Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to John Haley, a soldier of the Revolutionary War.

It appears from the records of this office that John Haley enlisted in October, 1777, served as   a Corporal in Captain Smith's Company, Third Maryland Regiment, and was at the storming of Stony Point where he was wounded in the right arm and left thigh by musket balls; length of service, three years.

He was allowed pension from September 4, 1784, on account of disability resulting from the above noted wounds, at which time he was residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was still residing there in 1819.

He died July 22, 1823. His age is not given nor are the places of his death and burial shown.

There are no data as to his family.

The above is the history of the only soldier named John Haley, or similar spelling, that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this office.

Very truly yours

Dear Sir:-

I have been engaged for some time in tracing the ancestry of the Haley family and in the rooms of the Pennsylvania Historical Society in Philadelphia I came across a volume called "Pennsylvania in the Revolution" in which was given a list of "Pennsylvania pensioners taken from the Pension Books of the Unite States, commencing on the 4th of March 1789." This letter was certified to in a letter dated August 31st, 1812 by the Comptroller and there appeared in this list the name:-

JOHN HALEY, CORPORAL
DATE STAMP Apr 13, 1901

Therefore if it is not asking too much I shall be glad if you will kindly advise me if you have in your possession records showing his service, his residence, and date when pension ceased, and if so, I would greatly appreciate the favor if you would give me the information; or if to look it up would consume too much valuable time, if you would put me on the track to get this information, I would be greatly obliged.

Thanking you in anticipation of a favorable reply, I am

Yours Truly,

Very respectfully
Your most Obedient Servant
