Honorable Robert G. Simmons

Washington, D.C.
My dear Mr. Simons:
In reply to your letter of the 23rd
instant, I have the honor to advise you that this bureau
is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revo-
lution unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been
made on account of his services. A search of the records
fails to show such a claim on file on account of the ser-
vices of any soldier named Israel Outhouse.
You are herewith furnished the history
of Peter Outhouse, the only soldier of that name found on
the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.
From the papers in the Revolutionary War
pension claim, S. 46400, it appears that Peter Outhouse
enlisted, date not stated, and served as a private in Cap-
tain Beatty's Company, Colonel Gunby's Seventh Maryland
Regiment; in the fall of 1781, he was placed in Captain
Gassaway's Company under Major Hardman, and was discharged
Page 6

at Fredericktown, Maryland, at the close of the war.
He was allowed pension on his application executed
June 28, 1828, at which time he was living in Oldham
County, Kentucky. His age is not given and there are
no data as to family.
Very truly yours,
E. W. MORGAN
Acting Commissioner.
