My dear Mr. Summers:
Reference is made to your letter of October 11, in regard to information desired by your constituent, Mrs. J. Carter Bardin, of Dallas, Texas, concerning a Revolutionary War soldier named George Haynes.
It appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 38791, that George Haynes (or Hains), Senior, was born and reared in Winchester, Virginia, date of birth not stated.
While a resident of Winchester, Frederick County, Virginia, he enlisted in the fall of 1776, served as a private under Captains Fauntleroy, Green, and Henry Bowyer, Colonels Bland and Washington, in the First and Third regiments Continental Dragoons, was in the battle of Guilford Court House and was discharged at the close of the war.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 11, 1829 (pension certificate issued December 17, 1830) while a resident of Carter County, Tennessee, aged seventy-one years.
In 1829, he referred to his wife and ten sons, names not stated.
The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to pension having been claimed by any one as the widow of this soldier.
Very truly yours

Kind Sir,
Will you please search in file No. 38791 under the name of [word underlined - George Haynes] and send me a certified copy of what appears there pertaining to him and his family.
I understand that it says under the heading of “remarks” that in “1829 he referred to a wife and ten sons, names not stated.” I should think this would indicate that this reference would appear in some letter or affidavit filed there. If so will you please send me a copy of same and I shall be glad to pay you by return mail if there is a charge for this service.
Yours very truly

Mrs. Ethelynde Roberson
1234 Ravenna Ave.

P.S. If you find nothing please tell me where I may write for further information.

Hon. E. W. Morgan, Acting 
Commissioner of Pensions
Veterans Administration
Washington, D. C.

My dear Mr. Morgan:

I am in receipt of a letter from my constituent, Mrs. J. Carter Bardin, of Dallas, Texas, which I get to quote as follows:

“Your valued assistance in securing for me from the Pension Bureau data on the following: GEORGE HAYNES, Revolutionary War, born in Virginia 1757, enlisted in the Cavalry of the Virginia line for period of three years and served as Private for the full term. He was in the battle at Guilford Court House. His Capt. was killed in this battle. It is stated he later was in the Company of Capt. Henry Bowyer. He was discharged at Stanton, Va., and in 1819 he applied for a pension which was allowed for three years actual service. When he applied for pension he was a resident of Carter Co. Tenn. Please ascertain if his wife Margaret McInturff-Haynes was granted pension on above record after death of her husband. Record of the data she submitted will be appreciated.”

I will very much appreciate it if you will furnish me with the desired information, if possible, for transmission to my constituent.

Respectfully,

Hatton W. Sumners

Dear Nat,
I seem to be the only member of the Harris family who has taken much interest in genealogy. My interest waned considerably as to the death of my boy; however, I now have a name-sake for whom I would like to get up some of the records. I thought that possibly you were in Washington, you might be willing to cut the red tape in the Pension Bureau, and have a copy of the pension application sent to me.
Our great-great grand-father, George Haynes, enlisted as a private soldier in William Washington’s Cavalry. He served with that command until honorably discharged. I know that he made an application for a pension from Washington County somewhere about 1820, and his full record was set out in that application. I want to get a copy of that application. Would it be too much trouble for you to have the proper person look it up and send it to me with the bill? I have never been able to find out anything about the service, if he did serve, of Benjamin Harris, our great-great grand-father on the Harris side. He, too, died in Washington County, and it maybe that he made application for pension, though I think he had more property than George Haynes had at the time of his death. Could you have someone make an examination to see if there is any record of him in the Pension Bureau.
I don’t want to trouble you, but I thought possible you might be a little interested in the matter. If you do get interested, you will find it very absorbing. Some twenty years ago I wrote hundreds of letters, and took great pleasure in running up family trees until I lost interest. I hope this will not trouble you, but I do not know how to get at the proper official to find these records, and therefore, appeal to you.
With best wishes for you all, I am sincerely, 
Your cousin,
Nath A Harris

Dear Sir;
My grandfather George Haynes was a solider in the Revolutionary war serving in Col. William Washington’s Cavalry. I am not sure but rather think in the closing years of his life he applied for and rec’d a pension from the Government. Being very anxious to wanting all the facts attainable about my grandfather’s military record it occurred to me the record of your office might [words scratched out] contain some information of interest. Will you be kind enough to let me know what the records show as to his application for pension and the allowance of pension. My grandfather spent the most of his life and died in Washington Co.

State of Kentucky
Allen County Set. 
Be it remembered that on this the 26th day of October 1830 before me Robert H Paris said of the Commonwealth Justice of the Peace in and for the County aforesaid personally appeared Christopher Haines Senr [Senior] aged seventy one years a resident citizen of the state and County aforesaid, who being duly sworn and cautioned by now the truth to speak deposeth and states. That he was and is personally and intimately acquainted with George Haines Senr [Senior] of Carter County State of Tennessee. That the said George was born and raised in the town of Winchester in the state of Virginia. This deponent states that some time in the year 1777 to the best of his recollection the said George enlisted as a soldier of the United States in the Revolutionary War in the regiment of Dragoons then commanded by Colo. Bland or Colo Temple and for the term of three years after which enlistment as this deponent understood he was returned as having enlisted during the War, that the said George continued to serve as a soldier of the United States in the Virginia line form the time of his said enlistment until after the taking of Cornwallis at little York, sometime after which he obtained a furlow [furlough] for three months. This deponent well recollects seeing and reading the furlow [furlough] which the said George obtained shortly after his return from the south, where he had served. On the back of the furlow [furlough] there was an endorsement that after the three months expired should the war and or no call be made, the said furlow [furlough] was to be considered and operate as a final discharge from the service. This Deponent well recollects that the war virtually ended before that time and that no call was ever thereafter made for the embodying of the troops. This deponent thinks that the said George was transferred from the regiment in which he enlisted to that of Colo. Washington and that he was in

several engagements with the British, under Colo. Washington. This deponent and the said George were the only sons of their mother who during the Revolution lived in Winchester he thinks he cannot be mistaken as to the matter and things above herein set forth, and his recollection is clear. The said George now lives and has lived for many years in Tennessee and he believes in Carter County not far from Jonesborough.
