that objection
as you will observe by Hon H?? L

you will please to send the

on Adam Millers claim.   his claim
was sent back, last winter, to amend
the time, has some of which had not been
specifically stated. That was the only
objection to the admission of the claim.
The declaration was amended & sent back
immediately. I hope that claim has
passed.  you will please send me that
certificate. 
I am your ?? & c

The soldier married in 1816, Lucretia, her maden[maiden] name not given. They were married in Roane County, Tennessee.

This is the history of the only soldier named John McNatt, under any spelling of the name, who served in the South Carolina Troops, that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.
The War of 1812 records fail to show that a claim for pension was ever made on account of the services of Leven McNatt.
For information relative to eligibility to membership in the Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, it is suggested that you apply to the Registrar General, D.A.R. Memorial Continental Hall, this city.
Your letter which also contained request for information relative to Civil War pension[pen markings] has been referred to the proper division for reply.

Very truly yours,
EARL D. CHURCH
Commissioner.
