Mrs. Edgar L. Smith,
Box 617,
Washington, Georgia.

Dear Madam:

You are advised that it appears from the papers
in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S.38456, that Moses Wade or Waide enlisted in January 1777 in Hanover County, Virginia, served as a private in Captain John Winston's Company, Colonel Charles Lewis' Virginia Regiment, was in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth and Paulus Hook where he received
a bayonet wound in his thigh and was discharged in January 1780. He later performed four tours of duty in the militia, one of them at the taking of Lord Cornwallis, names of officers not given.

He was allowed pension on his application executed February 17, 1819 while a resident of Wilkes County, Georgia, aged about sixty-one years.

There are no family data.

A careful search of the records of this bureau
fails to show a claim for pension on file on account of the services of Nathaniel Statham who is reported a pensioner of Stewart County, Georgia, on the Census of Pensioners of 1840.

As said volume was compiled from the returns of
the marshalls of the several judicial districts under the Act for taking the Sixth Census and without reference to the records of this bureau, it is not always possible to verify the data contained therein.

Very truly yours,



E. W. MORGAN,
Acting Commissioner.
