Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter relative to
soldiers of the Revolutionary War.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office
are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon military service of soldiers in that war.
A careful search of the records fails to show
such a claim on file on account of the services of Thomas Floyd, Andrew Floyd or Henry L. Floyd, all spellings of the names searched.
The data contained herein were obtained from the papers on file in the Revolutionary War claim for pension, S. 39528, based upon the military service of Henry F. Floyd in that war.
The date and place of birth and the names of the parents of Henry F. Floyd are not given.
Henry F. Floyd enlisted in Berkeley County, Virginia, in August, 1776, served as private in Captains Marquis Calmes' and Holmes' Companies, Colonels Spotswood's and Febiger's Virginia Regiment, was in the battles of Hackensack, Princeton, Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, Stony Point, Paulus Hook and many other small engagements, and afterwards was in the battle of Buford's Defeat (Waxhaws) where he was taken prisoner, but made his escape; length of his service six years.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 30, 1818, at which time he was aged sixty-eight years and a resident of Monongalia County, Virginia.
Page 12

In 1820, the soldier referred to his wife, Elizabeth, as then aged thirty-six years, but did not give her maiden name nor the date of their marriage he also referred to the following children: Catharine, John, Thomas, Elizabeth, Mary Ann and Malinda Ann, aged respectively
fourteen, ten, eight, six and four years, and seventeen months.
Henry F. Floyd died December 16, 1829, leaving a widow and children. His widow remarried in about twenty years and was living with her husband in 1851; the name of this
husband is not stated.
Henry F. Floyd referred to a brother but did not give his name.
In 1820, one Michael Floid made affidavit in Monongalia County, Virginia, in support of soldier's claim for pension but no relationship was stated and there are no further
family data.

Sir
In reference to the enclosed letter, I hear to inform you that there is no act of Congress allowing pensions to widows of revolutionary war, who were married subsequent to the 1st of January 1800
It appears from the original declaration of Henry F. Floyd that he was finally discharged in 1782; he did not therefore, acquire a right to Bounty Land from the United States; rec soldier of the revolution being entitled to such bounty unless enlisted for "during the war", and continued to the end thereof in 1783.
