Honorable Paul Brown
Member of Congress
Elberton, Georgia

My dear Mr. Brown:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Isaac Hawes who was born about 1715 in Carolina or Essex County, Virginia, and died in the latter county in 1780, his son, Isaac Hawes, II, who moved to Georgia and died in Lincoln county, that state, in 1823, also information in regard to Samuel Hawes, I, who married Ann Spencer about 1712; Samuel Hawes, II, who married Ann We[illegible], both soldiers of Caroline County, Virginia, and Samuel Hawes, III, who was aged twenty-one years when the revolutionary War began. You state that one Samuel Hawes served as Lieutenant Colonel in the Revolutionary War. 
The Revolutionary War records of this office have been searched and no claim for pension or bounty land found based upon service of an Isaac Hawes, under any spelling of the name. You are furnished below the record of the only Samuel Hawes of Virginia found in those records. 
The Revolutionary War records of this office show that warrant #1066, for four hundred fifty acres of bounty land, was issued July 5, 1799, on account of the services of Samuel Hawes, Lieutenant Colonel in the Virginia Line, War of the revolution. The warrant was issued to his only surviving heirs, namely: Elizabeth Buckner, late Hawes; Mary Buckner, late Hawes; Charlotte Buckner, late Hawes; Elliot Hawes’ Richard Hawes, and Walker Hawes. 

There are no further data on file relative to the officer, Samuel Hawes, or to his family, because of the destruction of papers in the claim when the War Office was burned in 1800. 
It does not appear that pension was claimed on account of the services of said Samuel Hawes. 
Very truly yours
A.D. Hiller

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letters in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Christopher Addison. Stephen Bailey who served in the North Carolina troops and lived later in Georgia, a soldier with surname Bennett, of Virginia, Samuel Hawes, who received land at Dayton, Ohio, William Hawes, John Hendricks of Georgia, Jesse, [illegible] and Elias Hendricks, variously spelled, Stephen Hutchinson, William, Stephen, George, Shadrack, Awbrey (Aubrey), Phillip, James, Andrew, Benjamin, Samuel, Pierce and Jesse Noland, James having received a pension in Georgia, in 1840, and Jesse, a pensioner in Kentucky, Joseph T[illegible] and Thomas Vining. 

There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon services in the Revolutionary War of a Christopher Addison, or of a Jesse, a S[illegible] or an Elias Hendricks, nor of a William Hawes, nor of a Stephen, a George or Awbrey, Phillip, Andrew, Benjamins, Samuel or Pierce Noland, nor of Joseph Te[illegible], nor Thomas Vining. A proper search of the records could not be made for that of any particular Bennett without his full name. No record could be identified as that of the Stephen Hutchinson in whom you are interested. No pension claims have been found based upon services in the Revolutionary War of a Stephen Bailey, James Nolan or John Hendricks of Georgia. Some of your citations pertain to state records, not to United States records.
The Revolutionary War records have been found of a Samuel Hawes of Virginia [name under lined, and handwritten in margin: Wt. 1066-450], who received land, of Jesse Noland of Kentucky, the pensioner, of one Shadrach Nolan, only, and of one William Nolan (Noland) only. Those records are furnished you herewith. All spellings of the surname have been searched. 
Very truly yours

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for the revolutionary War records of Samuel Hawes of Virginia and Haw or Rawes from Hanover County, Virginia. 
The Revolutionary War records of this office show that Warrant #1066 for four hundred fifty acres of bounty land was issued July 5, 1799, on account of the services of Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Hawes of the Virginia [“Continental” crossed out] Line. The warrant was issued to his only surviving heirs, namely: Elizabeth Buckner, late Hawes: Mary Buckner, late Hawes; Charlotte  Buckner, late Hawes; Elliot Hawes, Richard Hawes, and Walker Hawes. 
There are no further data on file relative to the soldier or to his family, because of the destruction of papers in the claim when the War Office was burned in 1800. 
It does not appear that pension was claimed on account of the services of said Samuel Hawes. 
The above noted is the history of the only soldier from Virginia by the name of Samuel Hawes (Searched under all spellings) that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office. 
In order to make a search of the Revolutionary War records of this office for other soldiers surnamed Haw or Rawes, the first name is essential and you should furnish as much as possible of the following data: approximate date of birth and death, place of residence at enlistment and after service and first name of widow. 

Very truly yours,

Hon. Frank T. Hines, 
Administrator,
Veterans Administration,
Washington, D.C.

My dear General Hines:
The Adjutant General has suggested that probably the Veterans Administration may have some record of service or of a pension of Samuel Hawes, I, of Caroline County, Virginia who married Ann Spencer about 1712; Samuel Hawes, II, Caroline County, who married Ann Walker, probably born about 1728, and Samuel Hawes, III, who was about 21 years old when the Revolutionary War began.
One Samuel Hawes served as Lieutenant Colonel in the Revolutionary War. He was listed as Samuel Hawes, Sr., but it is thought he was Samuel Hawes, II.
I would also like any information concerning Isaac Hawes, I who was born about 1713 in Caroline or Essex County, Virginia, and died in Essex County in 1789; and his son, Isaac Hawes. II, who moved to Georgia and died in Lincoln County, Georgia, in 1823. 

Sincerely yours,
