Sir

I herewith enclose the papers of Mrs Walker praying for a pension under the act of congress of July 4th 1836. You will find with the papers a power of Attourney [Attorney] authorizing me to act of her.
Her husband John Walker was in the regular service in the company of Capt [Captain] Thomas McCrory in the ninth Regiment of the North Carolina line of which John Williams was Col [Colonel]. He drew lands from North Carolina for his services. This presumed that there is evidence sufficient at Washing [Washington] to place John Walker on the pension and if any more testimony is necessary to extend it to the widdow [widow] you will be good enough to inform me as promptly as possible directed to Dr Geo [George] H Parker Paris Henry County Tenn [Tennessee]

Dear Sirs:
Please give me the following information regarding a Revolutionary Soldier:
I wish to know if one John Walker, who lived in Duplin County North Carolina during the Revolutionary War, and sometime shortly after the year August 19th 1818, made his will in Hawkins County, Tennessee. I suppose if he received a pension that he received it at Rogersville, Tenn [Tennessee] in that County, or he may have received it at Knoxville, but he was living in Hawkins county, as his will is recorded in that courthouse, and his wife Elizabeth survived him, and was xxxxxxxxx executor of the Will. Also wish you would please advise if he received any land warrant, or military land warrant, and give any information about him that is possible.
He is my ancestor.

Dear Sir:

I am enclosing a letter from the Adjutant General regarding some John [underlined: Walkers] who served in the Revolutionary war, and I want to find out if any of these men received a pension for said services.

I am particularly interested in one John Walker, from Duplin County North Carolina, who moved to Tennessee shortly after the Revolution, and took up land first in Green county, Tenn [Tennessee], and that part of Green County was later cut off and made into a county called Spencer, and then that county was later named Hawkins County. This John Walker was living in Hawkins County, Tenn [Tennessee] when he made his Will, Aug [August] 19-1818. Will you please look into your records and see if you can find anything about him. This John Walker was my ancestor.

Yours very truly,

Annie Walker Burns.

Madam:

I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 64, it appears that John Walker enlisted, place and date not stated, and served one year as quartermaster sergeant in Captain Thomas McCrory’s Company in Colonel John Williams’ North Carolina Regiment.

He married November 30, 1780, in Guilford County, North Carolina, Elizabeth, her maiden name not given.

He died December 24, 1816.

His widow, Elizabeth was allowed pension on her application executed October 18, 1838, at which time she was eighty-one years of age and was living in Hickman County, Tennessee.

John and Elizabeth Walker had the following children:
Hannah C. born April 22,1782, married — Mabery [Maberry].
Richard “ “ 16,1784.
Thomas McCrory “ August 27,1786.
Francis “ March 1,1789.
Jack “ December 5,1791.
Elizabeth “ September 4,1794.
Page 29

The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to an Allen Walker, and no information in regard to a William Walker who was born in Virginia and who later lived in Tennessee.

The warrant numbers cited by you do not refer to land granted by the United States. For information relative to the same, you should consult the archives at the capitals of the states from which the soldiers served.

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letters in which you request the Revolutionary war record of Green Walker of Halifax, North Carolina, that of his father, John Walker, also Revolutionary War records of soldiers with the surname, Hughes, Weatherly, and Anderson. You cite a John Walker recorded in “King Mountain Men” whose children received a pension August 6, 1837.

The record has been found of one Green Walker only, who received a pension for service in the Revolutionary War. The record has been found also of a John Walker of North Carolina. These two records are furnished you herewith. Your citation in regard to the pension which was paid to John Walker’s children in 1837, may pertain to a pension paid by the state of North Carolina or to some special Act of congress in which instances this office would have no record of the transaction.

No records can be identified of the Anderson, Hughes, and Weatherly in whom you are interested, without their full names and some data by which to identify their records.
