Mrs. E. F. Nash,
College Park, Ga.

Madam:
In response to your letter dated the 4th and received the 9th instant, you are advised that from the papers in the claim. Sur. File No. 6,049, Rev. War, it appears that Samuel Sams was allowed pension on an application executed August 22, 1832, while seventy-four years old, and a resident of Monroe County, Virginia. He stated that while a resident of Augusta County, Virginia, he enlisted in the latter part of 1780, under Captain James Tate and served six months, during which he was in the battle of Cowpens; that he again entered the service in June, 1781, served three months under Captains John Campbell and John Dickey, Colonels Cameron, Huggart and William Dickey, was in the battle of Jamestown and siege of York, and was discharged at Winchester. In 1782, he served three months under John McCarny, militia, in a campaign against the Indiana. There is no data relative to family.
There is no application for bounty land in this Bureau.
The records of the Bureau show that warrant No. 1,238 for 200 acres of land was issued April 16, 1827, on account of the services of William Hazzard who served in the Revolution as a Lieutenant, South Carolina troops, until the end of the war.

The date and place of soldier's death are not stated, but in 1819, his widow Sarah, was referred to, and the following surviving children: Sarah C. Montgomery, Mary E., William Whig, Thomas Fuller and Richard Edward.
The records of this Bureau fail to show that any claim for pension was over filed on account of the Revolutionary War services of the above noted William Hazzard.
Very respectfully,
J L Davenport
Commissioner
