Dear Madam:

You are advised that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 40725 that Daniel Workman enlisted in Lewisberg, Greenbrier County, Virginia, September 12, 1776 and served one year in Captain Matthew Arbuckle's company, Colonel John Neville's Virginia regiment.

He was allowed pension on his application executed September 25, 1818, at which time he was a resident of Logan County, Ohio and aged seventy-eight years.

It is stated that he died about September 10, 1823 in Logan County, Ohio, leaving the following heirs:  Elizabeth Dodge, the wife of Nathan Dodge and James Workman.

In 1855 Elizabeth Dodge was living in Boone County, Indiana, and at this time James Workman is referred to as James Mc. Workman.

The soldier's only living child in 1859 was a daughter, who was about eighty years old, her name is not designated.

The above noted Daniel Workman is the only soldier of that name that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.

Very truly yours,

Daniel Workman, a pensioner & Soldier of the Revolution died in this County, about the 10th of Sept. 1823. all of which appears of Record in the Court of Com. Pleas. together with full proof that Elizabeth Dodge wife of Nathan Dodge & James Workman are the only Surviving heirs.  Said Workman was, in 1818, placed on the Pension Rolls, and again dropped, & in 1820 restored again, drawing from that time until his death $96 per year pension - The amount to which he was entitled from 1818 & 1820, was never paid to him, & I presume should be paid to the heirs.  Will you give this matter in charge of the proper officer & report me.  I am fully authorized to Demand & receive the amt.  You will please order its payment if found due - by the agent at Cincinnati

Elizabeth Dodge, formerly of Logan County Ohio but now a resident of this county, desires me to make inquiry as to the situation to her claim as heir at law of Daniel Workman a Revolution Pensioner, for arrears of Pension due said Workman at his death & which descended to herself and one James Mc. Workman his heirs at law at his decease.
She made application some time in 1832 or 1833 & forwarded the proof & has heard nothing of the matter since from the Deponent & can get no satisfactory answer from her Agent in Bellefontaine Ohio.
Has this money been drawn?  If so by whom?  & How much?

Your reply was received this morning in regard to Daniel Workman, Revolutionary

Soldier.

In the Ohio was records he was 94 years old.

In the statement that you have given me he was 83 years old when he died.

It is evidently the same record.

What I looked up here gave Dec. of Mar 1835, Pend
Page 34

Ohio 74 Commencement of pension Sept. 25, 1818 -- 94 years.

If he were, per your statement, 78 in 1818 and if he died in 1823 he would be 83 years old.

What I wanted to know most of all was his birth place.  Was he born in Coleraine, Mass?
