Dear Madam:

I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim J.42170, it appears that James Dougherty was born December 25, 1749, place not stated.
He enlisted in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, June 25, 1775, as a private in Captain Matthew Smith's Company, Colonel Thompson's Pennsylvania Rifle Regiment; marched to Quebec under Colonel Benedict Arnold, was in the battle there, was taken prisoner the morning after the storming of the city and held until paroled August 3,1776.
He enlisted in the fall of 1776 and served as a private in Captain John Brady's company, Colonel William Cook's 12th Pennsylvania Regiment and was in the battle of Short Hills; after which he served in Captains Clark's and Carnes' Companies of Artillery and was in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown and wintered at Valley Forge. He then was appointed one of Washington's Life Guards, was in the battle of Monmouth, siege of York and taking of Cornwallis, and was discharged in 1783.
He was allowed pension on his application executed August 25, 1818, at which time her was living in Center County, Pennsylvania.
In 1820 he was living in Baldeagle Township, Center County, Pennsylvania, and referred to his wife as aged seventy years, and to four married children, but he did not give the names of any of them.
The Revolutionary War records of this bureau shows no James Daugherty or Dougherty who enlisted in Annapolis, Maryland, and left a widow named Polly or Mary.

Dear Sir: Kindly inform me when pension was terminated. I had some correspondence with your office in 1930 and was unable at that time to clear up the point concerning our Rev. ancestor - one James Dougherty.  Our James had a will probated in 1819 at Kittanning. Could he have earned a State pension, or is there any record in your files while will help clear up this point?
The two James Dougherty's in Rev. War records do not fit, but since our manuscripts are so clear that our James fought under La Fayette with Washington, I shall keep on trying.
Will greatly appreciate any help or suggestions.

Dear Sir: Much time has elasped since your letter arrived. Have been gathering more data and have filled out the blanks the best I can.  We are not sure that the 2nd wife was Polly Hawkins, but we have record of James marriage with her in 1804 and the third child are only daughter born was named Polly.  Marriage took place at Chambersburg near where they were supposed to live.
The children by 1st wife were Travis, James, Nancy, Joseph 2nd wife were John Samuel Polly
Statistics are so bare of details in the period we are searching that it would help us greatly if with the above information you

Page 20

could try and match it up with some Dougherty's records. There is a James Dougherty mentioned in Washington's Orderly books, that could be ours, for our tradition has all the same information. He resided in Centre CO. Pa in 1820 when he was pensioned and died in Franklin CO Pa in 1849. Would you be kind enough to see if his line could look up with the data given here with the name of widow of this last mentioned Dougherty is all we need to make the connection.
May I hope for an early reply.

I concluded I would, in my great need, do as ? formerly ventured to go-write directly to you, ? you to lend me as early as your conveniently, ? of the declaration of the following pensioners- the simple declaration with? the certifi-cates - ?:
