Dear Madam:

    I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 32122, it appears that William Black was born in 1762 in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
    While a resident of York District, South Carolina, he enlisted in the spring of 1776 and served three months and twenty days as a private with the South Carolina troops under Captain William McCulloch and Colonels Thomas Neel, Henderson and Samuel Watson.
     While a resident of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, he enlisted in the summer of 1779 and served three months as a private in Captain John Foster's North Carolina Company and was in the battle of Stone Ferry.
     He was allowed pension on his application executed August 30, 1832, at which time he was a resident of Upson County, Georgia.
     In 1835 he was living in Fayette County, Georgia.
     There are no data on file relative to wife and children.

Commissioner of Pensions,
War Department,
Washington, D.C.

Dear Sir:

Herewith attached correspondence with the Adjutant General in reference to the Revolutionary services of William Black.

The William Black that I would like to have the services of is evidentily not the one refeered to in the Adjutant General's letter as my William Black was a pensioner and lived in Fayette County Georgia, and is so recorded in the following record,

"A census of pensioners for Revolutionary or Military services, returned by the Marshalls of the several judical districts; under the act for taking the sixth census. Published by authority of an act of congress under the direction of the Secetary of State. Printed by Blair & rivers 1841 at Washington."

William Black residing with Samuel Black, Fayette County Ga. age 76 1840.

Our tradition is that he served 3 years and six months in the Revolution and was present at the surrender of Cornwallis, and as he was a pensioner he could not have been a deserter, we know that he is married Cathrine Taylor but we don't know what state and regiment he was in, hence my desire to establish his servies. 

Thanking you for this information, I am;

Yours very truly,

HS. Gibboney
