James F. Nunnelee R.16796 [handwritten]


Mrs. J. W. Wright,
278 W. College Ave.,
Elberton, Ga.

Madam;
I have to advise you that from the papers in the
Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 16796, it appears
that Jane Nunnelee or Nunnilee while residing in Elbert
County, Georgia, aged seventy two years, applied for pension
March 6, 1860 and alleged that her husband, James F.
Nunnelee was a private in the Virginia Militia and served
two tours, dates and length of service nor officers not
stated.
Her claim was not allowed as she failed to furnish
specific proof of her husband's services.
It also appears in said claim that James F. Nunnelee
married in Elbert County, Georgia October 28, 1810, Jane
Nash. He died February 15, 1838.
Respectfully,
Commissioner.
