of discharge of Patrick Logan, which you stated, was given by this office as about January, 1776, in the letter furnished you on August 15, 1932.

In the papers on file in pension claim, S. 41778, based upon the military service of Patrick Logan in the Revolutionary War, the date of his birth is not shown.

his discharge is not shown.

Gentlemen:
We have from you the following memorandum:
"Patrick Logan enlisted at Redstone,  Fayette Co., Pa., in December 1777 or Jan. 1777.  Served as private in Captain Robert Beal's Co.,  Col. Russell's and John Gibson's 13th Virginia Regiment, and in Capt. James O' Hara's Co. Was in the Battle of Brandywine. Was discharged about Jan. 1776. This must be an error. He could not have been discharged before he enlisted.) He
was allowed pension Aug. 27, 1819, while
living at Butler, Ohio. He was 68 years old, living in Franklin Co.. Indiana, Pension $8 per month.
Patrick Logan was my great-great grandfather and we are very anxious to ascertain where he was born, the thought occurred to us that it might have been given on his application paper when he applied for a pension.
Would you kindly favor us with a reply?
Yours very truly,
Miss Fay Logan.

P. S. He was born in Ulster but we are unable to find out where it was in that province.
Will you please give us the correct date of his discharge?

Washington, D. C.

Dear Madam:
At the suggestion of Mr. Albert Drane, purchasing officer of the War Department, I am writing you for the record of Patrick Logan, a
soldier in the Revolutionary War. The information which I have indicates that he is the Patrick Logan on your records as applying for pension in Butler County, Ohio, in 1819, and again in Franklin County, Indiana, October 3, 1820. In the first application he gave his age as 67 and in the second as 68, and a weaver by trade. The family records of Patrick Logan indicate that he was a cabinet maker, which probably was closely associated with the trade of a weaver at that time.

It will be appreciated if you will give me this soldier's records including the date of the last payment of pension and to whom made and
at what point.

This information is desired for the purpose of establishing the lineage of one of his descendants. If any charge is exacted for supplying it, please advise me either by memorandum or by phone ( Department
of Labor, Branch 114 ), and the amount will be promptly remitted.

Respectfully,
