Mrs. J. D. Loudermilk, La Grange, Missouri.

Dear Madam:

I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 10079, it appears that Wade Hampton of South Carolina was, in the early part of the Revolution, appointed Paymaster of the Sixth South Carolina Regiment and served as such until after the fall of Charleston, May 1780.

He was commissioned November 30, 1780, Lieutenant Colonel of a Regiment of South Carolina Dragoons; he was also Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel in General Sumter’s Brigade, and was in the battles of Hanging Rock, Rocky Mount, Fish Dam Ford, Blackstocks, Juniper Springs and Eutaw Springs and served until his regiment was disbanded, April 12, 1782.

He was commissioned February 15, 1809, Brigadier General in the United States Army and served all through the War of 1812.

He died February 4, 1835 in Richland District, South Carolina.

General Wade Hampton married at St. Mathews [sic], Orangeburg District, South Carolina, July 4, 1801, Mary Cantey. She was allowed pension on her application executed September 13, 1852, at which time she was temporarily a resident of Paris, France, and aged seventy-seven years.

In 1859 her son-in-law, Colonel John S. Preston, was in Europe; the name of his wife is not stated. [added by hand] 1858 one Alfred Hampton Preston was in Paris France [added by hand]

The above noted soldier is the only Wade Hampton found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.

Very truly yours,

Hon Geo. C. Whiting
Comm of Pensions

Dear Sir,

I am gratified to receive yours of the [illegible] inst in relation to the claim of Mrs. Hampton widow of Col Wade Hampton and regret that in Mrs Hampton’s absence the family here are not able to furnish any additional Revolutionary Army papers, as you desired, of her late Distinguished husband. I have his Commission on parchment as Brigadier General U.S. Army & dated 9th May 1809 signed by President Madison & registered in the War Office. This will answer for Mrs. H’s Bounty Land application. I regret that the accounts of Books C 636 & M 253 cannot be found, for the former would have shown the exact period of the service he rendered in the Continental Line. I do not believe that there ever were any accounts for these Books of [illegible] as those in Book C were issued by the Comm of the Treasury upon “certificates of the Auditor General” & those in M on the Regimental & Company Rolls which give the length of service each person performed in the “State Troops” Sumter’s Brigade raided after the fall of Charleston in May 1780, when the six S.C. Cont.
Page 17

Regts had become so thinned out as to cause the consolidation of some of the Regts & to make many of the Cont’l Officers either supernumerary (see Resolution of Cong 21 Oct 1780 “Revolutionary Claim,” page 12) or take as in the case of Marion, Sumter, Henderson, Hampton & other commands in the State Brigades, Troops, or Militia. I have no doubt from the traditionary & known reputation of Col. Wade Hampton that he served nearly the whole of the war, certainly from the formation of the S.C. Cont’l Regts to 72 April 1782, for his devotion to the cause & his ability as an officer were ever known & appreciated in SC the scene of his renowned career. It was a knowledge of his merits that promoted him to a Brigadiership in the War of 1812. But to come to the figures before us I will state it thus, If 229[illegible] M 253 gives 16 months 12 days or 508 days, what will 466 [illegible] C 636 give? 
Answer 719 days or 23 mos & 6 days
Add 		       16   “     “  12 “
		                39   “      “ 18  “
The one is “Pay & bounty” & the other “Pay & Subsistence” to “Col’l Wade Hampton” & not to “Paymaster” Wade Hampton in Cont’l Service (for which service the U.S. records ought to show how much he was paid). I am sure you may safely accord him more than two years service above the grade of Captain, viz, as “Paymaster,” “Colo’l” & “Lieut Col” of cavalry, and that is sufficient for the present purpose. Col. Hampton proposed & raise [sic] another Regiment to serve for 3 years or the war, knowing that the term for which Sumter’s Brigade in which he was then Lt.Col would expire in April after his letter in January
Page 18

1782. This was in accordance with the zeal which characterized his whole military life. I enclose Comptroller’s certification on some points raised in your letter. I am well satisfied a careful examination of this case will induce you & allow for two years full service.

Dear Madam:

It appears from the records of this office that Warrant Number 92 for five hundred acres of bounty land was issued March 14, 1796 on account of the services of John Brooks, lieutenant colonel commandant, War of the Revolution.

There are no further data on file as to his services and no data whatever as to his family or his age, due to the destruction of papers in such bounty land claim when the War Office was burned in November, 1800.

In reply to your letter of the twenty-fifth instant and the enclosed two letters of Mrs. E. M.

I desire to get some information as follows, to witt[sic]:

WADE HAMPTON born in South Carolina in 1764; died Feb. 2, 1835 in Columbia, S.C., served under Sumptor [sic] and Marion in the Revolutionary War. Rumor has it that he was an officer, graded all the way from Col. to General.

Question 1: Did he serve as above mentioned?
	2: Did he have rank, and if so whet [sic] was his highest grade?
	3: Was Col. Wade Hampton (presumably another generation) a son of the Rev. Patriot, or a patriot himself? This last Wade Hampton married Ann Fitzsimmons.

I would thank you for any information which you may be able to furnish concerning the Revolutionary Activities of Wade Hampton the Revolutionary Patriot.
