Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter relative to William McKinney, a soldier of the Revolutionary War.

The data furnished herein are obtained from the papers on file in the Revolutionary War claim for pension, S.9017, based upon the
military service of William McKinney in that war.

William McKinney, the son of Daniel, was born in Sussex County, Virginia, in 1764.

While a resident of Franklin County, North Carolina, he enlisted August 7, 1782 and served as a private under Lieutenant T. Pasteurs, Captains Carter and Robert Raiford, Majors Hogg and Blunt, and Colonels
Archibald Lytle, Washington and Armstrong in the North Carolina Troops until July 7, 1783.

Shortly after the Revolution, he moved to York District, South Carolina , and from there to Sandyland, Rutherford County, North Carolina, where he was allowed pension on his application executed October 23, 1832.

He died October 31, 1857.

A grandson, David W. McKinney, was living in Yanceyville, North Carolina, in 1859. There are no further data as to soldier's family.

The above noted is the only soldier named William McKinney, of North Carolina, found on the Revolutionary War records of this office.

Very truly yours

Memphis, Tennessee.

Dear Madam:

I advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 9017, it appears that William McKinney, the son of Daniel McKinney, was born in Sussex County, Virginia in 1764.

While a resident of Franklin County, North Carolina, he enlisted August 7, 1782 and served as a private under Lieutenant T. Pasteurs, Captains Carter and Robert Raiford,
Majors Hogg and Blunt, and Colonels Archibald Lytle, Washington and Armstrong in the North Carolina Troops until July 7, 1783.

Shortly after the Revolution he moved to York District, South Carolina and from there to Sandyland, Rutherford County, North Carolina, where he was allowed pension on his
application executed October 23, 1832. He died October 31, 1857.

A grandson, David W. McKinney, was living in Yanceyville, North Carolina in 1859.

Very truly yours,

EARL D. CHURCH,
Commissioner.
