, as a Virginia pensioner. 

In the Report of the Secretary of War, in regard to the Pension Establishment, printed in 1835, the name Banks Moody is borne on a list of Invalid Pensioners who had been paid at the
Virginia Agency, but whose place of residence could not be ascertained because of the destruction of papers in the War Department
in 1814. That report shows that this pensioner served as a private and received a pension of $26.66 per annum. This pension was granted for disability incurred in service in line of duty
in the Revolutionary War.

There are no statements on file which were made by this soldier at the time he applied for pension because of the destruction of papers in such early applications when the War Office was burned in 1814, hence, this office has no information in regard to his service or his family. Reference to an old Pension Agency book in
this office reveals that the name of the pensioner cited above, was Banks Moody, not Banks Moody.
Very truly yours,
