Mr. S. L. Warner
Ohio Masonic Home
Springfield, Ohio
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your request for information relative to
Joseph Warner who served in the Revolutionary War under Colonel
Harrod and General Stevens.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the
pension claim, R.11146, based upon the service of the only Joseph Warner
that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
On April 19, 1837, one William Warner made affidavit in Madison
County, Ohio, in support of a claim for pension for Joseph Warner who
was his father and stated that Joseph Warner was in a battle (name not
given) during the Revolution and that "he washed for Colonel Harrod".
It was also stated that Joseph Warner served under "General Stephens."
The claim for pension was not allowed as proof of at least six
months military service (the minimum requirement being six months of
service) was not furnished.
On August 26, 1853, John A. Warner (relation to soldier not given)
resident of London, Madison County, Ohio, was made administrator of the
estate of Joseph Warner who was referred to as late of Madison County,
Ohio, date of death not given.
There are no further data on file relative to soldier's family
and no data relative to his date of birth and places of residence
before and during his service.
Very truly yours

Sir:--
In reply to your inquiry you are advised that Joseph Warner
applied for pension in 1837, which was rejected on the ground that he
claimed only eight weeks’ service in the militia; the minimum requirement 
being six months.
As his application was a verbal one, there is no record in
this Bureau of his enlistment, discharge, or the officers under whom
he served, during the Revolutionary War.
John A. Warner, of London, Madison Co., Ohio, son of the above-named
soldier, filed letters of administration August 26, 1854.
Very respectfully, 
Commissioner.

Madam:
In reply to your letter dated the 7th and received the 16th instant,
you are advised that Joseph Warner of Cincinnati, Ohio but present in
Washington in May 1837, made application for pension R. File 11,146,
which was rejected on the ground that he claimed only eight weeks’ service
in the militia, whereas the law allowing pensions to militia soldiers of
the Revolution did not extend to any one who served less than six months.
As his application was a verbal one, there is no record in this
Bureau of his age, enlistment, discharge or the officers under whom he
served.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.

Dear Sir-

The enclosed letter which I sent to the adjutant Gen. failed to find any record of Joseph Warner's services in the Revolutionary war.

They suggested that I should write to you as the collection of Revolutionary records in their office was far from complete.

Hoping you may be able to aid me in this matter.

are on record.

Joseph Warner was born near Chesapeake Bay, Maryland and when a young man went to Virginia.  His farm joined that of General George Washington on the west.  He was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and received a bayonet wound on the skull at the battle of Germantown.  The wound was three or four inches long.  My grandfather's father

was Henry Warner and was born in 1777 in Fairfax County Virginia.  Henry Warner was the son of Joseph Warner.

So the conclusions are that Joseph Warner was living on this farm in Fairfax County that joined Gen George Washington's on the west at the time he enlisted.  Joseph Warner was a

a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Alexandria, Virginia.  This is all the record I have.  Hope it will be sufficient.

Gentlemen:
If you have information of those who participated in the Revolution
would it be possible to obtain the military record of my great
grandfather, Joseph Warner? [Warner has been hand underlined.]
Our family records indicate the following:
Joseph Warner, born 1738. Died September5, 1842, at 104 years.
Born in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
Moved in 1776 to Fairfax County, Virginia.
Is reported to have owned land adjoining that of George Washington
on the west.
Served in the regiment of Col. Harrod, under the Command of General
Stevens.
Was wounded [Underlined by hand]in the battle of Germantown. A bayonet wound several
inches long on the skull.
Can you give me any information on the above that would assist
in verifying or correcting our family records?
My son is a Lieutenant in the 15th Field Artillery located at
Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and we are interested in the history
of this ancestor.
Yours very truly

Sir

The affidavits which 
you deposited in this Office this 
morning have been examined 
and placed on our files.  These papers 
show that you were in the Rev War, 
but how long does not appear.

I understand from you verbally, however, 
that you were in the Militia Service 
eight weeks and no more.

The law allowing pensions to militia 
soldiers of the Revolution does not extend 
to any one who served less than 
six months.  Your claim has therefore 
been rejected.
