Prosser Hogan-S.36592

Mrs. E. F. Yeager

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of George Armstrong, and Prosser Hogan, the latter of North Carolina who was pensioned in 1819, on account of his services. 

Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War data and the limited trained clerical force available for furnishing such information, it is impossible to comply in full with each request pertaining to soldiers of that war. The record of Prosser Hogan is furnished herein, as found in the papers on file in his claim for pension, S. 36592, based upon his military service in the Revolutionary War.

The date and place of birth and the names of the parents of Prosser Hogan are not shown. 

Prosser Hogan enlisted in Guilford County, North Carolina, in 1777, about the time of the battle of Germantown, for three years, served in Captain Anthony Sharp's Company, Colonel Clark's North Carolina Regiment; shortly before the term of his enlistment expired, reenlisted for the war, served in Captain Tatum's Company, in same regiment, and was taken prisoner at Charleston: length of time held in captivity not shown.

He was allowed pension on his application executed April 28, 1818, at which time he was aged fifty-four years and resided in Green County, Kentucky.

In 1821, he stated that he was aged sixty years and his wife, fifty-five years; at this time he referred to his grandchild but gave no names and there are no further family data.

[handwritten note] Found a Col. Thos Clark of the 1" Regt in 1777 & Capt Anthony Sharp of the 9" in 1777, so did not use no of regt. Also found a Capt Howell Tatum of the 1" NC

In 1826, Prosser Hogan had moved to Indiana, and was residing near Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana.
