Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you
request the Revolutionary War records of John,
Nathaniel, Thomas, and William Everingham.

The record of William Everingham which follows
was obtained from papers on file in pension claim, S. 34343, based upon his service in the War of the Revolution. This is the record of the only soldier, with the surname Everingham, (Evernham, Everham) found on file in the Revolutionary War records of this office.

The date and place of birth of William Everingham were not stated, nor were the names of his parents given.

William Everingham enlisted in Bordentown, New Jersey sometime in April, 1777, served as a private in Captain John Anderson's company, Colonel Martin's 4th New Jersey regiment, was in the battles of Short Hills, Brandywine, Germantown, and Monmouth, after which he was transferred to Captain Bowman's company,
Colonel Shreve's 2nd New Jersey regiment, and was in General Sullivan's Expedition against the Indians, in which he was wounded in his left shoulder and in his cheek; length of his entire service, three years and one month.

He was allowed pension on his application executed April 24, 1819, while a resident of White Hill,
Page 10

Burlington County, New Jersey, and stated that he was sixty-four years old; in 1820, he gave his age sixty-eight years. There is no explanation given as to this discrepancy in his age.

The soldier, William Everingham, stated in 1820  that his wife was fifty-six years of age; but he did not give her name and there are no data in regard to their marriage, and no reference to children.

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, Washington, D. C., and furnish the following data-
