Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the record of Saybert Odum, or Odom, who received a pension while  living in Chatham County, Georgia.

In the report of the Secretary of War, in regard to the pension establishment, which was printed in 1835, the name Seybert Odum is borne on a list of pensioners in Chatham County, Georgia. That report shows that he received a pension of $21.42 per annum, which commenced March 1, 1801, was continued at the rate of $60.00 per annum from October 27, 1810, under the Act of March 3, 1811, and under the Act of April 24, 1816, his pension was automatically increased to $96.00 per annum.

The papers in his application for pension were destroyed by fire when the War Office was burned as shown by the report cited above, which gives no description of his service.

This office has no further in formation in regard to that soldier. The pension was granted for disability incurred in line of duty of which no record is available in this office for the reason given above.

Very truly yours

A. D. HILLER
Executive Assistant
