Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to John Kendrick, a soldier of the Revolutionary War, who received a pension while residing in Franklin County, Georgia.

A careful search of the Revolutionary War records has been made in your behalf and no record found of a claim for pension or bounty land having been made to the United States on account of the services of a John Kendrick or Kindrick, who is designated as of Franklin County, Georgia. You are furnished herein the records of John Kindrick, W. 4255, and of Lieutenant John Kendrick. These are the records of the only two soldiers with that name of Georgia, that are found on the Revolutionary War records of this office.

John Kendrick
Rev. Dis /

The list of pensioners reported by the Secretary of War in 1835, under the head of "Invalid pensioners who have been in receipt of pensions at the Savannah, Georgia Agency", shows "John Kendrick, Lieut. pensioned at $150 per annum under Act of September 29, 1789. Transferred from North Carolina. Died December 14, 1802."

This office has no further information in regard to that soldier because of the destruction of papers in such early pension claims when the War Office was burned in 1800 and 1814.

John Kindrick
W. 4255
John Kindrick was born in 1759, in Frederick County, Maryland. The names of his parents are not shown in the papers in the pension claim.
Page 20

(Could not identify Capts Kinner and Beckham)

While residing in Richmond County, Georgia, John Kindrick volunteered and served as a private with the Georgia Troops as follows: from April 1, 1777, until the end of that year, on tours of five or six weeks each, about six months in all, in Captain James Danielly's Company, Colonel William Candler's Regiment; all of this service was rendered on the frontier against the Indians: from about September 1
1779, about three months in Captain Skinner's Company, Colonel Benjamin Few's Regiment and was in the battle of Savannah; from about May 1, 1781, about four months in Captain Samuel Beckham's Company, Colonel Benjamin Few's Regiment; from the latter part of 1781, until peace was established in 1783, on tours of from two to six weeks each, under Captains James Danielly and Samuel Beckham, and was engaged in scouting against the Indians and the Tories;  entire length of this service more than eight months.

He was allowed pension on his application executed October 2, 1832, at which time he was a resident of Pike County, Georgia, in which place he died February 17, 1842, or in 1843 ( both dates appear).

The soldier married October 30, 1828, in Pike County, Georgia, Mary Atkinson.

Soldier's widow, Mary, was allowed pension on her application executed July 5, 1853, while residing in Pike County, Georgia. In 1855, she was aged sixty-nine years. (Date of widow's death not on file.)

In 1853, the following were the only surviving children of the soldier, John Kindrick: Sylvanus Kindrick, John Kindrick, William O. Kindrick, Adeline Freeman, Sarah Shevies (?), and Theodate Carroll.

In 1832, one Hesakiah Kindrick made affidavit in Pike County, Georgia, in support of soldier's claim for pension; in 1853, one William O. Kindrick was a Justice of the Peace for Pike County, Georgia: no relationship of either of the above noted persons with surname Kindrick to the soldier was shown, and there are no further family data.
