BA-J/CC John Logan 
S.47821

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of John Logan recorded as pensioner in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania in 1823, aged eighty-one years, also the record of William Lowrey who resided at sometime in Beaver County, Pennsylvania. 
There is no claim for pension on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War of a John Logan who is shown to have resided in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War data and the limited trained clerical force available for furnishing such information it is not possible to comply in full with each request pertaining to soldiers of that war. 
The pensioner cited by you was a resident of Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, erroneously cited as of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and his age was recorded also in error. The record of the pensioner of Armstrong County follows as shown in papers on file in pension claim, S.47821, based upon service of John Logan in the Revolutionary War. 
The date and place of birth of John Logan and names of his parents are not shown.
John Logan enlisted in Chester County, Pennsylvania, in February 1776, served as a private in Captain James Moore's company, Colonel Anthony Wayne's 4th Pennsylvania Regiment and was discharged in May, 1777, by Colonel Francis Johnston then in command of the regiment. Soldier stated that he was in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown; no details of this service stated.
Page 6

He was allowed pension on his application executed September 17, 1822, at which time he was aged sixty-three years and residing in Redbank Township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. 
At the time of his application for pension, he stated that his wife Mary was aged fifty-five years and that he had six children with him named as follows: John, Polly, Charles, Sally, Andrew and Betsy, aged respectively nineteen, seventeen, fifteen, thirteen, eleven, and nine years. There are no further data in regard to wife or children.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the name and address of person paid and possibly the date of death of the Revolutionary War pensioner, John Logan (S.47821), you should address The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data:

Sir,

   Accompanying this line you have the papers in the case of John Logan, an applicant for the benefits of the provisioning of the laws made for the relief of the soldiers of the revolution. His application & papers were before the war department, some time since, and returned, - his declaration not having stated the county in which he resided.  That defect is now remedied & the township & county in which he lives is noted on the declaration.

                              I am very respectfully
                                    your obnt Serv't
