Cumberland, Md. July 9th 1857.
Sir:
Moses McKenzie was a drummer in the American Army for some seven or eight years during the war of the Revolution. He received a pension during the latter part of this life. He is dead, and since his death, his widow also drew a pension until the time of her death. The papers in his case for a pension, contain the evidence of his service.
It is alleged by his children (living near this place) that when the army was disbanded at the close of the revolution, the government owed him about 200 pounds of [underlined: backpay]. Are the children of Moses McKenzie, under the act of congress, entitled to any thing for their father's services, and if so, to what are they so entitled? I think the old man also received some land from the government but of that I am not certain.
Very respectfully your obedient servant,
James Smith

In reference to your favor of the 17th [illegible]-
I would say that I should be pleased to have a copy of the application for a pension by this Moses McKenzie of whom you write. It is to be used for genealogical purposes and will no doubt give me dates and facts - which are not now in my

possession.
The record must also have some sort of record of the pension paid also to the widow of Jessie McRinger (Catherine Jones McRinger) as she received one as late as 1847 or 1850.
These three, Moses, Joshua, and Jessie served in the Ger. Reg. Maryland under Lieut. Col. Wiltmer. 7th Reg. I think.
Can you tell me what rank the pensioners held
Page 47

in the army?
Joshua and Moses McRinger enlisted Apr. 1778. If they served not their full term would they have had to receive papers of discharge
Will you also let me know if me visiting Washington can obtain access to these State papers for reference?
Yours very respectfully

My dear Sir-
Is there any record in your office of two men by name, Moses McKenzie (or McKinsey) who served in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, I think of Maryland. 
The first-Moses McKenzie said to have come from [crossed out word] Scottland and served the war. The second Moses McKenzie said to have enlisted as a drummer boy at the age of 14 years, also of Maryland. 
Thanking you for any and all information you may be able to give.
I am very truly,
