Honorable Sam D. McReynolds,
House of Representatives.

My dear Mr McReynolds:
In response to your letter of the thirty-first ultimo, and the enclosed letter of Mr. T. J. Campbell of Chattanooga, Tennessee, I have the honor to advise you, that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 2414, it appears that Joseph Campbell was born in Culpeper County, Virginia, date not stated.
He enlisted in Albemarle County, Virginia and served three months as private in Captain Bradley's Virginia Company, dates not given.
His father, Joseph Campbell moved about this time from Albemarle to Washington County, Virginia, where, he, (the son) enlisted in the summer of 1780, served in Captain Robert Edmonson's Company, Colonel William Campbell's Virginia Regiment and was in an engagement with Indiana on the Holston River.
He next substituted for his father, served three months under the same officers and was at the battle of Kings Mountain.

Page 15

Shortly after, he was appointed Ensign of Captain Black's Virginia Company, and was engaged in cutting out the Kentucky Road, for three months.
He was allowed pension, on his application executed November 28, 1832, while living in Hamilton County, Tennessee, aged seventy years. He died in Bradley County, Tennessee, leaving a widow but her name and those of his children are not on record.
There is no further data on file as to his family.
For the date of last payment of his pension and name of the person paid, you should apply to the Pension Section, Civil Division, General Accounting Office, 1800 E. St. N. W. Washington, D. C. citing all of the following data. Ctf. 19166, issued August 14, 1833, rate $40 per annum, commenced March 4, 1831, Act of June 7, 1832, East Tennessee Agency, pensioner Joseph Campbell.

You are herewith furnished the history of the only pensioner of the War of 1812, named William Campbell, who enlisted from Tennessee.
From the papers in the pension claim, Widow 11391, it appears that William L. Campbell enlisted November 13, 1814, and served as a private in Captain John Lewis' Company of Tennessee Militia until discharged June 5, 1815.

Page 16

He married Julia Brown, April 26, 1829, in Warren County, Tennessee. He was allowed pension on his application executed June 26, 1871, at which time he was eighty-four years old and a resident of Warren County, Tennessee, where he died April 29, 1876.
The widow Julia was allowed pension on her application executed April 5, 1878, while living in said county, aged seventy-three years.
There is no further data on file as to family.
Very truly yours,

Acting Commissioner.

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims, of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Joseph Campbell which require further proof or explanation.

I.  Does the declaration show where the applicant resides?

II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides?

III.  If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so?

IV.  Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served?

V. *Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled?
No

VI.  Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations?

VII.  Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832?

VIII. Has the Court given their opinion?

IX.  Has the Clerk given his certificate?

I. Is the Clerk's seal affixed?  And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal?
No

Page 21

3

It is important in all cases to determine with precisions the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law direct s the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service.  The use of the phrase about three or four months in too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable.  Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service.  This form of a declaration is highly objectionable.  It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served;  the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority;  that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
QUERE XIV.  Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of  the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of this leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged.  The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
QUERE XVI.   Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
>In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.

[handwritten notation]
Should prove his service as a [ensign]
and that he received a commission.

This comes to inform you that Joseph Campbell is a pensioner of the revolution and has not drawn any money from March 4th eighteen hundred and thirty-seven from the bank at Knoxville and that he has constituted Robert McCormick to act as agent for said Joseph Campbell and I have been at Knoxville but could not receive any money on account of the new act for I was as Knoxville the 17th of Oct the said Campbell is crippled so he cannot get out of his own house. He is needy of his pension. They have no money in the office in Knoxville at this time. They cannot dispose of the check for money. I want you to send the money or a order on Robert King the agent and I send the enclosed certificate and I want it to return safe. Direct your answer to Calhoun Post Office TN. Nothing more but remain your humble servant.

Sir
I have the honor of informing
you of the death of Joseph Campbell, a Revolution
Pensioner who died in Bradley County Tenn
on the 9th Inst. I have been Mr. Campbells agent
for receiving his pension at Knoxville for several years
past and received his last semiannual payment in Sept
past. The object of this communication is to get 
instructions from your office of the proper manner
of proceeding to obtain the back pension and the
continuance of the half pension to his widow.

As through a kind providence I am still able
to go to Knoxville on my own pension I shall as have
before do Mrs. Campbells business gratuitously and by
sending me the forms and instructions I will conform
them strictly.  The widow is very needy and I have
reason to believe that the very last dollar was absorbed
in the sickness and burial of my old friend.
his certificate is No 1507, in red ink Recorded in Book
E Vol 7 page 39 and on the back the seal 19.166.  It will be
doing a great favour to the widow if the back pension
can be sent on in a draft from Washington City, as it can 
be changed at once for cash which she needs for her daily
existence.  I am most respectfully your obt servt
Robert McCormick

Revolutionary Record

Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D. C.

