Dear Sirs:
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help and I am very sorry to trouble you again.

But May I for information of John Beatty, Private - served in Tennessee Volunteers, and was pensioned April, 12, 1820, in Fayette County, Kentuckey [sic]? I'd appreciate any information of Colonel Thomas Beatty of Tryone County, North Carolina.

There are so many Thomas Beatties [sic] that they are confusing. If I can be advised that Colonel Thomas Beatty had sons Abel, Thomas, and John, I can know then whether he was Thomas Beatty Senior. He may have been of Rowan County, North Carolina, and had a son David who served for him under Captain Dixon. This latter Thomas may have been the son of [handwritten note in left margin: Mecklenburg] Francis Beatty of [crossed out] County, North Carolina, who died 1773.

Buckner Duke seems to have died in Georgia but I haven't been able to find very much about him there. Buckner Duke is listed, Macon's Company, 1777, period of service three years, occurrences destd. [sic] Augt '77, 7th Regiment, North Carolina Line.

I shall be very grateful to you.

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the records of John Beatty who served as private in the Tennessee Volunteers and was pensioned April 12, 1820, in Fayette County, Kentucky; of a Colonel Thomas Beatty of Tryon County, North Carolina, who had sons - Abel, Thomas and John; Colonel Thomas Beatty of Rowan County, North Carolina who died in 1773; you state that the Colonel Thomas Beatty is whom you are interested might have had a son, David, who served for him under Captain Dixon; also the record of Buckner Duke who served in the Revolutionary War from North Carolina.

The Revolutionary War records of this office have been searched carefully and no claim for pension found based upon service in that war of a Thomas Beatty or Beaty who served as a colonel, nor any claim found for a soldier named Buckner Duke. Such claims are the source of data furnished by this office in regard to soldiers of the Revolutionary War. The record has been found, however, of a David Beatty of North Carolina who served in the Revolution as a substitute for his father, Thomas. His record, and that of John Beatty who served in the Seminole Indian War, are furnished you herewith.

Information in regard to the military service of Thomas Beatty and Buckner Duke might be obtained from the Adjutant General, War Department, this city.
