The Revolutionary War records of this office have been searched and no claim for pension found based upon the service of Andrew McMahan " 

In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name and address of person paid, and possibly the date of death of the pensioner, Andrew McMahan, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, Washington, D. C., and furnish the following data Andrew McMahan, certificate #15802, issued November 6, 1819, rate $8.00 per month, commenced

Veterans Administration,
Washington, D.C.

Sirs:

Regarding the above named Revolutionary War soldier whose marker is in one of our local cemteries, I should like to know whether your
pension records show that he ever lived in Illinois.

Upon closer inspection of the marker, I note
the name is spelled with a "bo" instead of "ha"
thus making the name " Andrew McMabon " instead of Andrew McMahan.

In your letter of March 20, 1935 you state
that Andrew McMahan lived in Tennessee when his pension claim was allowed, but you do not state his residence at the time of his death.

In case these are the names of two different
veterans, I should like to have the service record of the one buried in our local cemetery, whose name is Andrew McMabon.

Very respectfully,
Carl Green
Judge Advocate of Lawrence County

Mr. Carl Green,
R. F. D. 5,
Summer,
Illinois.

The records of this office show that one Andrew McMahon served in the Revolutionary
War as a private in Captain Thomas Hamilton's Company, 1st Virginia State Regiment, commanded by Colonel George Gibson. He enlisted March 1, 1777, for 3 years, His rank is shown as a fifer on the company pay rolls covering the period from September 14, 1777, until April, 1778, and his name is last borne on a pay roll for the period from December, 1779, to April, 1780. His name is also borne on
a record under the heading: " A List of State Soldiers and Seaman who have received
Certificates for the balance of their full pay. Agreeable to act of Assembly passed
November Session 1781, " which shows that on February 2, 1785, the sum of 157 817 was
drawn by Major Ward.

The records also show that one and McMehorn ( name also borne as Andrew
McMahon ) served in that war as a sergeant in the 4th Troop, commanded by Captain
William Parsons, 1st Regiment Light Dragoons, Continental Troops. Neither the date of his entry into service nor the date of his separation therefrom is shown. His name first appears on a company pay roll for January, 1783. His name also appears on a record under the heading: " A list of Soldiers of the Virginia Line on Continental Establishment who have received Certificates for the balance of there full
pay Agreeable to an Act of Assembly passed November Session 1781, " which shows
that on February 2, 1785, the sum of £87 11 All was received by Major Ward.

The collection of Revolutionary War records in this office is far from complete and it is suggested as a possibility that additional information may be obtained from the Librarian, Virginia State Library, Richmond, or from the Veterans Administration, Washington, D.C., which has custody of the U.S. pension records.