My dear Sir:

On December 18, 1924, you advised me that Jos. Campbell, of Tennessee, drew a pension during his [lifetime] as a revolutionary soldier, being Ce3rtificate No. 19166, issued August 14, 1833.

One of my constituents would like to know that if at the time of the death of this Jos. Campbell, your records show that his widow was pensioned, or did she receive any residue of the pension due him. If your records show such a widow, he would like to have her name and such information as may be contained in her application for pension.  I would appreciate this information very much.

Also the following information is desired:
"a. William Campbell, Private, Capt. James Hamiltons Company, 1st Regiment (Hall's).  1st Regiment Tennessee Volunteers.  Service began Dec 10, 1812 and ended April 22, 1813
"b.  William Campbell (Johnson's), East Tennessee Militia.  His service commenced Sept, 18, 1814, and he was discharged Oct. 5, 1814, by furnishing James Campbell as a substitute.  His place of residence was Sevier county."

Sir

I have to advise you that from the papers in the
Revolutionary War pension claim S. 2414 it appears that
Joseph Campbell was born in Culpeper County, Virginia,
date not stated.

He enlisted in Albemarle County, Virginia and served
three months as a private in Captain Bradley's Virginia
Company, dates not stated.

His father, Joseph Campbell, moved about this time
from Albemarle County, to Washington County, Virginia
where he (the son) enlisted in the summer of 1780, served
three months as a private in Captain Robert Edmonson's Company,
Colonel William Campbell's Virginia Regiment and was
in an engagement with Indians on the Holston River.

He next substituted for his father, served three months
in Captain Robert Edmonson's Company, Colonel William Campbell's 
Virginia Regiment and was at the battle of Kings

Page 36

Mountain.

Shortly after, he was appointed Ensign of Captain
Black's Virginia Company and for three months was engaged
in cutting out the Kentucky Road.

He was allowed pension on his application executed
November 27, 1832 while a resident of Hamilton County,
Tennessee aged seventy years. He died January 2, 1841 in
Bradley County, Tennessee, leaving a widow, her name and
the name of his children not given. There is no further
data on file as to his family.

In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension
and the name of person paid, you should apply to the
Record section, Civil Division, General Accounting Office
1800 E Street, N. W. Washington, D. C. citing all of the
following data: "Joseph Campbell, Certificate No. 19166, issued
August 14, 1833, rate $40 per annum, commenced March 4,
1831, Act of June 7, 1832, East Tennessee Agency"".

Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT

Honorable Samuel McReynolds
House of Representatives

My dear Mr. McReynolds:
In response to your letter of the 5th instant, I
have the honor to advise you that from the papers in
the Revolutionary War pension claim Certificate No.
19166 it appears that Joseph Campbell died January 9,
1841 leaving a widow whose name is not stated. She did
not apply for a pension.

The War of 1812 records of this Bureau fail to
show that pension was ever claimed on account of the
services of William Campbell of Captain James Hamilton's
or Captain Andrew Lawson's Companies of Tennessee
Militia.

The history furnished you on January 3, 1925 was
that of the only pensioner of the War of 1812 named
William Campbell who enlisted from Tennessee.

Very truly yours,
Acting Commissioner.

Honorable Sam D. McReynolds,
House of Representatives.

My dear Mr. McReynolds:

In response to your letter of the
seventeenth instant, I have the honor to advise you, that the name Joseph Campbell appears but twice on the Revolutionary
War records of this Bureau, as follows:

Joseph Campbell born about 1762, in Culpeper County,
Virginia, enlisted from Albemarle and Washington Counties,
Virginia, was allowed pension while residing in Hamilton
County, Tennessee and died in Bradley County, Tennessee,
on January 9, 1841. (S.2414)

Joseph Campbell was born about 1758, or 1759, in Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania, and resided in Westmoreland
County, Pa., during the Revolution. He applied for pension
in 1835, while living in Mercer County, Pa., on account
of having served at Fort Wallace on the frontiers,
guarding against the Indians, but his claim was not allowed
as he did not serve in a regular military organization
as required by the pension laws. The date of his
death is not on record. (R1636)

Very truly yours,
Hays Haymaker
Acting Commissioner.
