Chicago, Illinois

Dear Madam:

The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 2938, based upon the service of James Haynes in the Revolutionary War.

James Haynes was born January 4, 1754 in Caroline County, Virginia, and when four or five years of age moved from there with his father to Culpeper County, Virginia;  the names of his parents were not given.

While a resident of Culpeper County, Virginia, James Haynes volunteered in 1775, served in Captain Abraham Buford's company, under Colonel Woodford in the Virginia troops, was in the battle of Hampton against Dunmore whose ships were taken in Hampton Roads, was in the battle of "Long Bridge", in Norfolk when it was burned by Lord Dunmore, sometime after which he was stationed in "Old James Town" under command of Captain Clanahan, and was discharged at the expiration of service on one year.  He enlisted early in 1777, served as private in Captain Hill's company, Colonels Barbour's and Pendleton's Virginia regiments, marched to Pennsylvania, was stationed a part of the time at Rising Sun, and continued until after the battle of Germantown, then returned to Culpeper County, Virginia, where he was discharged in December.  He volunteered next about April 1, 1780, in a company forming in Harrison County, Virginia, where his brother lived then, who volunteered also in the campaign against Indians under General McIntosh, served in Captain Craven's Virginia company, was detailed with his brother Joseph Haynes, to go as a special spy under Lieutenant Michael Trout of said company, served several months of arduous duty, returned to Harrison Court House and was discharged, length of service about seven months.  In the fall of 1781, James Haynes moved from Culpeper County, Virginia to Kentucky;  there, sometime after Christmas, he volunteered as sergeant in Captain Robert Barnet's company under Colonel John Logan, went to Carpenter's Station , lived there and assisted in building forts at Louis-
Page 22

ville, and remained in service until about May 1782.

After his service, James Haynes returned to Culpeper County, Virginia, settled in that part which was later Madison County and remained until 1809 or 1810, then moved to Dick's River, Lincoln County, Kentucky, and in 1817, moved thence to Adair County, Kentucky, which was later Russell County.

James Haynes applied for pension on account of his service in the Revolutionary War August 14, 1832, at which time he resided in Russell County, Kentucky;  he was referred to then as James Haynes, Senior.  His claim was allowed.  He died August 13, 1833.

This soldier married July 13, 1785 or 1786, in Culpeper County, Virginia, Sarah Jackson.

Sarah or Sally Haynes, this soldier's widow, was allowed pension on her application executed March 22, 1839, at which time she resided in Russell County, Kentucky.  She was aged then seventy-four years;  the date and place of her birth and the names of her parents were not given.  She was living there in the fall of 1848.

In 1839, when soldier's widow made application for pension, John Haynes, their son, resided in Russell County, Kentucky;  he was their second child and was born January 28, 1789.  His sister was more than a year older than said John Haynes, her name not stated.  No other children of James Haynes and his wife, Sarah or Sally, were designated.

In 1832, when James Haynes made application for pension, he referred to his brother, Benjamin Hayes, who has resided in Botetourt County, Virginia, about 1796.  James Haynes did not know in 1832, whether or not said brother was living.

In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name of person paid and, possibly, the date of death of this pensioner, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, this city, and furnish the following data:  Sally Haynes, widow of James Haynes, Certificate #3190, issued January 18, 1849, rate $80 per annum, commenced March 4, 1848, Act of February 2, 1848, Kentucky Agency.

Honorable Sir
I herewith send to you the declaration of Sarah Haynes for a pension under the 3rd of March 1832;  I suppose, my dear sir there can be no doubt of her rights to draw under this act, as she drew, which you know, under the 7th of July 1838;  but it may be my honorable sir this old lady, as well as some 3 or 4 other declarations, who live about her including my mother Sally Rowe may not recollect precisely under what officer her deceased husband served, & sir being under this apprehension I addressed a letter to Christopher Chinn of Harrodsburg Ky, who prepared the papers & drew her money under the act of the 7th July 1833 to give me the necessary information in this respect, but he declares only a fee of $20 each was given $10 to herself & $10 to me, I declined, believing that you would not be scrupolous and you had given the form of the declaration and as I believed to prevent at least in part, these widows from being necessitated to give such high charges;  therefore sir it is probable that this declaration & some others which I may send, may not agree exactly as to the officers &c under whom the husbands of these widows served, but if substantially I am induced to believe it will do.
Sir please on the reception of this declaration &c send me the necessary draft.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Revolutionary War soldiers with the surname Hains (Haynes, Hanes) of Virginia, who lived in Kentucky, and designated James, Thomas and Christopher as those who resided in Virginia; you state further that you desire especially to locate a James who was born in Kentucky about 1900, and moved to Indiana.

A search of the Revolutionary War records of this office has been made and no claim for pension or bounty land found of a Thomas Haynes of Virginia or Kentucky, nor of a Christopher in whose claim for pension a son, James, is shown. The record of a James Haynes has been found which may aid you in your research. His record is furnished you herewith-pension claim, W. 2938. Various spellings of the surname were used in the search of the records.

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the records of soldiers of the Revolutionary War with surnames Tapscott and Hanes, and in which you designate the names James and George Tapscott and Elijah and James Hanes of your ancestral line.

A search of the Revolutionary War records has been made and no record found of claims for pension or bounty land on file based upon service of James Tapscott or Elijah Hanes, under any spellings of the surnames. The records of James Haynes and George Tapscott have been found which may be of interest to you.

