Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D.C.,

Dear Sir: - I am the great-grand daughter
Terence McHaney who is said to have fought in the
Revolutionary War and drew a pension at Lynchburgh,
Va. Have you his name on your list of soldiers?
My paternal great-grandfather was named Ware, -John
perhaps, as that is a very common name with us. Did
he draw a pension? I believe he was a corporal but
am not sure. If you can give me any information
about this matter you will greatly oblige.

Yours truly,
Mrs. Anna Ware Taggart,
2746 Cypress Ave., Kansas City,

I am securing information relative to
becoming a member of the Daughters of the

is necessary before I can proceed with

the genealogy of these two men, if it can be supplied
by your office.

Thanking you,
I am,    Very respectfully,
