Madam:
     I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, s. 10492, it appears that Anthony Crockett was born in Prince Edward County, Virginia, date not given. 
     While a resident of Botetourt County, Virginia, he enlisted in February, 1776, in Captain Thomas Posey’s Company, Colonel Alexander McClanahan’s Virginia Regiment; and after the battle of Princeton, in Captain Thomas Posey’s Company, he joined the Rifle Regiment commanded by Colonel Morgan; was in the battle of Somerset, Bound Brooke, Piscataway, both battles of Stillwater, White Marsh and Haddonfield, and was discharged in February, 1778.
    In the fall of 1778 he was commissioned First Lieutenant, and from November or December, 1778, until the close of the War, he served under Captain Jesse Evans in Colonel George R. Clark’s Illinois Regiment, Virginia Militia; was in an expedition against the Indians at Piqua, and in several skirmishes.

1832, while a resident of Franklin County, Kentucky, aged seventy-six years.
    He died December 6, 1838, leaving no widow.
    The names Dandridge S. Crockett and William R. Crockett appear – relationship to soldier not stated. 
    The above noted Anthony Crockett is the only soldier by that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau, and said records fail to afford any information in regard to an Asher Crockett.
    As a possible means of obtaining further information relative to Anthony Crockett, it is suggested that you apply to the Old Records Division, War Department, Washington, D.C. (Virginia Half Pay Claims).

I certify that I have examined the claim of the administrator of the late Anthony Crockett, who was a Lieutenant of Infantry in the Virginia State Troops; and I find that he was allowed half-pay under the act of the 5th of July, 1832, entitled “an act to provide for liquidating and paying certain claims of the State of Virginia,” from the 3rd of September 1783 to the 4th of March 1831. The administer has asked for half-pay from the termination of the war, April 22, 1783 to the 4th September 1783, and also from the 4th of March 1831 to the 6th December 1838, when said Crockett died. It is my opinion that the claim should be allowed; and I certify that half-pay is due for that period claimed, at the rate of one hundred and sixty dollars per annum, and the rate of one hundred and sixty dollars per annum, and that the amount is payable to the Honorable John J. Crittonder, attorney of Dandridge S. Crockett, administrator of said Anthony Crockett, deceased.

Page 22

Sir,
I forward you herewith an extract from the Pay Roll of Capt Jesse Evans’ company in the Illinois Regiment, of which company Anthony Crockett was Lieutenant. I send also a copy of the settlement of Crockett’s account for depreciation. These papers accord precisely and I think that they when conclusively that Crockett’s period of service terminated the 13 July 1780. Whether he then retired from service or became (?), I am not prepared to determine. There are however a great many documents dating to the Illinois army recently deposited in this office which I have not yet had leisure to examine carefully. I would therefore suggest the propriety of suspending Crockett’s claim for the present. I find on engaging at the Land office that he never drew land bounty.
I must take the liberty to return for longer examination the claims of Herbret L. Barron. I have made some (?) in relation to the but expect to have access tomorrow or next day to some authentic pay roll of the 5 Cat Navy – found during

Page 23

During the last summer. The cases of the two Spencers and of Matthew are still under consideration.
I shall probably have some further explanations to make (?) the case of Lieut. Dalton and hereafter request a confirmation of your decision on that claim.
It occurs to me that if the application on behalf of offices not regularly (?) by the bords, should continue to multiply, which in all probability will be the case, it would be important for you to have copies of some of the documents in the office, particularly of those recently discovered and managed. Although my current duties will not allow me to the share the labor from my office, I could easily have them copied at a reasonable expense for the Treasury Dept.
I am yours with high respect 
Yours
