Sir,
I have examined and filed under act of June 7, 1832 the declaration of Stephen Drane, as administrator upon the estate of Josiah Dunn, claiming pension for the service of the latter in the revolutionary war.
Evidence of service should be sought of the authorities of Georgia.
It does not appear [crossed out] from the papers transmitted that Mr. Dunn left children who are now living & nor is it stated at what time he died. If his death occurred previously to June 7, 1832 there could be no arrears due in his right under said act.
Very respectfully,
Him or his
Thomas Lumpkin Esqr. his Commissioner 
Present

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your letter relative to Josiah B. Dunn, who served in the Revolutionary War.

The record of theonly Josiah Dunn that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this office is furnished you herein as found in the papers on file in the Revolutionary War claim for pension, R.3145, based upon his military service in that war.

On February 6, 1856, in Columbia County, Georgia, Stephen Drane, administrator of the estate of Josiah Dunn late of Columbia County, Georgia, applied for pension under the Act of June 7, 1832, on account of the services of Captain Josiah Dunn in the Revolutionary War.  Stephen Drane stated that Josiah Dunn served at Kings Mountain, Augusta, Ogeechee and other places, and was killed at Wrightsboro, Georgia.  He did not give the names of any of his field officers nor designate the state troops in which he served.

Josiah Dunn's age is not shown nor place of his birth nor the name of his parents.

The claim for the pension was not allowed as proof of service and death of Josiah Dunn was not furnished as required by the pension law, nor any statement submitted to show that he was survived by children.  No reference was made to any wife or marriage of Josiah Dunn.

The land to which you refer as located in Washington County, Georgia, was not granted by the
Page 9

United States, hence, this office would have no record of the grant.

Very truly yours
