Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you furnish further information in regard to Thomas Campbell, a soldier of the Revolutionary War, who lived in Pennsylvania and died and was buried at
Pittsburgh and who had a daughter, Margaret, who lived in Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.
The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim, S.40791, based upon the military service in that war of a Thomas Campbell who applied for pension
while residing in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. It is hope that this is the soldier in whom you are interested.
The date and place of birth and names of the parents of Thomas Campbell are not shown.
Thomas Campbell enlisted in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, in December, 1781, served as a private in Captain John Craig's Company of Light Dragoons, Colonel Moylan's 4"" Regiment, Continental Line, and was discharged in July, 1783.
He was allowed pension on his application executed January 30, 1819, at which time he was aged fifty-nine years and resided in Huntington Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.
In 1821, soldier stated that he had four children residing with him but he did not give their names and there are no data in regard to his wife.
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 the Revolutionary War soldier, Thomas Campbell (S.40791), you should address the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division.

ancestor. He was a captain in the 4th Pennsylvania regiment, served from '75 to '83 and was in a number of battles and wounded three times. We do not know when or where he was born and we hoped his (or his widow's) application for pension contained such a statement, and that we could obtain it from you. Will you please look for Captain Thomas Campbell's record? My mother has the

Correspondence BA-J/EEL
Dear Sir:
In reply to your letter of March 9th., I would say that it has helped me clear up the fact that William Campbell who fought in the war of 1812 is not a son of the particular Thomas Campbell whom I am seeking. But his father's history and my ancestor are so similar that it makes it difficult to trace them.
The Thomas Campbell, whose record I am seeking, was born in Scotland in 1757, enlisted in the American Revolution in 1777, and married Elizabeth Miley in 1791. He is described in a family history as being of "slight stature and a good rider, so was chosen as an aid to General Washington. The same source states that he also served in the war of 1812.
This seemed strange to me as he would be pretty old for service then. He died and was burried in Pittsburgh but I do not know the exact date of his death.
He had a daughter, Margaret, who married Andrew Brown from Greensburg, Westmoreland Co., Pa.
Another daughter, Nancy, married a Harshberger and lived and died in Pittsburgh.
A third daughter, Hannah, married a Hazzard and lived and died

in Pittsburgh. She was the last of his children to survive and died in 1884 - 85.
He no doubt had more children but as yet I have not been able to trace them.
I am not sure of what county he served from but am inclined to think it was Westmoreland or Allegheny. Some of his people have been
located in Armstrong County but I understand that at the time of the American Revolution that was a part of Westmoreland County.
I thank you very much for the help you have already been in this matter, and if there is any further information needed kindly let me know and I will endeavor to secure it for I am very anxious to locate his record.
Most sincerely yours,

Do you have a record of any pension ever having been paid to John Ross, born in Northern Ireland in the 1740s, and serving in the American Revolution, from near Apollo, Armstrong County (perhaps known as Westmoreland at that period), Penna. under Captain Haight?
If you have a record of his pension or war service I should very much appreciate it.
