Dear Sir
Immediately the receipt of yours of
the 4th April last. I applied to the Comptroller Genl Office  of this State for the informal
desired respecting the claim for Pension on
one of the Revolutionary Service of Daniel O' Dom I on yesterday read the inclosed paper from the Comptroller Genl.  It is believed that Mr Daniel O'Dom was a pensioner up to the time of his death. (and if so)  that he recd His Pension in Charleston.  There is no one now living (that I can find) that knows any they
definite of the matter   his daughter Mrs Grimes (& my mother) Mrs. H. R. Rice believes that their Father was a pensioner and that he (Mr O'D.) Recd his money through the hands of of the late Robert Martin of Charleston.
I am veryy Respectfully
Your Most Obt. St.

Dear Sir
I some time ago had same papers prepared and proven, for the purpose of trying to obtain whatever may or might be convey
to the two remaining children of Daniel O'Dom
decd. a Revolutionary soldier.  at the time the papers were prepared, the Family Bible containing the record of the Family could not be found & was supposed to be lost, but getting some account of it soon
after the papers were proven, I deemed it best
to obtain the Bible if possible.  The Bible had been given to the Honl. R.B. Rhett some time between the years 1840 & 1843, by a son of Mr Daniel O'Dom who also soon after died and the two remaining children of Mr Daniel O'Dom (Daughter) did not  know whether Mr Rhett had returned it to their
Brother or not, or yet had it in his possession.
Mr Rhett was applied to for the Bible, but for
a long time could get no account of it. He
(the Honl Mr Rhett) however did succeed last week in finding it & sent it to me by Express, day before yesterday.
The Family record in the Bible refered to
is substantially correct or corresponds presisely as to all the dates &c. in the Declaration of Mrs Harriet R. Rice
Page 6

and Mrs Mary Grimes daughters of Daniel O'Dom, herewith inclosed
I trouble you with the foregoing explanation to shew in part the reason that the
papers were not forwarded before and to ask
you to be so kind as to inform me whether or
not it will still be necssry now to have this  record in the Bible certified & forward it also, or will the papers have to be made out again.  Is it asking too much to beg; that you will give me the necssry instructions on all parts in the matter. So as to enable me to have this matter disposed of as soon as possible.
Inclosed also please find a Note
from our immediate Representative in Congress the Honl L. M. Rett
I am very Rescply

Madam:
February 3, 1916.
In response to your letter of the 24" ultimo, you are advised that from the papers in the pension claim R. No. 7767, it appears that Daniel Odom served during the Revolution as a Private in Captain Benjamin Odom's company, Colonel Harden's regiment of
Militia, and that in December 1781, he was desperately wounded, nature of wound and further details of service not stated.
He was pensioned for said wound from September 4, 1789.
Soldier married Elizabeth Walker on October 6, 1782, he died in Barnwell District, South Carolina, October 3, 1840, and she died January 15, 1846.
They had six children: John D. aged 54 years in 1843; Harriet R. Rice 59 years in 1853;  Mary Grimes 56 years in 1853, the only
names mentioned.
Grandchild H. B. Rice (son of Harriet R. Rice) was a resident of Grahams, Tennessee in 1855.  The statement on the printed list of 1835 that he was a Captain, is a typographical error.  The records of this Bureau show his rank as a Private

Dear Sir,
At the request of Mr. Jn'o D. O'Dom I enclose the Papers in relation to the matter concerning which he spoke to you at court.  I hope that (with the entry of the marriage in the Book now in your possession) they will prove sufficient to procure a pension for old Mrs O'Dom under the Act approved 7 July 1838 "granting half pay and pensions to certain widows" - which was extended at the last session:  I also take the liberty of sending the copy of a paper, on the strength of the original whereof another of your Constituents (Mr. Artemas Felder)
thinks himself entitled to compensation;  and requests you to inquire whether he is entitled to compensation and if so, what proofs are requisite.

Sir
The certificate of the Comptroller of So Ca of the 7th last, forwarded as evidence in the case of Elizabeth Odom widow of Daniel of So Ca
which does not differ from the one already
on file - tends to show that the soldier who
received the payments certified to was a different man from her husband.  It gives an
entirely different set of officers from those mentioned by him. It shows that the service for which the payments were allowed ended Dec 1 
1781, whereas her husband declared that he was wounded in Dec 1781, and the receipt for
said payments was given by a man who
could not sign his name, where as her husband could write and did sign his name to
his application for an Invalid pension.  There were, certainly, at least two men named
Daniel Odom in the So Ca service and it is
probable that the one for whose service a pension is claimed did not serve six months

In reply to your letter of the 22d last
you are informed that it need not be necessay
to produce the Family Bible to establish
the date of Elizabeth Oldham's marriage if the facts as he can an as we suffice them to be. Before however, we can act understandingly
it must be afirmed whether the husband of Elizabeth Odom was or was not a
pensioner at the period of his death - and
if a pensioner when his pension was paid.
and secondly, whether there is at the office
of the Comptroller of South Carolina any
chance thier notes show the Regiment in 
which a Daniel Odom rendered 228 days
Page 32

service in the militia of that state, from April
15 to Dec 1, 1781, and for which a Certificate
for £ 32  08 or 6 inscribed and S 5 0 9 1/4 was issued the 18th of Sept. 1785. His [latter/polls] information is deemed [ofichal?]; In the [news rec'd] is very clear that there were two soldiers named Daniel Odom to serve under the authority of South Carolina. If the Books of the Comptroller do not furnish the desired information, a fee searching the [[illegible ]  to the receipts for the [enclosed notes to ]still editing]] & settling the question which is deemed important in this case.
