Madam:
In response to your letter dated the 11" instant,
you are advised: that from the papers in the claim of The

that he belonged to the company of Captain Gross Scruggs
in Colonel Muhlenberg's regiment during the Revolution,
and was pensioned for disability, the nature of which
is not shown, under the Act of June 7, 1785, to commence
January 1, 1736.
In 1825, he was a resident of Franklin County, Virginia.
There is no other data on file.
Very respectfully,
G M Saltzgaber

Commissioner.
