Sir
I herewith send to your office the pension
application of Mrs Anna Kyle claiming
a Pension on account of the Revolutionary
service of her first husband Matthias Mark
I have no doubt but what he was a Revolution
ary Soldier and she could not be mistaken
as he served one tour after marriage, I have
not been able to find any persons who
was knowing to his service therefore have not
been to the expence in procuring proof of mar
riage, Mrs Kyle alleges that her husband served
some under Capt Scutchwell or Scratchwell and that Cristopher & Henry Crumb were in the same Company with her husband during some of his service. Said marriage can be proven if necessary but if the Records in your office furnish proof of the service of said Mauk there would be no use of making proof of Marriage therefore I send her application without proof of marriage and request whatever advise you may think
proper to give in the case
Very Respectfully your most
Obe Servant

Your file BA-J/AWF
Dear Mr. Hiller:
With further reference to my inquiry as
to the Revolutionary War record of John Barrow. He was a
brother of William Barrow who died in 1829. The family
seems to have lived near Middletown, Virginia about twelve
miles from Winchester in that part of Frederick County which
is now incorporated in the county of Warren, where he may
have settled following the War, I do not know.
I would also like information on one Matthias
Mauck who seems to have come from Germany in 1747 and who also
settled in the same general neighborhood and who is said to
have served his country from that county.
Whatever information you can give me will be
greatly appreciated,
Yours Truly,
Henry Gleim
