On May 4, 1940, I wrote to the National Archives for information concerning the war record of Oliver Brown, a captain of Artillery in the Revolutionary War. They reply that they have referred my request to your office, I wish to receive that information and may I add this further request:  Any and all information you have about Azariah or Asa Whittington, who served under Andrew Jackson at New Orleans enlisting form Georgia, or Tenn.  I think I am not sure about the place of enlistment, but I am sure about the other information.
Oliver Brown was my great, great, grandfather Asa or Azariah Whittington, my great grandfather, I am compiling a family genealogy I have an official record of my father Ambrose Whittington's Civil War Record, I wish to complete the record
Page 22

of loyal veterans.  I also hope to learn, by this means, the name of my grandfather Whittington which strangely enough I do not have.
A brother of my great, great, grandfather Oliver Brown, was a member of the "Boston Tea Party", which dumped the tea into the Bay.
Can you tell me how to go about finding facts concerning that?

I will greatly appreciate the above information.

I am very anxious to have his authentic war record, also any other biographical data you may have: parentage, education activities. Tradition in the family is that a brother of this Oliver Brown was one of the "Indians" who dumped the tea in the Bay at the famous "Boston Tea Party", could you verify that or give me details?
 I will be very grateful for any information you can give me.

My Dear George,

There is an old gentleman living in Brooke County Va. named Oliver Brown who is a Pensioner. He draws his Pension as a Captain in the Massachusetts line ( I believe) he is a very respectable old gentleman now 93 or 94 years old, and has been very often written to by agents from Washington City and informed that there is now due him a large balance from the Pension Office - 
He has never replied to these applications, but prefers as a  personal favor to me to employ my services in obtaining his dues - For this purpose he has sent me the enclosed authority to investigate  the subject for him.  It is not very full, but
Page 35

sufficient to show an authority in me to make enquiries.

Now I am not entirely certain as to how, or in what manner his claims arise under the recent decisions by which additional pay has been allowed officers, and as the most certain and expeditious way of coming  at this information, I have determined to ask the favor of you to give me the necessary information, if it is proper for me to ask it, and you to give it, and of which I presume there is no doubt.
What I want is to have his Pension papers examined and to be informed what additional sum is due him, and to be sent the necessary forms and information as to the mode of procuring it for him.
May I ask the favor of you to give me as speedy an answer as
Page 36

you can to this, and which will be another among the many acts of kindness, I have received at your  hands.
I send this by my son-in-law the Rev. William M. Lain who appears to be going on, and who can tell you of me and mine.

Most truly,

Your friend etc.
