Dear Sir - I am making inquiry as to "Pension Claim" for Wm Eagle of Pendleton Co, W. Va. (Prior to 1788 Augusta, Handy or Rockingham Co. Va.) who was a Revolutionary Soldier, whose record in this war I ascertained from the War Department.

In making the inquiry I hope to establish the name of Wm Eagle's wife and their children with names of birth, death and marriage dates.

This Wm Eagle lies buried at the foot of 'Eagles Rock' (Pendleton Co. W. Va.) which rock is named for him and is in a prominent Section of the land which the Government  is considering purchasing for a ''National Forest Reserve'' [illegible] I am very anxious to Establish this lineage of the Revolutionary Wm Eagle for my daughter, as I need this data only to accomplish such line.

I have a little record, which I copied from a Book - viz: - Revolutionary Soldiers of Virginia

Washington April 23rd 1830

Sir, 
I have just received in return from you the
papers of Wm. Eagle who Claims a pension.
You require further explanation of Testimony
&c &c - this old man lives in my neighborhood
and I have been acquainted with him since 
the year 1812 - the Clerk of the Court has not
certified in the usual form, this clerk lives in the 
same Town with me, & this authentication of 
the copy of Deeds is made by his son-in-law.

G.W. Arness. Who., the clerk Wm Dyer, being 
absent from home, does the business of the 
officer in his name & by his order, to my 
knowledge-

I know personally & am well acquainted with all 
the persons whose names are mentioned in 
his papers, except the witness who Testified
in Nicolas County, the magistrate & the Clerk of 
the County Court, & them I know by report only. 
they witness is stated to me, to be a highly 
reputable old man- 

Now I know there is nothing like fraud or deception
intended in this case, the Clerk of Pendleton gives
you the facts as they are of record, & it is Ignorance 
in Mr. Arness is omiting to put the Seal of that 
Court to the Certificate.

In relation to the objection why this old man did not
earlier make aplication

Page 23

let me bear witness, why he did not, ever 
since the year 1820 or 1821. as often as 
I have seen him, he has pressed hard on me 
to get this pension for him. telling me same 
tale of his services, but he had no discarge,
nothing to show that he had performed the
service, and I as often informed him that he 
must prove his service & this & this only was
the reason why earlier application was not
made by him for the pension & at length he 
found out by some means that this witness, 
Mr Odell, was living in Nicholas County & the 
last sumer he walked one hundred & Sixty Miles
to that county, and obtained the Deposition of
the witness Sworn to before a Justice of the 
peace, but without the certificate of the Clerk 
of the Court in the usual form, he came with 
that paper forthwith to me, well pleased with 
what he had done.

I informed him that he must have the the Clerk 
Certificate showing that this Justice of the peace
was in truth what he profesd to be- then he took 
this other Trip back to Nicholas County & returned 
when he got his Declaration made in Jany last,
& forwarded them to me, you have  sent them 
back & what is made by it, they may come

Page 24

& go ten times more before he will be able
(Judging from his Ignorance), to comply  with
your requirement.

I am acquainted with this old mans property
what it is now. what it was in the year 1818
at the passage of the the Pension law, & what
it has been in the intermediate space, & now Certify to you without the fear of contradiction,
that in the year 1818 at the passage of the law (spoken of), at this time , nor at any time between these two periods, has this old man been possessed of property, both real & personal, which would have brought $200- 
if it  had been exposed at public sale for cash,
as to this land it is really not worth one Cent per acre nor would any one have it,  save just such men as he, Eagle, & those he has traded with- they are all Bankrupt & payments which have been made for the land has been in Trash. at 
prices in proportion to that which they rated the land at.

Give him the Pension warra[n]t, it is Ten chances to One, that he will be dead before it Can reach him
respectfully 
Wm  McCoy

J. L. Edwards Esqr.

Dr Sir

You will observe a discrepancy between the testimony and the deeds - mainly in this Eagle states that he purchased 165 acres land from Trexall, for $200.  When in fact, as the record shows, he only purchased 115 acres and 50 acres apart of the 165 was patented to himself - for which it seems he set $50.00

In order to obviate any difficulty that may arise on this ground, I will state to you, that the testimony was taken entirely from the memory of Eagle, and no reference was had to the Records, except to attain the date of the deed from Jo. Jeffries to him - In copying the deed enclosed, I descerned [sp] a discordence in the testimony, but hope it will not prove fatal - to any if poverty and wretchedness

Page 27

have any claim upon the bounty of Government, I think he is entitled to as large a share as any other individual in this county:  He is miserably poor and I do hope you will succeed in obtaining a pension for him.
