My dear Sir:

In the Fayette County, Kentucky, list of 
Revolutionary War pensioners, I find the name of one 
NATHAN WHITE, private in Virginia Line-age 82 at the 
time he applied for the pension (1818).  I am very an

information the pension papers in your office show.

Tell me if there is any mention of the 
wife's name and children.  And will you let me know 
how I can find when the pension was last paid.

I have been searching for information of 
this Nathan White for some time and it may be that I 
have written you before-although I find no record of 
it in my files.  Any information you can give me of this 
man will be very much appreciated.

Thanking you in advance, I am

My dear Mr. Whittington:

Reference is made to your letter of March 2, in 
behalf of Mrs. Robert Tepp of Greenwood, Mississippi, whose 
letter you enclosed, who desires the Revolutionary War record 
of William White, who may have served in that war from Maryland, 
Pennsylvania or Virginia, whose son, Vachael, was born in 1765, 
in Maryland, also, the records of William's two brothers, John 
and Henry, and of his sons, John and Nathan, and the Revolution
ary War record of Roger Tepp.

A very careful search of the Revolutionary War 
records of this office has been made and no claim for pension or 
bounty land found based upon service in that war of a William 
White of Maryland, Pennsylvania or Virginia, who was old enough 
to have had a son born in 1765, nor of a Henry White of Maryland, 
Pennsylvania or Virginia, nor of a Roger Tepp.  With the meager 
information furnished by Mrs. Tepp, it has been impossible to 
identify any particular record of a John White in whom she is 
interested.  The record is furnished herewith of a John White 
of Maryland and of the only Nathan White of any southern state.
It is hoped that these two records will aid Mrs. Tepp in her 
research.

Mrs. Tepp's letter is returned herewith.

Very truly yours,

A. D. HILLER,
Executive Assistant

My dear Sir:-

In the Sons of the Revolutionary War book (Kentucky

a resident of Fayette county, Kentucky, applied for a pension, which 
was granted July 7, 1819-he gives his age as 82 years.  I am very 
anxious to know something further of this man and am asking you 
to please give me what information you find in his application for 
the pension.  If possible I should like to know where Nathan White 
was born, when he died-name of his wife and children and any other 
data contained in the application.  He served from Virginia in the 
Revolutionary War.

If it is possible for you to let me hear about this 
matter at an early date I will appreciate it very much indeed.

Thanking you in advance for any assistance you can 
give and for an early reply, I am 

Most sincerely,
