Mrs. H. M. Troutman
Port Matilda, Penna.

Madam;
I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau it appears the John Davidson served as a Dragoon in Lee's Legion, War of the Revolution, and was allowed pension from September 4, 1794 while a resident of Prince Edward County, Virginia, and was later paid at the Kentucky Agency.
There are no papers on file relative to said pensioner, owing to the destruction of such papers when the War Office was burned in 1800 and 1814, and in consequence, there is no further data as to his service and no data as to his family.
Respectfully,

Winfield Scott
Commissioner
