The office took exception to the statement and not that he missed in 1783 but I think he was just wrong in date): Length of this service, are months he enlisted in August and served three months in a company of light horse under Colonel Matthew Colours in the North Carolina troops and was in the battle of Lindley’s Mill.

	He was allowed pension on his application executed November 20th, 1832, while residing in Wake County, North Carolina.

Sir
	I found upon a re-examination of your papers that in the declaration upon which your pension was mailed, you alleged to have served 6 months; -- 3 months in 1781 and 3 months in 1783 continuing in August. The claim is objectionable, first on the ground that the service was a more voluntary pursuit of Tories for material protection, and not a military service wherein the meaning of the law; Secondly, that in the year 1783, there were no authorized the detachment of the militia, the war had ceased. This service therefore can be viewed in no other light than a part of that system domestic police, under necessary and purely out of the partisan warfare, which had to long prevailed in No Car.

Dear Sir:
	I hope it is not too much of an imposition to ask you for some information about my ancestor, William Clifton, who is known to have received a pension for service in the Revolutionary War. 
	William Clifton lived near Raleigh, North Carolina, served under Captain Dred Jones and Colonel Saunders, married Sarah Hunter on March 4, 1787, and died March 16, 1838.  If a record of his pension is still on file, I should like to have all the information it gives, especially the date and place of his birth. 
	Let me assure you of my genuine gratitude for anything you may do to help me.
Yours most sincerely,
Frank O. Goodlett
