Dear Sir: Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Jacob Dooly, a pensioner who was living in Madison County, Kentucky, in 1840. 
You are furnished below the record of Jacob Dooley (the spelling of surname under which he signed), as found in pension claim, W. 1837, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War. 
The date and place of soldier's birth and names of his parents are not shown in the claim. 
Jacob Dooley enlisted in 1775 at Vance's Old Field, Virginia, for a year, served as a private in Captain Campbell's Virginia company until discharged.  He also enlisted in 1776 at Portsmouth, Virginia, served as private in Captain Gross Scruggs' company, Colonels Charles Scott's and Josiah Parker's 5" Virginia Regiment, and was discharged in 1778 after having served about three years in all. 
He was allowed pension on his application executed June 19, 1818, at which time he was aged sixty-three years and a resident of Madison County, Kentucky.
He died March 26, 1842, in Madison County, Kentucky, but had formerly lived in Garrard County, Kentucky.

Honorable Otis Wingo, 
House of Representatives. 

My dear Mr. Wingo: 
In reply to your letter of the thirteenth instant, I have the honor to advise you, that a careful search of the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fails to show a claim for pension or bounty land on file for Rachel Dooley. 
The only Revolutionary claim on file on account of the services of any soldier of the name, is that of Jacob Dooley, whose history is herewith furnished you, as the data relative to his unnamed wife may possibly aid you in your research. 
from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, Widow's File No. 1837, it appears that Jacob Dooley enlisted in 1775, for one year, at Vance's Old Field, Virginia and served in Captain Campbell's Company.  He also enlisted at Portsmouth, Virginia, in 1776, served as Private in Captain Gross Scrugg's Company, Colonels Charles Scott and Josiah Parker's Fifth Regiment of the Virginia Line, for three years and was discharged at Valley Forge.
Page 33

He was allowed pension on his application executed June 19, 1818, at which time he was about sixty-three years old and a resident of Madison County, Kentucky.  In 1820 he referred to his wife aged sixty-two years, but did not state her name, nor is there any further data on file relative to her. 
He married in Garrard County, Kentucky, June 7, 1830, Nancy Potts and he died in Madison County, Kentucky, March 26, 1842. His widow Nancy was allowed pension on her application executed February 12, 1853, while residing in Madison County, Kentucky, aged seventy-four years.  She was also allowed bounty land on account of his services. 
It is not stated whether he had any children, nor is ther any further data on file as to his family.
Very truly yours, 

Deputy Commissioner.

Mrs. J. P. Jennings Wilson, 
2201 Hanover Avenue, 
Richmond, Virginia.

Dear Madam: 
I advise you that the Revolutionary War records of this bureau do not show a claim for pension on file on account of a Jacob Dooley of Lincoln County, Kentucky and his name does not appear in the Report of the Secretary of War for 1835, as of Lincoln County, Kentucky. 
The only soldier by that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau applied for pension in Clarke County, Kentucky and in 1821 was living in Madison County, Kentucky. 
The number of pages to be copied in this claim, W. 1837, is fourteenand the cost is fifteen cents a page.
If you desire to have them certified allow twenty-five additional for the set. 
The proper amount should be forwarded to this bureau by money order drawn to the order of the Secretary of the Interior. 
Very truly yours, 
EARL D. CHURCH, 
Commissioner.

My dear Mr. Tieman: I am exceedingly anxious to determine the name of the husband of Rachel Dooley [margin note: none.] and will appreciate it if you will direct a search of the Revolutionary War pensioners to see if she drew a pension, and if so, the name of her husband. There were two Dooley's in the Revolutionary War, James or Jacob, and Thomas or William. James S. Dooley, of Richmond, Virginia, was granted land in Maury County, Tennessee for his services in the Revolutionary War, and I presume he drew a pension, and the records would show the name of his wife. In other words, I am trying to find out the name of the husband of Rachel Dooley, and thought possibly the pension records of the Revolutioary War would give some clew. Thanking you, I am, 
Very truly yours,
Otis Wingo
