Mrs. H. M. Woodruff, Belton, Texas.
Madam:
In reply to your letter dated the 7th ultimo and received on the 11th, you are advised that it appears from the affidavit of Isaac Slaughter (R.4026), executed in Granville County, North Carolina, February 21, 1854, that Colonel William Gill of Granville county, North Carolina, was an officer in the Revolutionary War, died in 1826, and that William H. Gill was his son: but as said William G. Gill never filed a declaration setting forth his father's services and death, together with his marriage and the name of his widow or surviving children, no claim for pension was ever established. 
A careful search of the records of this Bureau fails to show that a claim for pension was filed on account of the services of Benjamin Kinzey in the War of the Revolution.
A statement of the military services of John King (R.5962) is furnished you herewith.
Very Respectfully,
Acting Commissioner.
