Mr. P. L. Cobb

Chattanooga, Tennessee

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Thomas Lee who served in the North Carolina Militia in 1774, and in the Revolutionary War,
received land in 1787, for his Revolutionary War services, and lived later in Hawkins County, Tennessee, also the Mexican War
record of Pharoah A. Cobb who received one hundred sixty acres of land in 1847, in regard to the location of which, you desire
information.

There is one claim for pension, only, on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War, of a Thomas Lee who served in the North Carolina troops. No claim for bounty land has been found based upon his service in that war. The land which you state was granted for service of a Thomas Lee of North Carolina
may have been granted by the state from which he served and not by the United States.

The record of Thomas Lee, the pensioner, of North Carolina, is furnished you herewith as shown in his claim for pension, S. 41764.

Your letter has been referred to the proper division for reply in regard to Pharoah A. Cobb, Mexican War soldier.

Very truly yours
