Dear Sir:
     The data furnished herein were obtained from papers on file in pension claim, R. 11287, based on the military service of James Weir in the War of the Revolution.
     The date and place of birth of James Weir were not given, nor were the names of his parents stated. 
      James Weir resided during the Revolutionary War in Washington County, Virginia. He married, February 19th, 1783 in Augusta County, Virginia, Margret; her maiden name was not designated. She was born December 22, 1763, place not given.
     James Weir died March 11, 1820, place not shown.
     His widow, Margret Weir, applied for pension March 7, 1845, then a resident of Blount County, Tennessee, and alleged that her husband, James Weir enlisted in 1780, served as a private in Captains Robert Edmonson's and William Lowry's companies, Colonel Campbell's Virginia regiment, that he was in the battle of King's Mountain, and continued in the service until after the battle of Guilford Court House. 
     The claim for pension was not allowed, as she [...]
Page 8

[...] failed to furnish proof of six months' service, as required by the pension law.

Washington City D.C. Oct. 21 1852.
I take the liberty of writing for the purpose of calling your attention to a
claim for a Revolutionary Pension, heretofore presented in the name of Margaret Weir
and which on account of objections raised has been rejected or suspended by the Pension
Office. In the course of my business as Government claims agent I have ascertained
the reasons for such rejection or suspension, and believe that with proper attention I can
procure for the claimant or heirs an allowance of the claim. Should you see proper to
place your business in my hand for prosecution I will take pleasure in serving you to the
best of my ability.
Many excellent and meritorious claims have remained for years in the Pension office suspended files owing to some technical objection or trifling link of evidence
which through the aid of a duly authorized agent known and vouched for at the Department
and familiar with the existing objections to the case, might yet be removed or supplied.
The hopes I entertain of success in this claim (should you authorize me to
act for you) and the success that has heretofore attended my efforts in like cases, justifies me in tendering you my services at rates far below others who have lately engaged
in the same business, and who perhaps have addressed you on this subject.
The fee charged by other agents here is, as I am informed, one half or 50 percent which I think is more than should be required. My fee will be one fifth or 20 percent of the
amount recovered. Nothing whatever should I fail to have the claim allowed.
I would state for your information, that no money can be drawn on claims
of this kind by any person except on papers executed for that express purpose by the Pensioner, or his or her legal representatives after the claim has been allowed.
Enclosed you have the necessary power of attorney to enable me to act in the
matter, which if you will execute and return to me will be considered an acceptance of
my offers on receipt of which authority I shall at once proceed in your behalf and keep
you fully advised from time to time of the progress of the case.
For any information you may desire respecting my reliability, or business
qualifications, address the pension office.
Very Respectfully
Your Obt. servt.

and Soldiers of the Virginia Continental Line, during the Revolutionary War,
as settled their Accounts, and received Certificates for the balance of their Full Pay,

issued on the 13th

or at least there was where he lived, he does
not know the exact time of said Weir's entering
the service, or how long he served, but knows
that he was in service a short time before the Battle
of Guilford, and perhaps served more than one

Sir 
I have the honor
to inform you that the papers in
support of the claim of Margaret
Wier have been examined & filed.
It is very imperfectly set forth as to the
service. The claimant believes that
he entered the service about the period
of the expedition to Kings Mountain
Sept 80) and continued in service
untill the battle of Guilford (in
March 81). In this she is mistaken as the militia of Washington under Col Campbell did
not more than [illegible] in the
expedition which was terminated 
by the battle of Kings Mountain.
The militia tour was limited to 3 mo.
If her husband was in service in
that expedition & in a tour to
Guilford only (which is not admitted) the
aggregate of the service would act [...]
Page 27

[...] amount to six months. It is
very apparent from the present
State of the papers that her husband (to whom it is admitted she
was married before Jany 94) did
not render sufficient service to
entitle her to a pension-

Sir,
In response to the [illegible] last paragraph of
the enclosed letter I have the honor state that the accompanying extract [illegible] a like form,
this office to J. E. Toole Esq dated July 9, 1839
will inform you of the then condition of the claim
of Margaret Wier (widow of James of Tennessee)
for pension under act of July 7, 1838. This
claimant's husband did, as [illegible] by her, in
1830. He was never entitled to pension no pension
law, applicable to his case having been passed
anterior to his death.
It remains to be observed that, as it
would seem from the letter of Mr Heartsill that
Mrs. Wier is dead, the claim could not now
be recovered even if the objections heretofore existing
of its admission could be obviated. Children
of revolutionary soldiers &
their widows cannot perfect and recover such
claims

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which
you request information in regard to James and
Joseph Wier or Weir, of Virginia, "presumably
Rockbridge County". You cite one James Weir,
who served in the Revolutionary War as sergeant
in Captain James Calderwood's company in Colonel
Daniel Morgan's 11th Virginia regiment, 1776-1778.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this
office are obtained from claims for pension and
bounty land which have been made to the United States, based on service in that war. A search
of the records fails to show such claims on file
on account of the Revolutionary War service of
any Joseph Wier, or for a James Wier, who served
as cited above. The surname was searched under
similar spellings.
You are furnished herewith the Revolutionary
War record of a James Weir of Washington and
Augusta Counties, Virginia. Should you not be
interested in this record, if you will furnish
as much as possible of the following data relative
to the James Weir, in whom you are particularly
interested, another search of the records will be
made in your behalf and a report sent you-
approximate dates of his birth and death [...]

Gentlemen:
I have been referred to your Department with respect
to some information relative to James and Joseph Wier, (or Weir),
of Virginia, - presumably Rockbridge County.
It is understood that James Weir, (whose surname is also
shown as Wier) served in the Revolutionary War as sergeant in Captain
James Calderwood's Company, 11th Virginia Regiment, (1776 - 1778), commanded by Colonel Daniel Morgan.
I am interested in ascertaining, if possible, the names of
the decendants of the above named parties - 
particularly if there is
any record of either of the foregoing having sons named Joseph and
George, or whatever date the records may reveal in connection with
the original James and Joseph Weir referred to above.
Thanking you for whatever assistance you may be in
this matter, and assuring you an early reply will be most gratefully
appreciated, I am,
Very truly yours,
