Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your letter in which
you request information in regard to Paul Green,
a Revolutionary War pensioner of Woodford County,
Kentucky.

The data furnished herein were obtained from
the papers on filed in pension claim, S. 10767, based
upon the Revolutionary War service of Paul Green.

He enlisted at Annapolis in the year 1777
and served in Captain Miles' company in Colonel
Otho Wiliams' Sixth Maryland Regiment; he was in
the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, wintered at
Valley Forge and in the battle of Camden, where he
was taken prisoner and held nine months on board a
prison ship in the harbor near Charleston, was
exchanged and went to Pennsylvania and stationed at
Brandywine for a short time, then ordered to Annap
olis where he was discharged.

He was allowed pension on his application exe
cuted November 7, 1832, then aged sixty-nine years
and living in Woodford County, Kentucky.

There are no data as to his family.

Very truly yours

A. D. HILLER

Land Office, Annapolis, Decr. 6th 1832,

Sir,

Yours of the 4th Inst. with the declarations of
William Carol and Paul Green, enclosed were received.

In reply I have to inform you, that in the case of
William Carol, his name does not appear upon the rolls of
the "Flying Camp," in this office, as it is spelt in his declara
tion.  I find the name of one William Carrol, and am
inclined to believe that it is the same person that is now the
applicant for a pension. The officers under whom he served
are those which he mentions in his declaration.  I have
therefore deemed it necessary to send you a certificate.

As respects the case of Paul Green, I have to state that
I do not find his name upon the rolls.  I find the name
of one Paul Grenard, who it appears enlisted as a private
in Captain Miles's Company of the 6th Maryland Regt. on
the 4th day of May 1788, and on the 16th of August 1780 was
missing.  As Paul Green states in his declaration that he
enlisted in Captn. Miles's Company in the 6th Md. Regt. [word lined through]
and was taken prisoner, I have thought it possible that
some mistake may have been made in spelling his name
on the roll.  That his being a prisoner and detained nine
months is the reason why he was reported as missing.

J. L. Edwards Esqr. (In haste)  Very respectfully
George G. Brewer
