June 12,1930 Miss Mary Eleanor Holt Greenup,Illinois Dear Madam: I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 3570, it appears that Andrew Wilson was born July 15, 1761 in Ireland. He enlisted in Rockbridge County, Virginia in December, 1780, as a private in Captain James Buchanan's Company, Colonel John Boyer's Virginia Regiment, and was discharged late in April, 1780. He enlisted in June 1781 and served two months as a private in Captain James Elliott's Virginia Company. He was in three skirmishes near Portsmouth, Virginia. He was allowed pension on his application executed July 30, 1832, at which time he was a resident of Fairfield Township, Butler County, Ohio and he stated that he had lived there about twenty-seven years. There are no data relative to his family. The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to James Morningstar, Newton Jones and a William De Camp, who served under General St. Clair in his defeat of November 1791. The War of 1812 records fail to afford any information in regard to a claim for pension having been made to the United States on account of the services of James Morningstar. Your letter has been referred to the proper division of this bureau for reply in regard to the soldiers who served in the Civil War.
Very truly yours E.W. Morgan Acting Commissioner
