Washington, D. C.

Gentlemen:

It is very important to me that I have information covering the possible Revolutionary war record or [sic: of] ISAAC BATES.

He moved from Pittsylvania County Virginia to Tennessee about 1846, and it is possible his wife's name was Lizzie Mahan. He had a son named Isaac who married Dinitia Walden Jefferson from near Danville. They were from a settlement on Little Sillacore and Pigg Rivers, Pittsylvania County.

Any information you can give me will be tremendously appreciated.

Yours very truly,
S/Aubrey R Bates
Aubrey R. Bates.

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Isaac Bates, a soldier of the Revolutionary War.

You are furnished herewith the record of the only soldier by that name that is found on file in the Revolutionary War records of this office.

The data contained herein were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, S.328, based upon the service of Isaac Bates during the Revolutionary War.

He was out in 1781 or 1782 as a private under Colonels Armstrong and Sevier and was short in the right arm, by the Cherokee Indians, near the Tellico (?) Plains. Because of this wound his arm was amputated.

He was pensioned by the state of North Carolina on account of this disability and was paid until September 4, 1808, after which he was placed on the list of United States pensioners and was paid at the Nort Carolina Agency.

In 1820 he was living in White County, Tennessee, where he had lived three years, prior to 

[handwritten notes up right margin: I could not find this soldier on the list of Rev. pen. (1835) in either N. C. or Tenn: A recd lives re N.C. list in old Recr. Book back in [illegible]]

that time he had lived in Buncombe County, North Carolina.

The dates of his birth and death are not on [crossed out: our] the records ^of this office., and there are no data as to his family.

Very truly yours
