July 12, 1916
Mr. R. E. Van Syckle, 
1729 Ford Building,
Detroit, Mich.
Sir: 

In reply to your letter of the 25" ultimo, you are ad-vised that the Revolutionary War pensioner, S. 13,579, named Jacob Johns, who resided in Morgan Co. Ky., served in the S. G. S. C. Troops and lived in S. C. during that war. 
(In the margin, it is handwritten: See his letter in...below)

The Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to af-ford any information in regard to a Jacob Johnson who lived in Delaware or Maryland during the war, moved to Ky. in 1805 and later to Indiana. (written to the right: see negative...)

You are further advised that in the Report of the Secretary of War in relation to the Pension Establishment of the United States, (1835) Volume 2, page 27, on the list of invalid pension-ers paid at the Virginia Agency, whose residence could not be ascertained by reason of the destruction of paper in the War Department in 1814: appears the name Jacob Johnson, Private, annual allowance $50, dead. The nature of his services, name of war in which he served and family date are not matters of record, owing to the loss of papers when the British burned Washington in 1814.

Very respectfully, 
(signed) E. C Tieman
Acting Commissioner
