Veterans Administration,
Washington, D. C.

Gentlemen: --

In the work of this Division in locating and permanently recording the burial places of war veterans buried in the State, we have found the grave of a Frederick Ware, who is believed to have served in the Revolution from the State of Maryland. This is all the information we are able to furnish at the present time. He may have made application for a pension because of that service and if so, we would like to receive a copy of the information that he may have filed with the application. He moved from Maryland to Ross County, Ohio and then to Des Moines County, Iowa.

Thanking you, I am
Yours truly,

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Frederick Ware, who, you believe, served from Maryland, moved from that state to Ross County, Ohio, thence to Des Moines, Iowa.

There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon the service of a Frederick Ware who served from Maryland. However, the record has been found of a Frederick Ware who served from Pennsylvania and applied for pension while living in Ross County, Ohio, which may be the soldier in whom you are interested. His history is furnished herein as found in the papers on file in pension claim, R.11135.

Frederick Ware was born February 23, 1762, in York, Pennsylvania. The names of his parents are not shown. The name appears,
also, as Wahr.

While residing in York County, Pennsylvania, Frederick Ware entered the service in December, 1777 or in January, 1778, as an
apprentice to the blacksmith trade and served in that capacity under George Moul, blacksmith to the army, until February 23,  1783.

After the Revolution, he lived in his native county for three years, then moved to Nelson County, Virginia and lived for twenty-
eight years, then moved to Ross County, Ohio, where he had lived for seventeen years when he applied for pension, June 30, 1834. His claim was not allowed because the kind of service rendered by him was not provided for in the act of Congress under which he applied.

It is not shown that he ever moved to Des Moines, Iowa.

It is not stated that Frederick Ware was ever married and the date of his death is not shown.

in 1834, soldier's brother John Ware Senior, lived in Pike County, Ohio.  He stated that he was born in York, Pennsylvania, April 27, 1765, and moved to Ohio in 1811.

Very truly yours,
