Sir:
Somtime ago I enclosed to you 
a power of Attorney in the case of Bazel 
Estes. Applicant for a pension for services 
of the Revolutionary war from the County
of Estill Kentucky.
I would thank you if you will 
look into this case and inform me 
whether it is allowed or not and, if not 
allowed, please state the points in the case.

I have the honor to 
be your very obedient 
servant

Proctor, Owsley Co. KY, 20th Nov, 1856

Sir: I herewith enclose to you a power of
attorney from Charles Estes, so that I can look into his father's claim, Brazzel or Brazil 
Estes. He thinks he applied from Estill County
Kentucky, but if not from Estill County, you 
will look for Clay and Madison Counties, but I
presume Charles is right in saying it was 
Estill. I want to know all the points 
in the case - what is lacking (if anything) 
and if the money has been drawn, 
who by, or wether it has been allowed 
at all.

I have the honor 
to be your very
obedient servant

Sir
The chief object of the inquiry in the above named case was to ascertain whether there had ever been any declaration of other papers filed in your office by said Eastes in his lifetime - 
If so please inform me and give me an abstract of his statements or the other evidence on file.

Respectfully

Sir,

C. H. Barclay of Louisville Ky and just the other day I was informed also there was no claim on file in the Department on the list of the 7th June 1832 of Brazile Estes.  I suppose as I have been informed it was an invalid claim sent in perhaps 30 years ago. I merely send the power of Atts. as it revokes all others powers of this sort, and to seek your attention to see wether it is not on the invalid list, Act of 1828 or some of the Acts that this one is a supplemental to. If it is one the Invalid list I would be glad that you report it to me however if it is not I shall proceed to prepare the case anew.

I have the honor to be
your very obedient Servant

Memorandum

Birzele Eastes or Estis a Revolutionary Soldier - Went from Estill Co. Ky to South Carolina and North Carolina about 8 to 10 years ago -- got proof of his services from Fellow Soldiers and perhaps from some of his offices then living brought his proof back with him, gave all into the hands of H. C. Harris Esq. Who then lived on Big Sandy River after which he never heard anything further from there.

Services were three months, nine months and ten months in South Carolina troops - He was wounded in a battle by being shot through the knee (left I think).  I do not now remember his offers unless, perhaps one of them was the name of Jackson. 

He may have served in the Georgia or North Carolina Troops -

He died in this county (Estill) some 5 or 6 years ago - Left no widow at his death.

Present surviving children Elisha Eastes, David Eastes, and Lott Eastes, Estill County Kentucky and Mrs. Elisha J. Glenn in DeKalb County Missouri about four years ago.
