Mr. J. B. Sims
Rolla Missouri

Dear Sir:
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, R. 6713, based upon the military service of William McGarity.
He was born February 14, 1756, in Cecil County, Maryland. The name of his parents were not given.
He applied for pension March 13, 1835, at which time he was living in Chester District, South Carolina, where he stated he had lived since first called into service but at that time it was called Craven County.
He alleged that he served with the South Carolina troops as follows: from December, 1775, one and one half months under Captain Robert Patton and Colonel Joseph Kershaw in Colonel Thompson's rangers; from the fall of 1778, at least seven months under Captain John Nixon and Colonel John Winn and was in the battles of Kettle Creek and Stono; from a few days after the battle of Waxhaws in 1780, served at least nine months under Captains John McClure, John Nixon and Stewart under Colonels Richard Winn, Lacy and Pearson, was in the battles of Rocky Mount, Hanging Rock, Fish Dam Ford and Black Stocks; from August, 1781, served at least three weeks under Captain Robert Hannah and Colonel Bratton and was in the battle of Monk's Corner; in the fall of 1781 he was elected first lieutenant in Captain James Crawford's company in Colonel Lacy's regiment and served until the close of the Revolution, three months as lieutenant and eighteen months as private, and was engaged in scouting.
Page 7

William McGarity's claim for pension was not allowed as proof of the alleged service was not furnished in accordance with the requirement of the pension law.
There are no data relative to wife and children of this soldier.

Sir
In reply to yours of 9 instant accompanying the papers in the case of William McGarity I have to state that the reference to the Comptroller Genl. of South Carolina in mine of 6 ult was with a view of obtaining record evidence of the amount & grade of the service which the claimant rendered in the revoy. war and did not relate to the papers upon which the Legislature had inscribed him upon the roll of Pensioners as you seem to suppose. This record evidence it is believed can be procured and the regulations imperiously require that each claimant shall produce the best proof in his power as Parol testimony can not be received to establish facts of which there should be record evidence, untill it distinctly appears that are no records.
The papers are placed on file to await the receipt of the Comptroller Genls. certificate respecting any evidence the archives of his office may afford of Claimants services

Sir
I have examined the papers in the case of William McGarity and herewith return them.
Among all the witnesses who testify in favor of the claimant and his services, but one says any thing of his having been commissioned. If such was the fact, it is more than probable that evidence of it may be found among the archives in the Comptroller Generals Office, and also of the amount of his services, both as a private and Lieut. St present the evidence upon this point is not satisfactory. The certificate of the Treasurer does not establish either, but mainly shows that he has been in the receipt of a pension from the State.
I am very Respectfully
Your Ob. Sert.

Sir,
I have recd. your letter, accompanying the copy of an Indented issued to William McGarrity, from which it appears that the claim of Mr. McGarrity against the State of So. Ca. was not for military services, but "for sundries for militia use."
In his declaration Mr. McGarrity, has set forth the following services, to wit, in 1778 a tour of 7 months in Capt Nixons company, in 1780 a tour of 9 months under Colonels Lucy & Bratton as a private and a tour of 3 months in 1782, as a Lieut., making nearly two years service in all.
From the fact, that the State at the close of the revolution liquidated all claims for military services rendered during that period, that one presented and allowed, by the issue of Indents for the amount so allowed, it was but reasonable to suppose that the archives in the Executor Offices of the State, would furnish evidence in the present case; the fact however is otherwise. There were undoubtedly many soldiers who rendered valuable services, who never did present the claims, & of course no Indents were issued to them. The absence therefore of the kind of evidence is not conclusive, in all can that no services were rendered. But where,
Page 19

as in the case of Mr. McGarrity an account against the [illegible] was settled in 1784 and on Indent issued to him for the amount, and his present alleged militia services forming no item in the accounts, a very strong presumption is raised against his claim. To say nothing of the very equal difference between his statement and the well known course of the Militia Services of So. Ca. 
Mr. McGarrity may have rendered of highly important and valuable services during this period of the revolution, but from all the facts in the case, it is very doubtfull whether these services were military. There is certainly no evidence that the State recognized them as such, but on the contrary that they were never claimed for, or if claimed for, disallowed, is inferred from the records in the Comptrollers Office. The case will remain suspended and the papers are placed on file.

Dear Sirs:
I am gathering records as to my ancestors. And if you can give me any information as to Edward Sims, I shall appreciate it. I have been told that he served in the Revolutionary War at Charleston, S. C. Then my paternal great grandfather, William McGarity is said to have seen service in the battle of Brandywine. And I am seeking records as to his service. And it is reported that James Sims, my grandfather was with General Jackson at New Orleans. It is my impression that all three of these were from Chester District, South Carolina.
If you have any records as to places of birth with the dates thereof I shall thank you for the information.
Just now I am building " a family tree," and this information will be of great service to me.
I shall thank you most sincerely,
Yours very truly,
