I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary

George Roebuck, and Samuel Otterson, and Colonels Thomas Brandon ;

I have to advise you that on November 5, 1925, you were furnished
the full history of POTTER INLOW, W.11912, who was a soldier of the
Revolution, and owing to lack of clerical force available for the
purpose it is not the practice of this bureau to send the same history
more than once to the same inquirer.
The Potter Inlow whose history was furnished you on the above
mentioned date is the only soldier by that name (searched under all

Sir;
In reply to yours of 25th ult, you are informed that
no pension has been allowed to Potter Enlow, a revolutionary
Soldier, or to his widow Nancy, nor does it appear that an
application was filed on behalf of either.

In your reply to your enquiries of 16th inst relative to the pension granted to Nancy
Inglars widow of Potter, you are informed  that the same was allowed under section of  the act
of Feb 3 1853 and could not commence prior to the date of said act nor continue
after her remarriage or the date of her decease as children or other descendants, are not
entitled after the death of a Revy Soldier or his widow, to the reversion of this pension
which either may need in their lifetime. 
After the close of the late war the name of  the widow was restored to the  roll at the same rate which she had
received prior to 1861, but as she died in 1863 prior to the passage of the 
Act of July 27 1868 which could have authorized if she had survived the passage of the act an increase to 18 per 
month, she was not entitled to add the amount due on the
restoration
of the pension, would be payable, she being dead, to her children
The fee which was paid the attorney who prosecuted the claim originally or
for his agency 
in obtaining her to be incribed on the roll after the late war, their office
office has no information respected or no law exerted at either period
regulating such compensation
Your attention is invited to the enclosed printed coverlet referring
to the law prohibiting this office from considering a claim presented
after the death of a Revy Soldier or his widow

In reply to your communication of the 18th ret relative
to Pension yet due to Nancy widow of Potter Inlow a
Revy soldier
I have to State that a certificate of Pension for 50.05
issued to her in 1858 coming at a date that was
prescribed by the law & she was regularly paid
to March 4, 1861 -  Af the war of 1861 had
terminated she applied for restoration & another
certificate was issued in 1867 at the same rate
cond; March 4 1861 From the record
& files of correspondence with several parties it appears that some heirs suppose there is yet
some pension due
anterior to Feby 3 1853 but there is not but if 
no payment has been made from date of the
last payment to the date of her death it
can only be paid in accordance with the 
provision of Sect 4718 on the back of the

April 16th 1883

Wm. W. Dudley: Commissioner
Washington D.C.
Dear Sir
I will be obliged if
you will investigate the following
matter and write me the result
of your research.
One Potter Inlow was a soldier
of the Revolutionary War serving
more than 14 days - He married
in 1815 or 1816. Died in 1833, and
left surviving him his widow
Nancy Inlow and his daughter
Elizabeth Kimbel - His widow
died in 1863
If I have been
correctly informed by an Ex-congressman:
if the claim was established, the Pension of $8.00 a month commenced receiving
the 4th of March 1848-

1st.  Is this correct?
2nd. How long did it continue to run?
3rd. After the death of the widow in
1863, has it continued to run in
favor of the daughter?
There is no doubt that the claim
was established: I think in 1854.
For the widow received in 1856
$100.00 ($50.00 for 1854 and 1855 each),
and every year thereafter till 1861
she received $50.00.  After her death
in 1863, her daughter recd $100.00
for the 2 years 1861 and 1862
which the widow had not collected.
By refering [referring] to the Record, I think
you will find that the claim was
established and money paid on it to her.
4th.  If it was established should it
not have commenced running in
1848 and not in 1853?
Page 31

5th.  And should it not have continued
after 1863 till now?

6th.  Also was the not entitled to $96.
a year instead of $50.00?

7th.  Also please inform me what
amounts the Record shows to have
been paid her:  the person or persons
who collected them: and their authority
for so doing.

8th. What commissions or fees the atty.
or agent, if any there were, was
entitled to retain?

