Madam:
I have to advise you that in the Report from the Secretary of War in relation to the establishment of the United States, which was printed in 1835, on the list of invalid pensioners who had received pensions at the Maryland Agency and whose residence could not be ascertained in consequence of the destruction of the papers of the War Office in 1800 and 1814, appears as follows:
William Evans [underlined], Private, Revolutionary Army, rate of pension $ 40 per annum, from March 4,1789, under Act of June 7, 1785 [underlined].
The above noted is the only William Evans of Maryland (under any spelling of that surname) found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
The papers in his claim were destroyed, either when the War Office was burned in November 1800, or when the
