Collingswood, New Jersey.

Madam:
I advise you that in the report of the Secretary of War in relation to the pension establishment of the United Staes, printed in 1835, on the list of invalid pensioners of Louisa County, Virginia, appears the name of Stephen Terry, Private, Third Virginia Regiment, pensioned from January 1, 1736, under the Act of June 7, 1785.
There are no papers on file relative to said pensioner owing to the destruction of papers in such claims for pension when the War Office was burned in 1800 and 1814.
For information relative to land that may have been granted by the State of Virginia you should apply to the Librarian, Virginia State Library, Richmond, Virginia.
The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to show a claim for bounty land made to the United States on account of his services.

Respectfully,
E. W. MORGAN
Acting Commissioner.

Dear Sirs:
Will you please to give me some information regarding the family and services of STEPHEN TERRY, resident of Louisa Co., Va., 1835.  He was registered under the Invalid Pensioners much earlier.  Does his Pension give the names of his wife and children, tell when he was married &? Was he the STEPHEN TERRY who received a military warrant from Virginia for 200 acres of land in Kentucky in 1784 - this warrant was given for 3 years service as Corporal in Virginia State Line - and it was #203.
Will you please let me have this as soon as you can?  My father served in the Great War.

Very sincerely,
Virginia Arror Jackson.