I have numbered the questions, in
order that you may be able to save some
trouble and time, by simply refering [referring]
your answer to the numbers.

Sir,

I herewith beg to

desire to say that your examination certainly
must not have been thorough, as the proof
is abundant that, a large sum of money
has, from time to time, been paid to Mrs.
Nancy Enlow Widow of Potter Enlow a Revolutionary
Soldier, and since her death to her daughter
Elizabeth Kimbrell of this place, but not since
about the year 1865 or 66,  The claim was established
through Hon. A S. Wallace ex-member of Congress
from this State some time between the years 1853
and 1856.  The first payment being made to Nancy
Enlow during the year 1856.  Hon. Wallace collected
the money, and I desire to know the amount
collected by him and the dates of the [illegible].
I trust you will make diligent search & write me.
I am Very Respectfully your Obedt Servt. Thompson H. Cook

Tell Senator Butler that all
the earlier payments in this

examine the records, and see if Potter
Enlow ever made application for Pension
for services in the Revolutionary
War, or whether any other person ever made
application for the name of the said Potter
Enlow for Pension in said war.

He was enlisted in the Virginia troops.

My mother Nancy Enlow the wife of
Potter Enlow drew the pension of her husband
Potter Enlow from 1856 to 1861,
but when the war came on, she failed to
draw the pension for 1862 and 1863, and
my mother the said Nancy Enlow died in
1863, and I drew, after the late war, the
Pension for the last two years mentioned
namely 1862 and 1863.

I think my father is entitled to pension
prior to 1856, which was the first
moneys drawn on said pension.  I do
not think that any pension whatever was
drawn from 1833 (at which time my father died)
to 1856, the time my mother commenced to
draw the pension.  I think also that my father
the said Potter Enlow was entitled to pension
from the time he was discharged from
the said war until his death in 1833.

Please examine the records and
write to me as soon as possible and
give me all the information you can
on the matters which I have indicated.

I am the only daughter (daughter was crossed out) child
of the said Potter Enlow, living, I
am in delicate health, and want to
hear from you as soon as possible
Very respectfully

to sustain the claim of Nancy Inloe

There is but one Potter Inloe
on the South Carolina records that service
we claim, our man Potter Inloe made
a declaration 1833, setting forth, and proving
his service which papers are lost and
their contents I think never found by
the evidence of Dr. Woodruff.
His reputation is sustained 
by all the other witnesses, the proof of the

herewith inclose several affidavits to
sustain her applications for a pension
and also for Bounty land. You
will pleas take such order on those
Papers as will make these available
in both claims, & would here add
that I have been engaged for many
years in prosecuting claims, and in
the course of a long and successful
practice, I have never encountered
more deficiency than in this claim
for reasons that are unknown to
me, and would astonish any
[illegible] man who would take time
Page 64

to all the papers in the 
claim. The fact that I have proven
the loss of his application under act
of 8th June 1832 has been overlooked
all together, although I have shown
that his services were proved by Maj
Joseph McJunkin and Capt
Gorge Roebuck and others, but
Independent of that I have shewn
by traditionary testimony that Potter
Inloe was the Identical person for
whom Nancy Inlow his widow
now claims who done the service
to the credit of that name and that
there is but one Potter Inlow
on the records of this state, and 
proof now by comrades in service
is out of the question and the
officers to wit Maj McJunkin
were his companions in service
under whom he served
I do hope this claim will
no longer be delayed but that Mrs.
Inloe may now have her rights
I would respectfully call
your attention to the fact that the
claim is for calvary service

You will please examine and report to me as soon as convenient.
I would remark that there is no person now living by whom the service can be proved. from personal knowledge.
There is but one man on the Roll of S.C. by the name of Potter Inlow and the widow of the said Potter has obtained

160 acres bounty land act of 2 March 1855 it would seem from the amount of testimony thrown on this claim it ought long since to have been paid as I have not found any of his handwriting that I can prove with definite certainty and the proof of ferece is the best, and only kind, that can be found. Other's proof of a similar character can be made.
You will please examine and report as soon as convenient
