Dear Sir

In reply to your inquiry of Jan. 23rd will state James Williamson we think enlisted from Upper Darby Township, Northampton County Pennsylvania and after the war located in Dunkard Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania. His wife's name was Elizabeth. His children, named in his will dated Sept 12, 1839, and recorded Mar 28, 1840, in Waynesburg, Greene County, Pennsylvania, were as follows:

Jane Williamson Forster
Sarah Williamson Russell
Mary Williamson Able
Rachel Williamson Hart
Hugh Williamson
James Williamson

He must have died between Sept 12, 1839, and March 28, 1830. In the archives of Pennsylvania, I read that a James Williamson enlisted from Northampton County, was a fife major and in another Vol, he was an ensign was in Jacob Rudolph's Company was also commanded by Evan Evans, was a Lieutenant. A James Williamson served in a Chester County company. I am not sure this was the same man.

His son Hugh went back to Northampton County, married and reared a family and died there, the remainder of James Williamson's family stayed in Western PA. One of Hugh Williamson's sons (Daniel) came back to Greene Co. PA married and raised a family, my father and grandfather were his descendants and were born in Greene County, PA.

Commencement of pension Mar 4, 1831. Age 79 years. Annual allowance $326. He lived in Green County, Pennsylvania, in which county his last will is recorded.

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Henry Bitner, 3rd Lieutenant in the Pennsylvania troops and James Williamson, 2nd Lieutenant, 12th Pennsylvania Regiment, War of the Revolution.

Revolutionary war data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land which have been made to the United States, based upon service in that war. A search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the revolutionary war service of Henry Bitner, under any spelling of the surname.

The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in pension claim S. 22597 based upon the service of James Williamson in the Revolutionary war.

The date and place of birth of James Williamson were not given, nor were the names of his parents shown.

While residing in the borough of Reading in Berks County, Pennsylvania, James Williamson enlisted sometime in June 1775 and served one year as sergeant in Captain George Nagel's company in Colonel William Thompson's Pennsylvania Rifle Regiment. He was commissioned in the fall of 1776, 2nd Lieutenant and served in Captain Peter Withington's Company, for a few months, was then commissioned 1st Lieutenant and served in Captains Hananiah Lincoln's and Boyd's companies, and in Colonel
Page 23

George Nagel's Pennsylvania Regiment, and in Colonel William Cooke's 12 Pennsylvania Regiment: he was in the battles of Princeton, Brandywine, Germantown, wintered at Valley Forge, and in the battle of Monmouth, and resigned his commission in the winter of 1778 and 1779.

James Williamson was allowed pension on his application executed September 11, 1832, then aged seventy-seven years and living in Dunkard Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania.

The papers on file in this claim contain no reference to family.

In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name and address of person paid, and possibly the date of death of this pensioner, you should apply to the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, Washington, D.C. and furnish the following data:
