Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which
you request information in regard to Abraham,
Charles, James, and Reuben Lizenby, of South Carolina in the Revolutionary War.
The Revolutionary War records of this office
have been searched and no claims for pension or
bounty land found based upon service of Abraham,
James or Reuben Lizenby under any spelling of the
surname.
The record of Charles Lisonbie furnished
herein was obtained from papers on file in claim
for pension, S. 21346, based upon his service in
the Revolutionary War.
Charles Lisonbie was born January 5, 1760,
in Craven County, later called Darlington District,
South Carolina. The names of his parents are not given.

While residing in Anson County, North Carolina,
near the South Carolina Line, Charles Lisonbie enlisted
"shortly after General Gates' Defeat near
Camden," and served three months as private in Captain
Duke Glenn's company, Colonel Love's regiment; shortly
after his return home, he volunteered served six months
I could not verify any officers except
Maj Frederick Kimball (S.C.) as he was
pensioned by S.C evidently his
service was with S. C. Troops awf
Page 8

in Captain James Fair's company, under Major
Frederick Kimball, was in a skirmish near the High
Hills of Santee" and in a battle at Beattie's
Bridge. He served six months in Captain Thomas
Howard's company, marched to Elizabethtown on the
Cape Fear River, and there heard of the surrender
of Cornwallis.
Charles Lisombie moved about the year 1790
to Chesterfield District, South Carolina. He was
allowed pension on his application executed
September 29, 1835, then a resident of 
Chesterfield District, South Carolina. He was allowed,
also, a pension by the State of South Carolina, on
account of his service in the Revolution.
The papers on file in this claim contain no
reference to the family of Charles Lisonbie, only
that his father lived at various places after the
Revolution.
In order to obtain the date of last payment
of pension, name and address of person paid, and
possibly the date of death of this pensioner, you
should apply to The Comptroller General, General
Accounting Office, Records Division, this city,
and furnish the following data:

Gentlemen,
     I am trying to find information
regarding the families of Lisenbys living
in Chesterfield District So.C. after the
Revolutionary War.
     One Charles Lizenby served in
the Revolutionary War in the 3rd S.C.
Regiment commanded by Col. Wm Thompson.
He enlisted Dec 1, 1777. Have you any
information as to who his parents, brothers,
sisters, wife, or children were and when and
where they were born, married and to
whom married or any migrations of
the family.
     My great grandfather was one Coker
Lisenbee born 1804 Chesterfield District,
S.C. His family moved to Alabama
thence to Utah.
     The surname of Lisonbee is spelled
Page 16

many different ways and often the same
persons name appears spelled differently
Lazenby, Leasonbee, Lizenby, Lezenby, Lisenbie
Lesenbee are some of the ways you can
expect to find it recorded.
     I am especially interested in a James
Rueben and Abraham Lizenby located
in S.C. after the Revolution. Also a Jonathan
Terrell of same place.
     Any information regarding these
early families would be appreciated.
Yours respectfully
Mrs Lora L. Hancock
