Sir,
Mr. Barnett, the Secretary of State for the State of Georgia, handed over to this Department a letter of yours, making inquiry as to the evidence of Lieut. John Fraser’s service during the Revolution and asking of me to make the search and reply to your letter.  I have just finished the search after the evidence required and I find first, a certificate from the late John Halenham.  Maybe in the Continental Line, that Lieut. John Fraser served as in that capacity from January 1777 to July 1782.  Also the application to the State of John Fraser for Bounty Land, with the endorsement therein “granted,” be what shape you desire this evidence and whether it will be necessary to further
Page 25

search for the grant issued by the State as a Bounty - A. [Illegible] John Fraser [illegible] left to your direction. In the latter case, [illegible] is, A. [illegible] the Land Office of this State for his grant or grants to Bounty Land, will occupy much time & entail more expense upon you. Without this last [illegible] & to prepare the papers as you direct, without the Great Seal of the State, the charge for my service will be $10. With the Great Seal, an additional $2.75 will be charged as I shall have to pay that amount out to the State Treasury. And with [illegible] copy of the [illegible] & the search therefor, an additional charge of $5 will be made. I think that the Executive Seal - that is, the seal of this Department - will be sufficient; - for the Seal, there is no fee (except 25 cents) to be paid.

I have stated be deemed useful to you. & you desire the papers made out  - please give directions, & enclose the fees, as above referred to. Immediate attention shall be paid to your requests.

Sir, 

The papers of Lenah M?ddaugh
have been examined and filed. The proof
of Lieut. John Frazer's service is satisfactory, but she should show that the same
Lieut. Frazer was her husband, and also 
that she was married to him before 1796.
The testimony of Edward West as to the
time of the marriage is not sufficient,
as he gives no reason why he remembers the marriage was in 1793, nor has he
stated by what means he has been
enabled to fix upon a time period so remote
as 1793. A man who does not make memoranda of such events is not likely to remember dates. She should obtain record proof, if she can, or other testimony more satisfactory than that of West.
                         I have the honor to be
                          Your ? Servant

Gentlemen:-

I am informed that a widow of a revolutionary soldier named Middaugh drew a pension on account of her husband's service up to the date of her death about 1865. She was ninety-eight years of age when she died and resided at Elmira, N.Y. Will you kindly tell me if you have any record of this and if so, the name and service of the soldier?

Yours very truly, 
[Firstname] B. Beals
