New York.

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Daniel Hartley, S.36571, his son, Lodwick Hartley, and of Hezakiah Prator, Prather or Prathor, who married Eleanor Hartley.

There is no claim for pension on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War or the War of 1812 of any Lodwick Hartley, or Hezekiah Prator, all spellings of the surname searched. The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in the Revolutionary War pension claim S.36571, based upon the military service in that war of Daniel Hartley.

The date and place of birth and names of the parents of Daniel Hartley are not shown.

Daniel Hartley enlisted in Berkeley County, Virginia (later West Virginia), August 9, 1776, served as private in Captain Gabriel Long's company, Colonel Daniel Morgan's 11th, Virginia Regiment, was at the battle of Stillwater and surrender of Burgoyne, at the battles of Edge Hill and Monmouth and was discharged December 26 or 27, 1779.

He was allowed pension on his application executed June 25, 1818, at which time he was aged sixty-three years and resided in Shelby County, Kentucky.

In 1820, he stated that his family then residing with him consisted of his wife, aged about fifty-four years, and three children, a daughter, aged about fourteen years and two sons, one aged about twelve and the other about six years. He did not give the names of wife or children.
Page 14

In 1837, soldier had moved to Indiana, to be near his children and was residing with a son in Clark County, Indiana, within a few miles of New Albany, Indiana. The name of the son was not designated. One Hugh Hartley stated in December 1837, in Clark County, Indiana, that he had known the soldier, Daniel Hartley, for many years but he did not state his relationship to him.

In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the name and address of person paid and possibly the date of death of Daniel Hartley, you should address the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following:

I am requested to ask of you information in the following case 
Daniel Hartley who drew a pension first in the State of Kentucky and which was subsequently transferred to Indiana died in 1837.  He served some three years in the Virginia State Service, and as I understand the act of Congress was entitled to scrip, and that Congress is from time to time [illegible] the same as the claims are adjudicated by Virginia, there is however a small amount behind  on Daniel Hartley pension, the amount due from the time of making his last application, untill [sic] his Death, will you please advise me upon these two points, his children {illegible]to make application for the scrip that their Father was entitled to, he having enlisted to serve during the War.  Your earliest attention to this will much oblige.

In response to your letter of April 24, 1922.
you are advised that a careful search of the records
of this Bureau fails to show a claim for pension on file
for Daniel Hartley who is reported on the Census of Pensioners
of 1840, as a resident of Crawford County, Ga.

The census of pensioners quoted by you was compiled
from the returns of the marshalls of the several judicial
districts, under the act for taking the sixth census
and without reference to the records of this Bureau
and it is not always possible to verify the data contained
therin.

My dear sir, Iwrote your department several weeks ago in regard to a record of the services of one Daniel Hartley, and not having a reply and thinking probably the letter might have miscarried and being very anxious to obtain this Iam writing again

The Daniel Hartley who is my ancestor and whose record I am seeking is the one mentioned by Knight in his Revolutionary Roster of pages 417, 451 and 457 and in the pension census of 1840 as drawing a pension, age 97 years and living with his son in Crawford County,Georgia.

I have this paper on file with the D.A.R. registrar in Washington and she has written me that I have not the correct record of his service, so , you under stand my desire to obtain it direct from you. 

If you have not the time to give this your attention, I am enclosing stamped envelope that you may kindly give me the address of some one who can give it to me authoritatively,
Thanking your sincerely,
Yours truly,
