Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letters in which you request to know the date and place of birth and the names of parents of Andrew Moore, Pension File No. S.41902, also, any information in regard to his family, and his war of 1812 record.
If you will kindly refer to letter of February 2, 1935, from this office, you will note the statements that the date and place of birth and the names of the parents of Andrew Moore are not shown in his claim for pension nor any family data.  It is not stated therein that he served in the War of 1812 and there is no claim for pension on file based upon his service in that war.
If you desire to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the name and addresses of person paid and possibly the date of death of the Revolutionary War pensioner, Andrew Moore (S.41902), you should address The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city and cite the following data:
Andrew Moore, Certificate No 17265, issued May 30, 1820, rate $8 per month, commenced April 28, 1818, Act of March 18, 1818, Pennsylvania Agency.
In the case of Andrew Moore, R.7313, whose record was furnished you on February 2, 1925, his claim was not allowed, therefore, there are no records of payments of pension from which to obtain further information.
Very Truly yours A.D. Hiller Executive Assistant to the Administrator
