Mrs. J. W. Dixon
Rocky Mount, Virginia.

Dear Madam:
You are advised that in the report of the Secretary of War relative to the pension establishment of the United States, which was printed in 1835, the name of Evan Ragland appears on the list of invalid pensioners.

He was paid at the Virginia Agency under the Act of March 3, 1809; his pension began January 7, 1808, and was for disability. He served as a private.

There are no data in regard to his services, the nature of his disability, or his family, because of the destruction of the papers in such early applications, when the War Office was burned in 1814.

The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to show a claim for pension on file on account of the service of any other Evan Ragland, or of Lipscomb and Thomas Ragland.

Very truly yours,
E. W. MORGAN
Acting Commissioner.
