Dear Madam:

I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War
pension claim, W. 7112, it appears that Thomas Entrekin was born
October 25, 1759 in Pennsylvania.

While a resident of the Ninety-sixth District of South 
Carolina, he enlisted and served as a private as follows:

From May 1776, seven months in Captain Robert Gillam's
South Carolina Company; from September 1777, three months in
Captain William Milwee's South Carolina Company; from May 1778,
four months in Captain Benjamin Kilgore's South Carolina Company:
from October 1778, two months in Captain William Milwee's South Carolina Company in 1779, three months in Captain Charles Saxon's
South Carolina Company; in 1780, three months in Captain William
Milwee's Company in Colonel Robert McCreary's South Carolina Regiment; 
from October 23, 1780, over three years in Colonel Joseph
Hayes' South Carolina Regiment and was in the battle of Black
Stocks, was in an engagement with the British and tories at
Hammond's old store on Bush River and was in the battle of Cowpens.
Page 22

while visiting an uncle, his name not given, near Hillsboro, North Carolina, he enlisted immediately after the battle of Guilford, served
under Count Malmody, length of service not given; he then enlisted
in Captain William Milwee's Company, in Lieutenant Colonel William
Henderson's and Colonel Joseph Hayes' South Carolina Regiments,
length of service not given.

He was allowed pension on his application executed September
30, 1834, at which time he was a resident of Laurens County,
South Carolina.

He died there June 19, 1839.

The soldier married, in Laurens County, South Carolina,
in August 1791, Mary, her maiden name not given.

She was allowed pension on her application executed January
21, 1845, at which time she was seventy-six years of age and was 
a resident of Coweta County, Georgia.

A daughter, Kezai Vickery, was born June 6, 1792, and twin

The following appear on a family record, relationship to
the soldier not given:

The above noted is the history of the only soldier by the
Page 23

name of Thomas Entrekin that is found on the Revolutionary War
records of this Bureau.

It is within the province of this Bureau to furnish
the histories of only those persons who rendered military service
and on account of such services a claim for pension or bounty land
was made to the United States. If David Moses was a soldier, a
search of the records will be made in your behalf if you will state
the war in which he served, and furnish as much as possible of the
following data pertaining to him: approximate dates of birth and
death, places of residence at enlistment and after service and
first name of the widow.

Your letter has been forwarded to the proper division 
of this Bureau for reply relative to Stacey and John Entrekin who
served in the Civil War.
Very truly yours,
EARL D. CHURCH
Commissioner.

Sir,
The declaration of Mary Entrekan an
applicant for a pension under the act of July
7th 1838 has been examined and is herewith returned, in order that it may be submitted to 
Court of record and the proceedings before the single Justice may be approved in open Court.
The date of the marriage must be
established by record or documentary evidence
public or private.
When the alleged date of a
marriage approached so near the limitation of
the act under which the claim is made, the ┃
testimony of individuals cannot be relied upon
to establish with the certainly required by the 
rules the date of an event which took place more
than 50 years ago unless supported by some
record proof. The service of her husband Thomas Entrekin is satisfactory.
Same, very respectfully
Your Ob Servant
