Madam:
I have to advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 1233, it appears that Thomas Brockman applied for pension June 2, 1834, while a resident of East Fork Settlement, Montgomery County, Illinois, aged seventy-five years, and alleged that, while residing in Albemarle County, Virginia, he enlisted in December 1776 and served three years in Captains John Marks', Archibald Moon's, and Fellom's Company, Colonels Charles Lewis' and William Davies' Virginia Regiment, and was in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, and storming of Stony Point.
The claim was not allowed, as he failed to furnish satisfactory proof of his services, as required by the pension law.
There is no data on file as to his family,
Respectfully,

E. W. MORGAN
Acting Commissioner.
