Mrs. John B. Mayer
3430 Kromer Avenue
Everett, Washington.
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Thomas Davis of South Carolina, who married Nancy
Rivers; Bradbury Gilman, Simeon Gilman, and Frederick Rivers.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States
for pension and bounty land based upon the military service of soldiers in that war.
A search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the services of Bradbury Gilman, Sim
Gilman, and Frederick Rivers.
It is suggested possible means of securing data relative to the military service of these soldiers, that you apply to The Adjutant General,
War Department, Washington, D.C.
The data furnished herein were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 8655, based
upon the Revolutionary War service of Thomas Davis.
He was born March 22, 1760 in Chesterfield District, South Carolina; the names of his parents are not given.
Thomas Davis served as a private with the South Carolina troops (specific dates of service not
Page 14

given), as follows
He enlisted a short time before Christmas and served nine months in Captain Morris (Maurice) Murphy's
company, under Major Robert Lloyd; one month in Captain John DeWitt's company, Colonel George Hicks' regiment; from February 8, in Captain [Thomas] Ellerbee's company,
Colonel George Hicks' regiment, was taken prisoner at the siege of Charleston, May 11, and was discharged on parole, May 19, one months in Captain William Preswood's [Prestwood] company; one month in Captain [Lemuel] Benton under Major Tristam [Tristram] Thomas; and two tours of two weeks each on scouting duty, no names of officers given.
The soldier, Thomas Davis, was allowed pension on his application executed March 17, 1838, then a
resident of Chesterfield District, South Carolina.
It is also stated that he was pensioned by the state of South Carolina. He died March 20, 1845 in Chesterfield District.
Thomas Davis married in the year 1737 or 1788, in Chesterfield District, South Carolina, Nancy Rivers.
Pension was allowed on an application executed February 16, 1853, at which time the widow, Nancy
Davis, was referred to as of extreme old age. She died December 15, 1853.
They had ten children and reared nine of them. Their first child, Samuel, was born in the summer of 1788, and went to the western country about
1828; second child, William, was sixty-three of age in 1853 and living in Chesterfield District, South Carolina; their youngest child was born in December, 1812; the name of the youngest child not given, nor
are the names of other children shown.
The soldier, Thomas Davis, referred to an elder brother, but did not state his name. William Rivers was born February 25, 1776 and in 1852 a resident of Chesterfield District, South Carolina, and referred to
the widow, Nancy Davis, as his aunt; he stated that
Page 15

his son, Malachi Rivers, was
born August 12, 1812. There are no
further data in this claim relative to family
