Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for the records of James Huggins and Walter McQuillen, soldiers of the Revolution.

Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from plains made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon military service of soldiers in that war. A search of the records fails to show such claim on file on account of the service of a Walter McQuillen.

The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, S.46449, based upon the military service of James Huggins, the only soldier of that name who served in the North Carolina troops that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.

James Huggins enlisted during the Revolution, date and place of enlistment not given, and served until the termination of the war at which period he was a private in Captain Tillghuan Dixon's company in the Tenth North Carolina Regiment. 

He was allowed pension on his application executed December 15, 1829, at which time he was living in Jones County, North Carolina.

The date affidavit of birth of the soldier of his age when he applied for pension was not given and there are no data relative to his family.

Very truly yours
A.D. HILLER

The Commissioner of Pensions,

Dear Sir
Did the widow of Walter Mcquillen, a Revolutionary solider who died during the war, draw a pension and if she did were the children named
I want to know too if you have any record of James Huggins and if his wife or children are mentioned. Both of these Rev. soldiers were from North Carolina moved to Tennessee. 
Thanking you for this and past kindness

I am respectfully
