Dear Madam: 
The Revolutionary War record of John Miller which follows was obtained from papers on file in pension claim, S. 16974, based upon his service in that war. 
The date and place of birth of John Miller are not shown, nor are the names of his parents given.  
John Miller enlisted near Pittsburgh some time in August, 1776 under Captain Montgomery, served as a private in Captains Swearingen's and Finley's companies in Colonel Mackey's and Brodhead's 8th Pennsylvania Regiment; he was in many battles and at the taking of Burgoyne; he served one year in Colonel Morgan's Rifle Regiment. Length of entire service three years. 
He was allowed pension on his application executed September 15, 1818, at which time he was a resident of Fleming County, Kentucky. He moved on September 25, 1834 to Rush County, Indiana to live with his son, whose name was not designated. 
William Miller testified in 1818 in Fleming County, Kentucky, and Alexander Miller testified in 1835 in Rush County, Indiana; neither of them claimed

Dear Sir:- 
I would like the Revolutionary War record of John Miller  born 1752.   
Miller placed on the pension roll in 1818 of Flemington County Kentucky, for services as Private in the Pennsylvania troops.  
He was born in Pennsylvania died in Filmore Indiana. 
Would like anything you may have concerning him or his family life as I am searching for my ancestor John Miller who has about the above record and age, who had a daughter Ann or Nancy who married about 1821 a man by name of Richard Spicknall - They went to Dearborn County Indiana to live. I am wanting this information as I desire to complete my

Either John Miller or his wife were  an 1st Cousin of Col Richard M Johnson of Kentucky.  Ann Miller was his Second Cousin.  
I think John Miller married in either the Lietutenants Suggett or  Robert Johnsons family there above were Col Richard Johnson’s parents

I advise you that the Revolutionary War records and died in 1829. of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to a William Pollard who served with the Virginia Troops and died in 1829.
The War of 1812 records of this bureau fail to afford any data in regard to pension having been claimed on account of the services of any William Pollard, Littleton Victor and Alvin West, or to a Peter Stice of Pennsylvania.

In order to make search of the records for soldiers named John Miller and John Colson some of the following data relative to each is essential - approximate dates of birth and death and places of residence at enlistment and after service. 
Due to the large number of inquiries similar to yours and the lack of a clerical force available for the purpose, it is the practice of the bureau to send only two histories to each inquirer.

John Miller came from Carlisle Pa into Kentucky & settled on a large tract of land.   He was born about 1752, died one date says 1815, another 1827.  His wife’s name was Ann McClintock.  He came to Kentrucky about 1775.  He surely received Bounty land for services in an
Page 36

early war – could you tell me about that?  Of course it his death occured in 1815, he could have served in the War of 1812. His wife came from Cumberland Co. Pa.
I cannot give the information requested concerning John Colson.
If I am entitled to any other information, may I ask if John Halloway (b. 1750 - d 1823) of Virginia or his wife Elizabeth Bettie Hudson of received land or a pension for services in the War of 1812.  none
