Madam:
I have to advise you form the records of this Bureau, it appears that Christopher Mourning served as a private in the U.S. Army, War of the Revolution. He was allowed pension, from March 4, 1809, on account of disability, the cause and nature of which is not stated. In 1817, he was living in Missouri, having moved there from North Carolina. there is no further data on file as to his services, and no data on file as to his family, owing to the destruction of the original papers, in his claim, when the War Office was burned in in 1814.
Respectfully, 
WINFIELD SCOTT
Commissioner.

Dear Sir,

Application has been made at this office by Christopher Mooring [Mourning] an old pensioner of the Revolution, to know if his pension could be removed from the State of North Carolina to this office. He says he received his last pension from J. Haywood but is not in possession of his original certificate. he is in possession of a letter from J. Haywood informing him he could on application have his pension paid to him from this office, from which I am under the impression he is a pensioner. will you please inform me on this subject, and please forward the original certificate of Lieut. Joseph Henderson and John Patterson, Invalids on the Rolls of this Territory
I have the honor to be very respectfully Sir, your Mó Ob't. Servant [Signature] A McNair

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Christopher Morning, 4th Virginia Regiment. The records of this office show that Christopher Mourning (Mooring) served as a private in the War of the Revolution. He was allowed pension, from March 4, 1809, on account of disability, the cause and nature of which is not stated. He was living in 1817 in Missouri, having moved there from North Carolina. There are no further date on file as to his service, and no data as to his family, due to the destruction of theh [the] papers, when the War Office was burned in 1814. This is the record of the only Christopher Mourning that is found on file in the Revolutionary War records of this office. The surname was searched under similar spellings.
Very truly yours
