Dear Madam:

    Reference is made to your request for information in regard to Revolutionary War soldiers, surname Cheely and Tye.

    Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon the military service of soldiers in the war.  A careful search of the records fails to show such claim on file on account of the service of any soldier surnamed Cheely.

    The date which follows were obtained from papers on file in pension claim, S.40607, based upon Revolutionary War service of William Tye, the only soldier of that surname that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.

    William Tye enlisted at "Litle York", Pennsylvania, served in Captain Bush's company in Colonel Hartley's regiment, was in the battle of Paopi after which he served four years and five months as private in a New Jersey Regiment, was in the battle of Springfield and was discharged by Major Richard Cox on June 5, 1783.

    He was allowed pension on his application executed June 3, 1818, at which time he was seventy-five years of age and living in Columbia County, Pennsylvania.

    In 1820he was living in Columbia County and stated that he had no family with the exception of an only son (name not given) with whom he then lived.  There are no further date relative to soldier's family.

    The date and place of birth of William Tye were not given.  He died February 1, 1825.

Very truly yours

Gentlemen:

    Please tell me if you have any records of a Revolutionary soldier by the name of Tye (TYE). Captain Tye was a Confederate soldier of some distinction, and I imagine, he had revolutionary ancestors who were soldiers.  Capt. Tye was a native of North Carolina.
   
      Also, of a soldier named Cheely whose son was a Georgian.

    Thanking you greatly for your attention to the request.

Very truly,
//s//
