Sir:

  I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 3835, it is alleged that John Fuller went from Kershaw District, South Carolina, into General Braddock's War about the commencement of the same, he was at the battle of Braddock's Defeat, after which he was discharged and returned to Kershaw District, South Carolina, he again volunteered about the commencement of the Revolutionary War, served under Colonel Henry Candler and was discharged at Little York, Virginia, after which he moved to Columbia County, Georgia, and died there, between the years 1809 and 1814, at the age of one hundred and six years.

His son John applied for pension on account of the services of his father, February 13, 1854, while a resident of Jonesborough, Fayette County, Georgia,  aged
Page 7

ninety-eight years.

The claim was not allowed as there was no provision of law which would entitle his son to pension.

The above noted is the only soldier from South Carolina by the name of John Fuller that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau and there is no record of Samuel Trivet or Trivett who served in the Virginia Troops.

Respectfully,


E. W. MORGAN
Acting Commissioner.

Madam:
In response to your letter dated the 23rd ultimo, you are advised that in the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim R. File No. 3,835, it is alleged that John Fuller went from Kershaw District, South Carolina, into General Braddock's War about the commencement of the same, he was at the battle of Braddock's defeat, after which he was discharged and returned to Kershaw District, S. C., where he again volunteered about the commencement of the Revolutionary War, served under Colonel Henry Candler and was discharged at Little York Virginia, after which he moved to Columbia County, Georgia, and died there between the years 1809 and 1814.
His son John applied for pension on account of the services of his father February 13, 1854 while a resident of Jonesborough, Fayetteville County, Georgia aged ninety-eight years.  The claim was rejected on the ground that the soldier died before the passage of any pension law under which his son could assert a claim.

Very respectfully,
Commissioner.
