Copy Pension Office, Sept. 20, 1852
Sir:
agreeably to your request the claim ofJohn Forrester of Ga. has been examined

He has obtained a certificate of the Comptroller of S. C. dated May 17, 1851, showing
that a John Forrester a private served ten months in Capt Wm Alexander's Co., Col. Wade
Hampton's Regt and Sumpters Brigade-

This certificate gives no date to the service.-

With this certificate, evidently, before him, he makes a Declaration, dated 14 July 1851. in
which he claims to have served nearly a year, in Capt. Alexander's Co., but of the date of the service he has no idea. He says he cannot prove his service by any one. If the claim were much freer from suspicion than it is, it could not be admitted without proof of identity. as it is, the clearest proof of identity and service will be necessary to the admission of it, and he swears that he is not able to furnish this proof,
M. Thompson Esq
Present
