Sir

Accompanying this please receive the pension papers of William Daniel, who has failed to call for his stipend since 4th March '34, for your inspection. - The reason assigned by the attorney for the tardiness of the pensioner was, that "as the sum was small and the distance considerable he thought he might as well draw several payments at once, not being aware that it made any difference"
Respectfully

Dear Sir: -
I am in receipt of your letter of Nov. 23rd. I am very sorry I was so remiss as not to mention the War when asking for services.
These people, William Daniel and Beverly Daniel of Ky, both enlisted in the Revolutionary War from Louisa County Va. (I think) but came to Ky. with their parent about 1788 or 1789. There, William settled in Campbell Co. and Beverly in Montgomery Co. You mention a darkey in the Civil War of the name of Beverly Daniels - He most probably was a slave of the Daniel family.
I am trying to complete the family history of this branch of the Daniel family. Judge Wm B. Newman (of the Board of Appeals) in his recent  articles on the "Middlesex Daniels" in Tylers Quarterly states these two were Rev. soldiers. I felt I could get this information from your Department and not trouble the judge for this as he is not a well

Dear Madam:

This is in reply to your letter of November 18, 1931, in which
you request "the services of William Daniel of Campbell County, Kentucky
and Beverly Daniel of Montgomery County, Kentucky" both of whom you
believe were pensioned. The data you have given is insufficient for
identification.
The alphabetical list of claims filed was searched and no
William Daniel or Beverly Daniel appears to have filed from Kentucky.
One Beverly Daniels who filed from Kentucky, was pensioned for
service in Co. K., 122d United States Colored Infantry, Civil War.
If you will state the purpose for which you seek the above
information and return this letter with more data, further effort will be
made to identify the services requested.
Please state in what war if any did the soldier serve. If
survived by a widow, her name and those of his children should be given--
places of residence since termination of service might aid.
Letters addressed to this office requesting information should
always state for what purpose such information is sought.
Your enclosed stamped envelope is herewith returned.
Very truly,

E. W. MORGAN
Director, Pension Service.
