Mrs. E. S. Miller
Bentonville
Arkansas. 

Dear Madam: 

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the pension records of Daniel Gano, Thomas Scroggy and Noah Miller, Revolutionary War soldiers. 

The record of Daniel Gano furnished below is obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 4962, based upon his service in that war. 

Daniel Gano was born in November, 1758, the place and names of his parents not stated. 

On June 28, 1775, Daniel Gano was appointed lieutenant in Captain Richard Varick's Company, Colonel Alexander McDougall's 1st New York Regiment and served as such until the time the Americans evacuated New York in 1776 when he was appointed Captain-Lieutenant in Colonel Henry Knox' Artillery Regiment; he served as Captain-Lieutenant in that regiment and in Colonel John Lamb's 2nd Continental Artillery Regiment until October 1778 [Heitman given Oct. 12 -1778. October 12-1779 omitted as sol. was probably mixed up. Miss Stokes], when he resigned. On July 1, 1780, he was appointed Captain in Colonel Lewis DuBois' New York Regiment and served until the close of the Revolution. 

He was allowed pension on his application executed April 18, 1818, at which time he was a resident of Scott County, Kentucky. In 1832, his post office was Georgetown, Scott County, Kentucky. 

Daniel Gano died April 8, 1849 at his home in Scott County, Kentucky. 

The soldier married on May 21, 1808, in Franklin County,

Page 20

Kentucky, Jemima Robertson. 

Jemima Gano, the soldier's widow, was allowed pension on her application executed February 21, 1853, at which time she was a resident of Scott County, Kentucky. She was then seventy-one years of age; the date and place of her birth and names of her parents are not shown. 

In 1823, the children of Daniel Gano and his wife, Jemima, were as follow: John, the oldest, aged twelve years; Isaac, ten years; Daniel, eight years; Richard, six years; Eveline, about five years; and Stephen, three years. 

In 1851, John P. Gano was a Justice of the Peace in Scott County, Kentucky, no relationship to the family stated. 

*********

The record of Thomas Scroggy given below is obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 988, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War. 

Thomas Scroggy, son of John Scroggy and his wife, Rachel, was born March 20, 1751 in Mansfield Township, Burlington County, New Jersey. 

While a resident of New Mills, which was later Pemberton, Burlington County, New Jersey, he enlisted in November or December, 1775, served as private in Captain James Lawrie's Company, Colonel William Maxwell's and Colonel Israel Shreve's 2nd New Jersey Regiment, marched to Trenton where he was accidentally wounded in the arm, (no further details regarding this wound), and remained a short time in Trenton; after this, he served on the Canadian Edpedition, was with his company in May, 1776 at Wolfe's Cove and following the retreat from Quebec, was stationed at Ticonderoga and was discharged there at the expiration of service of at least one year. 

He was allowed pension on his application executed November 26, 1832, at which time he resided in Northampton Township, Burlington County, New Jersey, in which county he had lived ever since his war service.

Page 21

Thomas Scroggy died June 27, 1835 in Pemberton, New Jersey, and was buried in the Baptist graveyard at that place. 

The soldier married January 21, or 27, 1776, Ann Jones, daughter of Samuel and Abigail Jones; Ann was born June 16, 1758. 

The soldier's widow, Ann Scroggy, died April 17, 1837 in Pemberton, New Jersey, and was buried beside her husband. 

Children of Thomas Scroggy and Ann, his wife:

Rebekah Scroggy born November 2, 1977.
Samuel " " January 21, 1779.
Abigail " " September 20, 1790.
Thomas " " August 20, 1782.
Elizabeth " " July 15, 1784.
Mary " " October 23, 1786.
Job Rogers " " March 5, 1789.
John " " June 1, 1791.
Abraham Jones " " April 25, 1793.
Isaac Carlisle " " September 11, 1795 or 1796.

In 1854, the following children survived their mother: Mary Allen, wife of Rev. George Allen, both residents of Kingston, Somerset County, New Jersey; Rebecca Ewen, widow of Thomas Ewen, and residing in Pemberton, Burlington County, New Jersey; and Samuel Scroggy. They were allowed the pension which was due their mother on account of the service of their father, Thomas Scroggy. The application for pension was made by Mary Allen on September 19, 1854 and was executed in Burlington County, New Jersey. 

In 1855, Sarah Gaskill, the soldier's granddaughter, the daughter of Mrs. Ewen, and the widow of Thomas Gaskill, was a resident of Pemberton, New Jersey. In 1854, Abraham Gaskill and Solomon S. Middleton, residents of Burlington County, New Jersey, stated that they were "distant relations" of the soldier. 

In 1832, Samuel Jones, the soldier's brother-in-law, was residing in Pemberton, Burlington County, New Jersey. 

Because of the very large number of request similar to yours, and lack of a clerical force available for furnishing Revolutionary War data, the records of only two soldiers are sent to each inquirer. 

Very truly yours, A. D. HILLER, Assistant to Administrator.

Hon J. C. Calhoun,
Sir
I have again made out & return the papers of Danl Gano.  I think you will at once discover that he is embraced by the opinion of the Attorney General.  He lives by the charity of his friends; for if they were to coerce payments or foreclose the mortgage on his property, he would be stripped of the means of such instance -- He is thus living on the bounty of a relation -- The debts he owes are silver debts & nothing else will be taken.  He is a meritorious old man & served his country faithfully.

I did not deem it necessary

to get the other mortgage spoken of, as it was in the debt & mortgage exhibited would more than swallow up his little all --

This claimant having stated in his declaration that he entered the service on the 28th June, 1775 in the reg't comm'd by Col McDougal which ? was raised or the officers commissioned the 8 Mar 1776 there would appear to be sufficient reason to doubt the truth of his assertion in this point ___ and from the circumstance of his not stating the name of Col in whose reg't he served, it is to be presumed that he must have been in the militia service for the remaining period. There appears to be another circumstance which renders this case unsatisfactory, which is that the applicant has not produced his commission, nor has he stated the particular manner in which he left service.

We the subscribers having been called on to value and inquire into the Situation of Capt. Daniel Gano's property, have on examination of Records and papers together with some facts which have long been known to some of us, beg ? to make the following Statement

To wit, 1-Farm of 250 acres of land under mortgage for $462 with interest which in our opinion is more than the land would sell for at this time.

1 Crippled negro boy, and such Household and Kitchen Furniture and Farming utensils as is exhibited in his schedule; all of which is mortgaged to more than double the amount, that they would sell for: and such other property as is set forth in his schedule subject to an execution which has been hanging over him many years, and that too, for a very considerable amount.

 The debt of $1500 together with the out Lands spoken of in the schedule, are all lost His agent having failed, and is not worth one cent. Upon the whole, we do not hesitate to state, from our own knowledge that Capt. Daniel Gano may at any time, be broken up.

by his Creditors; and left at this advanced age
of --68 years; and  that too, with a large family. Without one cent to Support them--and we further state that his family has been supported chiefly by his own labour, for many years back, notwithstanding his advanced age; and even at this time he is under the necessity of labouring hand, to support himself and family in a tolerobly comfortable Situation.
