Reference is made to your letter in which you request
the record of Benjamin Fry who is listed as a pensioner in
the report of the Secretary of War printed in 1835, cited
This Benjamin Fry was pensioned at the rate of $60.00
per annum under the Act of July 5, 1812, which pension
began September 17, 1810. He was then of Jasper County,
Georgia. He received his pension because of wound or
injury in line of duty; the period of his service and
names of his officers are not shown.
He died in September 1833.
If you will refer to the margin of page 3 of the
volume you cite in regard to this pensioner, you will note
the explanation in regard to lack of information relative
to these pensioners whose names are followed by a the
papers in their applications were destroyed by fire in 1814.
For this reason this office has no further data in regard
to Benjamin Fry.
As a possible means of securing information in regard
to the last payment of his pension and the name of person
paid, you might apply to the Comptroller General, General
Accounting Office, this city, and state the date of the
act under which he was granted the pension and his residence
at that time.
Very truly yours
