Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War
pension claim, S.8995, it appears that Isaac Mace was
born, July 16, 1755, in Augusta County, Virginia.

He was allowed pension for two years service as an
Indian Spy in the War of the Revolution under the Act of
June 7, 1832, and was placed on the Kanawha County, Virginia
rolls.
Upon examination of his claim by the United States
District Attorney, his name was dropped from the Pension
Rolls, March 13, 1835, as it was proven that he did not
render any service.

Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT
Commissioner.
