My dear Mr. Romjue: 

Reference is made to your letter of January 9, 1932, relative to information desired by Mr. R. W. Barrow of Macon, Missouri. 

The data contained herein are obtained from the papers on file in the pension claim, S. 32104, based upon the Revolutionary War service of Daniel Barrow, the only soldier by that name that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office. 

Daniel Barrow was born about 1757 in Brunswick County Virginia. 

While living in that county, he enlisted in the spring of 1776 and served three months as private in Captain Williamson’s Virginia Company. 

While living in North Carolina he enlisted in the spring of 1779 and served thirteen months as private in Captains Hill’s, Francis Tartanson’s and Bradley’s Companies in Colonel James Hogan’s North Carolina Regiment.  

He served four or five days at the time of the battle of Guilford and was in that battle. 

After the Revolution he lived in Surry County, North Carolina, from there he moved to Know County, Tennessee, from there to Wayne County, Kentucky, and from there to Jackson County Illinois.

Page 10

 He was allowed pension on his application executed April 4, 1834, at which time he was living in Jackson County, Illinois. 

The papers in this pension claim contain no data relative to wife and children of the soldier. 

Very truly yours, A. D. Hiller assistant to Administrator

Dear Sir and Friend:

My great grandfather's name was Daniel Barrow, and was a soldier in the Revolutionary War from Virginia. Dont know what part. My grandfather was also Daniel B. The soldier died at some town in Southern Illinois near Cairo, but not Cairo, having followed his sons out West. I have heard he was almost or entirely blind in old age and I think he got a pension while there in Illinois. I would like very much to have his record, where he was living when he enlisted, and all possible information. It is possible he went to North Carolina after the Revolution. My grandfather and his brother, Natha B, came as young men to Monticello, Ky., in Wayne county, and while there married daughters of Bright Gilstrap and moved with Gilstrap and his large family from there to Missouri, south of Callao in edge of Randolph county, and from there to Bloomington, My father was killed by lightning before my birth and I was reared by my maternal grandfather, and that's why I have no details of my father's ancestors.
If you can get this it will be much appreciated.
Yours truly,
R. W. Barrow
