Dear Sir:

        Reference is made to your letter in which
you request the Revolutionary War records of John
Hanna of Virginia, and of William Hanna a gunner
from Cork, Ireland.

        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 service of a
William Hanna (similar spellings of the surname
searched), as described by you.  If you have some
of the following data relative to William Hanna,
you will please furnish it, and another search of
the records will be made in your behalf-approximate
dates of his birth and death and places of
residence at enlistment and after service.

        The data given below were obtained from the
papers on file in pension claim, S. 41607, based
upon the Revolutionary War service of John Hanna.

        The date and place of his birth are not given;
nor are the names of his parents stated.

        John Hanna enlisted in Greenbrier County, 
Virginia, sometime in the year 1777 and served in
Captains Samuel Lapsley's and Alexander Brackenridge's
Page 22

company in Colonel Gist's Continental Regiment.  He

Gentlemen:
In re: JOHN HANNA, SOLDIER IN THE
REVOLUTIONARY WAR FROM VIRGINIA.
This is a research for war record of my ancestor, William Hanna, Hannah or Hannay, name spelled in all ways, and the above, John Hanna was a soldier in that war. His record has been verified and accepted by the D.A.R., Society and it is my hopes that through John's record I may find definitel record of William Hanna.

William Hanna, is shown in War Archives as gunner, from Cork, Ireland. My emigrant was William Hannay, as spelled in Scotland the early home of the Hanna family, but I have not been able to definitely say if that man, William Hanna, the gunner from Ireland, was my ancestor or not.
A son of the emigrant by the same name, William Hanna, Jr., is alleged to have been one of Washington's Body Guards, but his name is not shown in publication-Commander in Chief's Guards, however, the list of 1776 is not shown in that publication. It is a family known fact that his sword and uniform were in possession of his son, Jackson, until fire destroyed house and contents.
The above in order to show why and what I want. viz:
I would like to complete record of John Hanna, that is; everything you have in connection with his service and especially his family. In that way I may be able to locate my William Hanna, both Senior and Junior for most likely both were in the war as the Senior lived to be 107 years old, an a soldier is shown from Ireland and my emigrant Hanna was from Ireland.
Also, have you anything in your files giving any information on William Hanna, gunner from Cork Ireland.
Thanking you in advance I am,
Yours very truly,
B Graham,
Edwin B. Graham.

Gentlemen:
Will you be so kind as to advise me of the Pension and military record of John Hanna, who died in Jackson County, Ohio, in 1845
He was my great-grand father, and our tradition is that he served with Gen Lewis' command in Dunmore's expedition to Point Pleasant and into Ohio in 1774, and was later in Washington's army, particularly at the time of The Battle of Monmouth. It is likely that his enlistment was from Greenbrier County, Va. (now W. Va) as he emigrated from that place to Jackson County, Ohio, between 1805 and 1810.
I will be grateful for any information you can give me as to his record, either as a pensioner or a soldier. My information is that he was a private, and since he lived so long after the end of The Revolution it is likely that he was on the pension roll.
Yours truly,
