Madam;

I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 38861, it appears that John Engle enlisted in October 1775 and served as Sergeant in Captain William Darke's Company, Colonel Bowman's Virginia Regiment, was in the battles of White
Plains, Brandywine and Germantown, and was discharged in February 1778.

He was allowed pension on his application executed April 23, 1818, while a resident of Washington County, Tennessee.

In 1820, he stated that he was seventy-four years old and had had a wife and one child but both were then dead. He died December 27, 1822.

Respectfully,

Acting Commissioner.
