Sir, I have the honor to inform you that the evidence in the case of Catharine Freeman widow of John Freeman is sufficient to establish the date of their marriage, but the demise of her husband is not specified or required by the regulations nor is it sustained by satisfactory proof.
The discharge of John Freeman shows that he was discharged from a tour of duty Feb [?] 1778 but the name of his entering upon that tour is but doubted and the fact of his having secured County Land [Affair?] no evidence of Service it [..] only that he was a citizen of Georgia and that he had not been convicted of felony driving or disrespecting the Country.
Unless the heirs [?], length and grade of each tour of Service rendered by Charmenettty [?] husband with the Names of the company and Field Officer, under whom it was performed be clearly set forth, her claim amount be understandingly adjusted. Before the Service as a Commissary can be adjusted it should

be established by the production of Freemans Commission or hence other [?] or documentary proof.

Rev. War Section June 8, 1933
Harrell Harvey, Monticello, P.O. Box 96, Georgia
Sir: In response to your letter of April 18, 1933, I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau, it appears that Catharine, widow of John Freeman of Georgia, applied for pension on account of his services as a Commissary in the Revolution. Also that he was discharged from a tour of duty in February 1778, but her claim was not allowed as she failed to furnish proof of six months service, as required by the pension laws.
There is no further data on file relative to said soldier and widow, owing to the fact that the papers in her claim were withdrawn from this Bureau in 1847 and sent to the Committee on Pensions of the House of Representatives and never returned. Respectfully, Commissioner.  [no signature]
