Dear Madam: Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to pension or any money which might be due you as the great-great-granddaughter of Joseph Yaden, Revolutionary War soldier, pension certificate No. 8040, whose record was furnished you May 20, 1938.
There is now no provision of law under which the great-great-grandchildren, or other descendants, of soldiers of the Revolutionary War are entitled to pension based upon service in that war. Because there is no such law, the Veterans Administration regrets its inability to aid you in the matter of securing the pension or other compensation in which you are interested.
Very truly yours A. D. Hiller Executive assistant to the Administrator

Dear Sir

In regard to one Jospeh Yaden who during his lifetime served in the revolutionary war as a drummer; I have a letter dated Dec from the War Department Washington DC No 145734 stating that the records of that office show that one Joseph Yaden served in the revolutionary war as a drummer in an organization of Virginia troops (designation not shown) that his name appears only on a list of state soldiers and seaman who have received certificates for the balance of their full pay agreeable to an act of assembly passed Nov Sessions 1781. It is claimed by the relatives that Joseph Yaden served in Capt. Carney's Co Col Joseph Crockett's Regt, I want to know the [illegible] Regt Yaden served in and no. of his pension certificate and No.of his land warrant the No. of acres the date and what county and state in which it was located if possible want your statement show where he was born, he was a foreigner; does your office show where he taken out Natchez papers; I must locate his birth place. I am one of his decedents. There is a large estate in England due the Heirs. I think the land warrant was located in Granger Co Penn under a fountain head.

On examining the Rolls of the State Troops of Virginia, I find thereon the name of Joseph Yader. It appears that he received L 70:10:8 in part for his service; but whether he belonged to Colonel Crockett's regiment or not I cannot say. That regiment was composed of State Troops, and I think it very probably that he did belong to Crockett's regiment, and that Yader of whom you write is the same person whose name is on the rolls.

Joseph Yader
S. 1742
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Joseph Yadon, born 1756 in Ireland, served as drummer in the Virginia troops, and died in 1843.
The data furnished herein were obtained from papers on file in claim for pension, S. 1742, based upon the military service of Joseph Yader of Yeaden in the Revolutionary War. This is the record of the only Joseph Yader, under any spelling of the
name, found on file in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
Joseph Yader was born December 17, 1756, place not given, nor are the names of his parents stated.
Joseph Yader enlisted in Martinsburg, Berkeley County, Virginia, sometime in 1779, served as drum major in the Virginia troops, under Captains John Carney, Tipton, Chapman, Cherry, in Colonel Joseph Crockett's regiment, marched to Pittsburgh and went on General Clark's Expedition to the Falls of the Ohio, and was discharged sometime in December, 1781.
He was allowed pension on his application executed August 20, 1832, at which time he was a resident of Grainger County, Tennessee.
The papers on file in this claim contain no

In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name and address of person paid, and possibly the date of death of this pensioner, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, Washington, D. C., and furnish the following data:
