difficulty he has obtained the testimony of Joshua Gore
of Johnson county, Illinois State & knows not of any

be sufficient to place him on the penssion list -
this first application ins forwarded in order to show
the time when his pension should commence - 
There has I believe in all little more than a dozen

One by the Name of Farmer just got on the list

ignorance been troubling you about him

Enclosed you have the papers of Eleazar

baffled and disappointed for many years, in his
endeavours to bring himself, with documents
properly prepared, before the war department.
He is old, infirm, almost blind and poor, without
any assistance for [the] making a sufficialy

think his case comes rightly within the law and
hope I may be speedily authorised to enclose
his pension certificate.

upon service of Eleazar Gore (his signature Eleazar)

data found.

Eleazar Gore enlisted in Chester County,
South Carolina, sometime in February, 1776, served
in Captain Richard Winn's company, Colonel William
Thompson's South Carolina regiment, was in the
battle on Sullivan's Island, and was discharged
June 7, 1777.  After this servcie he was in the
militia until the [cloase] close of the war, no further
details of service given.

Eleazar gore was allowed pension on his application
executed June 24, 1818, at which time he was
about sixty-six years of age and living in Caldwell
County, Kentucky.  The  dateand place of his birth
and names of parents are not shown.

Eleazar Gore was a resident of Trigg County,
Kentucky in 1824 and then stated that his wife was
seventy years old, and that his children were all
of age and had families of their own.  he did not
give the names of any of his family.

The soldier, Eleazar gore, died February 14,
Page 37

On October 13, 1820, Joshua Gore, then of Johnson
County, Illinois, made affidavit in support of the
claim for pension of Eleazar Gore.  He stated that he
was well acquainted with Eleazar Gore, formerly of
Chester County, South Carolina, then a resident of
Trigg County, Kentucky, that he knew the service of
Eleazar Gore as stated above to be correct, and that he
(Joshua Gore) served in the militia, frequently, when
Eleazar Gore served, and that they were neighbors when
at home.  It is not shown that Eleazar and Joshua Gore
were related.

BA-J/MMHF:MLB

Honorable T. P. Gore
United State Senate

My dear Senator:

Reference is made to your letter of April 11, in which
you request duplicate copies of papers on file in the pension
claim of Eleazer Gore, S. 35978, a South Carolina soldier in
the Revolutionary War.

Photostatic copies of the papers on file in this pension
claim will be furnished at the rate of fifteen cents a page.
There are eighteen pages to be copied or in duplicate,
thirty-six pages, making the cost $5.40.

In makin the remittance, kindly have money order made payable
to the order of the Treasurer of the United States.

It may be stated further, that the papers in this pension
claim are very frail and brittle, which necessarily makes the 
operation for photostatic copies injurious to them, and a few
of the pages are so faded that it is doubtful whether the
copies would be very clear.  It might interest you to know that
if you desire it, instead of the photostatic copies, a very
careful examination of the papers will be made for you and a 
report furnished without cost, which will include all data
found in the papers in regard to age, places of residence,
service and family of the soldier.

Very truly yours
