Madam:

I advise you that it appears from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 16386, that John George enlisted at Raritan, New Jersey, in January, 1777, and served three years as a private in Captain John Flahaven's Company in Colonel Matthias Ogden's New Jersey Regiment and was in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth.

He enlisted in January, 1780, served as a sergeant in Captain Aaron Ogden's Company in Colonel Matthias Ogden's New Jersey Regiment and was in the battle of Yorktown, and was discharged in June, 1783.

He was allowed pension on his application executed June 5, 1818, at which time he was living in Mercer County, Kentucky.

In March, 1821, he stated that he was sixty-three years of age and then stated that his wife, her name not given, was living.

In 1838 he was living in Marion County, Indiana, and he stated that his children, names not given, were living there.

Dear Sir,
I am entirely unacquainted with those in the War Department, who attend to Revolutionary pension, and having learned that they have declined all business with agents unless they are known at the department. I must request this the particulars forms of you, to present a few of such claims for allowance, or give them their proper directions, I herewith enclose you a list of claims forwarded to the War department sometime since. If they have not been taken up please present them and forward the result to me. John Georges wishes his pay certificate reviewed, and claims to have been a Sargeant in the army of the Revolution he wishes to be enrolled as a pensioner under the act of 1828, and claims additional pay, see his declaration + proofs, he is an old and tired friend. Please do the best you can for him, the claims of P. Burnes [illegible] is as usual he served 1 y [year] or 18 months in the South. Wm. Southerland says he enlisted in the State of Maryland and served during the war and was wounded in the Battle of Brandywine. If he is entitled place him under the same act. James Whitecotton served 12 months in Va., and through out the Illinois Campaign. I will refer you to young Mr. Head for the character of the Reverend Thomas Kyle a Methodist Preacher. Indeed they are all men of good character. Old Jesse Shy is infirm and has forgotten many circumstances that occurred during his services, please examine their [illegible] declaration and do as you may think proper with them, and inform me accordingly; Since Gen'l Mcafee left this places the [illegible] of this business has fallen upon me, and I can't get along with it unless the assistance of some friend at the city. There is one other claim that I will please call your attention to, it is the claim of Thomas Graham an old blind man, Gen'l Mcafee has the management of his business, and his declaration was returned with one negative only. I forwarded some additional proof of his service by representation[?]. Please do something for this old man he is entirely blind and unable to attend to his business. I fear I have trespassed if so. I know you will pardon it.
Your friend sincerely

I wrote to you some time ago inquiring whether
['whether' crossed out] the accounts in your
department show a lot[?] in favor of John George who was ['a' crossed out] Sergeant and drove wagon during the [word crossed out]  entire War of the Revolution filling both positions about one half of the time.  I received no reply and therefore suppose that my letter fell into the hand of some Clerk who thought the greatest way of answering it would be to throw it into a pidgen hole being desirous to have information I mark this private with the hope that it will fall into your hands

Do the books of your department show any ballance [balance] in favor of John George a Soldier of the Revolutionary war, he was a
Sergeant and Major-  drum Major I believe and served during the entire war-  We are under the impression that their [there] is a ballance [balance] due him for rations withheld or something of that nature.
