Judge H. C. Glenn,

Van Wort, Ohio.

Sir:

In response to your personal inquiry of the 23"" instant, you are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau show that Dennis McKnight, Private was transferred from the State of Pennsylvania to the Invalid pension roll of the United States, under Section 3 of the Act of April 25, 1808, by which he was allowed $40.00, per annum from April 1, 1809, but there are no papers on file, the same having probably been destroyed when the British burned the War office  in 1814.

Volume II of "list of Pensioners reported by the Secretary of War in 1835, under Invalid pensioners of Somerset County, Pennsylvania, shows "Dennis McKnight, Private, of the Revolutionary Army, pensioned at $40 per annum from April 1, 1809, $64 per annum from April 24, 1816, Died June 3, 1819"

Very respectfully,
Commissioner.