The data given herein regarding those soldiers are found in the papers on file in pension claims, based upon their service in the Revolutionary War.

JAMES HAYNES-W. 2938
James Haynes was born January 4, 1754, in Caroline County, Virginia, and when four or five years of age, moved from there with his father to Culpeper County, Virginia; the names of his parents are not shown.

While a resident of Culpeper County, Virginia, James Haynes volunteered in 1775, served in Captain Abraham Buford's company, under Colonel Woodford in the Virginia troops, was in the battle of Hampton against Dunmore whose ships were then in Hampton Roads, was in the battle of "Long Bridge", in Norfolk when it was burned by Lord Dunmore, sometime after which he was stationed at "Old James Town" under command of Captain Clanahan, and was discharged at the expiration of service of one year.

to Pennsylvania, was stationed a part of the time at Rising Sun, and continued until after the battle of Germantown, then returned to Culpeper County, Virginia, where he was discharged sometime in December.
James Haynes volunteered next about April 1, 1780, in a company forming in Harrison County, Virginia, where his brother was then living, who volunteered also, in General McIntosh's Campaign against the Indians on the frontier, served in Captain Cravens' Virginia company, was detailed with his brother, Joseph Haynes, to go as a special spy under Lieutenant Michael Trout of said company, served several months of arduous duty, returned to Harrison Court House and was discharged, length of service about seven months. In the fall of 1781, the soldier moved from Culpeper County, Virginia, to Kentucky: there, sometime after Christmas, he volunteered as sergeant in Captain Robert Barnet's company under Colonel John Loga, went from Carpenter's Station, where he lived then, assisted in building forts at Louisville and remained in service until about May 1782.

After his last service, the soldier returned to Culpeper County, Virginia, settled in that part which was later Madison County, and remained until 1809 or 1810, when he moved to Dick's River, Lincoln County, Kentucky, and resided until 1817, then moved to Adair County, Which was later Russell County, Kentucky.

James Haynes applied for pension August 14, 1932, at which time he resided in Russell County, Kentucky; he was referred then as James Haynes, Senior. His claim was allowed. He died August 13, 1833.

James Haynes married in Culpeper County, Virginia, July 13, 1785 or 1786, Sarah Jackson.

Sarah, or Sally Haynes, the soldier's widow, was allowed pension on her application executed March 22, 1839, at which time she resided in Russell County, Kentucky; she was then aged seventy-four years.

GEORGE TAPSCOTT-R. 18351.

The data which follow are on file under claim. R. 18351, made under the Act of July 5, 1822, on account of service in the Revolutionary War of George Tapscott. This Act provided half pay to officers of the Virginia Line, or their representatives, whose claim had not been adjusted by the State of Virginia.

As partial evidence in support of this claim, there were submitted copies of transactions of the Court of Buckingham County, Virginia, which showed that letters of Administration were granted William Tapscott and Raleigh Tapscott, July 13, 1812, on the unadministered estate of George Tapscott, deceased, and that the will of said George Tapscott was admitted to record in that court prior to that date; also, that the County Court of Buckingham County, Virginia, certified November 9, 1847, at a Court held on that date, that satisfactory evidence was presented to show that the following were then the only children and heirs of said George Tapscott, deceased, -William Tapscott, the Administrator, Nancy W. Tapscott who intermarried with Robert Evans, Sarah S. Tapscott who intermarried with Isaac Barber, James Tapscott, George Tapscott, Raleigh Tapscott, Elizabeth Tapscott who intermarried with John N. Blankenship.

No evidence, whatever, was submitted in regard to the Revolutionary service of George Tapscott as an officer or in any other capacity. Because of this fact, the claim was never admitted.

There are no further data relative to this George Tapscott or his family, no dates of birth or deaths or residences.

Very truly yours,

A. D. HILLER,
Executive Assistant to the Administrator.

The Pension Bureau
Washington, D.C.

Gentlemen,
Will you kindly tell me if you have any pension applications on file of anyone named Hains, Haynes, Hanes, living in Kentucky or Indiana? The soldier would probably have been from Virginia.

We do not know the name, but it may have been James, Thomas, Christopher, or some other. He had a son James b. in Kentucky about 1800- but we have no idea of the soldier's name James removed to Indiana later.
The Indiana James had:
Samuel Jackson Hanes
William Anson
Charles
John
Newton
The Virginia First Census has several of the names along them James, Thomas and Christopher. Should you not have these surnames, but do have any applications of this name, especially if family records are given, I shall greatly appreciate any information you can give me.
Very truly yours,
[Signed] Katharine K. Adams

EXPLANATORY NOTES.
QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades: For ---------year ----------
months and ---------- days, I served as a ------. For ----------- months and --------- days, I served as a ----------; and for such service I claim a pension."
Page 40

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which the applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months to indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable.
QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which be belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticated the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the end of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.

The Fourth trip on page 9 in his original declaration he says as to the facts they are correctly states and he is now enable to state that he served full four months in that tour making in the whole a service of two years four months and twenty days all of which service he performed in the malitia of the United States in the war of the Revolution under the officers named in his original declaration and that each tour was performed with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority that he was for the several periods of service always in the field or garrison and for the times during which the several
