Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Benjamin Buckner, of Putnam County, Georgia, and of William Arnold, of Washington County, same state.

Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land made to the United States based upon military service of soldiers in that war.

A careful search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the Revolutionary  War service of a Benjamin Buckner. The record was found of a William Arnold who applied for pension from Washington County, Georgia, and it is given below as shown in the papers on file in pension claim, S. 37684, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.

The date and place of soldier's birth and names of his parents are not stated.

William Arnold enlisted March 15, 1781, in the State of North Carolina, served as private in Captain Thomas Armstrong's company, Colonel Armstrong's North Carolina regiment, and in Captain Benjamin Carter's company, Colonel Dixon's North Carolina regiment, was in the battle of Eutaw Springs in which he was wounded, and was discharged May 1, 1782.

He was allowed pension on his application executed August 7, 1819, at which time he was aged sixty years and a resident of Washington County, Georgia.

In 1820, the soldier referred to his wife, Elizabeth, aged about sixty years. There are no further family data given in the claim.

Very truly yours
