Dear Sir:

 Reference is made to your request for information relative to Revolutionary War pensioner, William Goad, who was from Sullivan County, Tennessee.

The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, W. 1413, based upon military service of William Goad. He signed in person as William Goad but was pensioned as William Good.

He was born February 6, 1754, in Bedford County, Virginia. The names of his parents were not given.

He moved with his father to Pittsylvania, County, Virginia, and while living there he enlisted in February 1779, served five months and one day as private in Captain William Watchers or Withcher's company in Colonel Mills' Virginia regiment and was in the battle of Stone. Having moved to what was then the western part of North Carolina but was later Tennessee, he enlisted early in Spetember, 1780, served three months as private in Captain Benjamin Clark's company in Colonel John Sevier's North Carolina regiment and was in the battle of King's Mountain. He enlisted late in September or early in October, 1781, and served until sometime before Christmas in December, 1781, as private in Colonel John Sevier's North Carolina regiment.

He was allowed pension on his application executed August 20, 1833, at which time he was living in Sullivan County, Tennessee.
Page 18

Wiilliam Goad died January 9, 1843, in Sullivan County, Tennessee.

He married November 14, 1820, in Sullivan County, Tennessee, Mary Hall.

She was allowed pension on her application executed March 18, 1853, at which time she was living in Washington, County, Tennessee, and she then stated she was aged about fifty-five years. In 1855 she was living in Washington County, Tennessee, and stated  she was aged fifty-four years.

In 1855 one Peter Goad was living in Washington County, Tennessee, relationship to the soldier not shown.

There are no further data relative to the family of William Goad.

In order to obtain the date of last payment of the pension of Mary Goad, the name and address of the person to whom it was paid and possibly the date of the widow's death, it is suggested that you address the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, Washington, D.C., giving the following data:

Mary Goad or Good, widow of William Goad or Good, Certificate 1458, issued August 22, 1853, rate $33.33 per annum, commenced February 3, 1853, Act of February 3, 1853, Jonesboro, Tennessee Agency.

In regard to this claim, it seems strange that you cannot admit the evidence upon which Wm Good's pension was allowed, and upon which the widows was allowed, for pension, the proof officiants for the land claim also. Is the land claim of more dignity than that of the pension?  Mrs. Good's original pension papers are on file in your office--have been there for years, Now, query, will not such a file of papers constitute new evidence officiants? When the act calls for new evidence, it means, in my judgment, evidence that is on file, is recorded, in some legally constituted public office and is not the pension office such?  You should [illegible] that there are "Rev'y claims" made where the widows and soldiers both are on the list of pensioners, it looks very hard to say that a service of 14 days is not established, when no pension can be allowed when the very office which [illegible] this claim, must have been before satisfied that the soldier did serve six months at least, -- I should like to know how you explain such an inconsistency.  But query, did not Good furnish a discharge in some written record of his service more at the time of his service?  If not, in whose company did he serve, and where --what Co. & State-- so that I may look out for records.  Please [illegible] me list of
