In looking over the claim of Thomas and Elizabeth Boggs of York District S. C who were Ascension in 1846. I find they were not allowed for Cavalry service, which almost all the service to the credit of Thomas Boggs in the revolution was, that Character, as shown by the records of S. C. 
The service anterior to 1777, do not shown by the records of that State but have been admitted in many claims in your office, to wit Claim of Frances B. Clinton S. C. of 4th July 1836, in this claim the evidence of service is made by the Commissioned officer McJunkin and Wilson and Both Pensioners of that state under act of 7 June 1832. I wish the certificate in this case made payable to the children
