Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to your great grandfather, James Tucker who fought in the Revolutionary War and later lived in Trumbull County, Ohio.
The data furnished herein were obtained from pension claim, S. 40597, based upon the service of James Tucker in the Revolutionary War.
James Tucker was born June 15, 1761 in the state of Maryland. The names of his parents were not given.
James Tucker enlisted at the "West Fork of the Monongahela River in the State of Virginia", December 25, 1776, served as a private in Captain David Scott's company in Colonels Russell's and John Gibson's 13th Virginia regiment; he was discharged in 1783 at Wheeling, Virginia.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 25, 1818, at which time he was a resident of Milton, Trumbull County, Ohio.
Reference was made in 1823 to his wife aged about sixty years, and to two orphan grandchildren, (girls), aged about ten and eleven years; names of wife and grandchildren not given, nor are the names of children designated. These orphan grandchildren were
Page 11

living with the soldier, James Tucker, in 1823.
David McKinsey Tucker was referred to in 1823; it is not shown that he was related to the soldier.
In order to obtain the date of the last payment of pension, name and address of person paid, and possibly the date of death of this pensioner, you should apply to the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, Washington, D. C., and give the following:

War Department, Pension Office, Washington, D.C.
Gentlemen: My great-grandfather, James Tucker, fought in the Revolution. I have a pension document of his covering Revolutionary claim of March 18, 1818: it bears number 9560 and is dated Mary 10, 1821. I am also of the opinion that in addition to cash pension he received a land grant in Trumbull County, Ohio.
I am very much interested in learning as much as possible of his history, and with the above information wonder if you can tell me in what company or regiment he was enlisted, where he originated from, and any other data you may have on record.
If you cannot furnish this information, perhaps you can suggest another source that I might try.
I shall certainly appreciate anything you can do for me in this respect, and thank you in advance for your courtesy.
Yours very truly, MJ Tucker

Sir, Enclosed are the Documents
marked A. B. C. + D. which were among the papers by 
me transmitted to the War Department in support of the claim
of [underline] James Tucker  a revolutionary soldier to a restoration to
to the pension list on the day of June 1823 and returned to
me from the Department under date of July 26. 1823 requiring 
those documents to be authentication by proper certificates before
they could be admitted as evidence on behalf of the claimant.
I again transmit them with the Certificates legally and officially
made on them separately-
I als enclose other Documentary evidence marked
E. F. G. H. and I'm who manner authenticated as additional
evidence to confirm the truth of the statements made in the
claimants application. The [underline] Documents H. and I. show
a further loss of property which affirms the value very [crossed out]

The document B. + C. could not be authenticated directly by
the Clerk of the Court as Constables being Township officers
not appointed by the Court nor commiſſed by the Govenor
The course of the delay of forwarding these was awing
in hart to the absence from this State of some of the persons
in these documents named, and in part by the Claimant being
sick and little hope of his recovery until lately. I defered
these proceeding to save trouble to the Department (in case of his death)
and expense to myself -
I am sir
most respectfully
Your obedient
Humble servant
