Dr Sir
Your favour of the 29th of March last came to hand but being Engaged in business that required my whole attention I have not Seen Mr Edward Griffin Untill in November when I called on him In the State of Georgia but not having your letter with me I forgot the order but I herewith send you mr griffins memorial Directed to the Honorable the Secretary at war and certified By a Notary Publick which I hope will enable you to get
him placed on the pension list of the United States, which I also hope will prove a timely relief to the distressed I assure you sir when I entered Mr Griffins house it was with astonishment and heart felt grief that I beheld the Distress of the family. Mr Griffin is as I informed you a very poor man but to add to his other misfortunes his wife mrs. g has long been afflicted with pains which has terminate in the white swelling and she has become ulcerated in all most all over, and is Entirely helpless and she together with her poor little Ragged children Exhibits a picture truely melancholy. I hope therefore you will pay attention to this business as soon as your own more weighty concerns will admit and I shall pay Every attention hereafter to your further Instruction when you get him placed on the pension list be kind enough to take the Certificate out of the office and send it to me directed to barnwell Post office and I will take it to mr griffin Immediately as I know he is in great distress.

Edward Griffin
S. 13224

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Edward Griffin of Georgia, who received
pension from March 4, 1814, also, information regarding Colonel Joel R. Griffin, a Confederate Veteran, 66 Georgia and Cavalry, and request further the record of a Joseph Holland of Georgia, the war not stated.
A search of the Revolutionary War records has been made and there is no claim for pension on file based upon service of a Joseph Holland of Georgia. This office has no record of service rendered in the Confederate Army. The data given herein regarding Edward Griffin were found in pension claim, S. 13224, based upon
service, and disability incurred in service in the Revolutionary War.
The records of this office show that Edward Griffin received a pension from the State of South Carolina on account of disability resulting from wound or exposure during his service in the Revolutionary War, and that under the Act of March 3, 1804, his name was transferred from the South Carolina State pension roll to that of the United States. In January 1814, Edward Griffin was living in 
Orangeburg District, South Carolina. In November of that year, he was living in Georgia with his wife and children. Their names are not given. His name was continued in the United States pension roll under the
Act of April 24, 1816.
This office has no details of his service and no further information in regard to family or residences of Edward Griffin.
For information in regard to date of last payment of pension and name of person paid, you should apply to the Comptroller General,
General Accounting Office, this city.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER,
Executive Assistant
to the Administrator.
