Comr of Pensions
Dear Sir
Danl Price decd of Russell County
was pensioned under act of 7th of June 1832, at Thirty Dollars a year. you will perceive by the enclosed
letter some kind Gentleman, has been pleased to inform the Heirs, there are several Hundreds of dollars due them
in right of their Father, in the absence of any knowledge on which Wm Mackland bases the Claim for
additional arrearage of pension. They immagine it to just on the fact, that Danl Price performed Eighteen months service, when in fact, he was
pensioned for six months service, the Heirs have urged me to investigate the case, believing Mr Mackland is not the only one who can obtain any
thing due, thereby Implying a tardiness in the Department in granting what is just to applicants.
for myself, I recognise no such doctrine, and have said to the Heirs, Execute a power of Attorney, and if
you are honestly entitled to any thing, you will be informed through me, at such time, as may be Convenient
I enclose power of Attorney.
I am Dear Sir

The papers relating to the claim of Daniel Price of Russell County Virginia, which I had lost, have been
found, and returned to me this morning, and are herewith inclosed to you. Since they were returned me
some years ago they have been delayed from causes over which the applicant had no controll. They were by me at his request forwarded to a gentleman to obtain the evidence or certificate of Genl Wade Hampton
of S Carolina, who died before an opportunity offered for taking that proof. We then endeavoured with difficulty and delay to obtain the additional testimony which accompanies the claim. I hope
his case will be taken up for examination as early as you can, and the result communicated to me.
I inclose also, a written discharge for three months services

Virginia Russell County to wit
On this 6th day of August 1833 again personally appeared before the County Court of Russell County and State of Virginia (the said Court being a Court of record), Daniel Price who
swore to and subscribed his original declaration before the same court on the 4th day of September in the year 1832 in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of
Congress passed June 7, 1832, who after being again duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following statement as an amendment to his original declaration of aforesaid, pursuant to the requisition of the War Department, as contained in a brief returned with his
original declaration.
That he entered the Service of the United States in the war of the revolution as stated in his original Declaration and Served as therein stated under the officers therein named. That he knows of no witness now living who can testify to his services in either tour which he served in that war and that he can now produce no positive proof of his services in the said war, except the
written discharge for one tour, which he transmitted with his original declaration to the War Department and which he will again transmit with his amended declaration – That he has long since removed from the State of South Carolina to the County of Russell in which he has resided
ever since, so that if any of those who were his companions in the war of the revolution still survive he has neither the knowledge or the opportunity of knowing it. So that he having served in the State of South Carolina and residing now in the State of Virginia at a considerable distance
from where he then lived, and many of those with whom he was personally acquainted in the war
of the revolution having like himself emigrated to other parts of the world, and many having died, and the said Daniel Price being himself an old man, he thinks it hardly possible that after such a lapse of time, that it will ever be in his power to produce positive testimony to his Services, but hopes from the standing and character which he has acquired amongst those who have long known him, to furnish as good evidence of a secondary nature as any surviving soldier of the revolution.
