About 1840 William Cormack was put on the pension roll from Lee Co. Va. having served in the Revolutionary War.
Will you be kind enough to give me all the facts known of his service and family as given in his application?  He should have been born about 1763 I think.

Sir:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 9129, it appears that William Carmack was born January 5, 1761, place not stated.
He enlisted in Washington County, Virginia, in January 1779, and was a private in Captain James Shelby's Company, Colonels John Montgomery and George Rogers Clarke's Virginia Regiment, marched to the Chickamauga Towns, destroyed them, was guard at the Fort at Vincennes, and was discharged July 10, 1780.
He was allowed pension on his application executed October 15, 1832, at which time he was living in Lee County, Virginia.  He died September 24, 1851.
There are no data as to his family.
The above noted William Carmack is the only soldier of that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau and the War of 1812 records of this bureau fail to

afford any information in regard to pension having been claimed on account of the services of any Levi Carmack.
Your letter has been forwarded to the proper division for reply relative to the records of the Mexican War soldiers-William and Isaac Carmack.
Respectfully,
Winfield Scott
Commissioner.
