eighteen months in all, under Major Williams and Colonel Glenn.

He was allowed pension on his application executed September

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to several soldiers of the Revolutionary War with surname Fulmer(variously spelled), of South Carolina.

A careful search of the Revolutionary War records has been made in your behalf and no record found of a claim for pension or bounty
land having been made to the United States on account of the services in that war of a John Fulmer (or similar spelling) who served from
South Carolina or who applied for pension while residing in that state.
The record of Jacob Fulmer(w.7343), the only soldier of that name or similar spelling, who served with the South Carolina troops,
is furnished you herewith.
Very truly yours
A.D. HILLER
Assistant to Administrator.

My dear Mr. Fulmer:

In response to your letter of the 14th instant, I have the honor to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary war
pension claim, 5.7343, it appears that Jacob Fulmer was born in 1752 In "the Dutch Fork", Lexington District, South Carolina.

While a resident of said place he enlisted and served as private with the South Carolina Troops as follows:

In the summer of 1779, two months in Captain John Adam Summer's Company, Colonel Jonas Beard's Regiment.

In 1779, two months on scouting tours under Lieutenant Henry Summer and Colonel Glann.

In 1781, four months under Lieutenant Henry Summer; was at the 
surrender of Fort Granby.

In 1781, two months under Colonel Beard ; was at the battle of 
Eutaw Springs.

In 1782, two months, officers not stated.

In 1782 and 1783 he served on various scouting tours, eighteen months in all, under Major Williams and Colonel Glenn.

He was allowed pension on his application executed September 26, 1832, while a resident of Lexington District, South Carolina. He died there January 23, 1839.
He married in Lexington District, South Carolina, August 17, 1813, Elizabeth Able. She was allowed pension on her application executed June 12, 1855, while a resident of Talladega County, Alabama, aged seventy-five years.

My Dear Sir[t]-

Yours received and glad to hear from you, In reply wish to say, I have only a partial record, I found in an old history that
there was a Jacob Fulmer (Sometimes spelled Folmer, Fulmore, Etc.)
who was a private in the S.C.Militia - Revolutionary War. He was put on
the Pension roll Mar. 4 1831. He was then seventy-two years old. And
we find he was still on the roll Apr. 19 1834.

The Following were in
the Revolutionary war: John Fulmore; Jacob Fulmore; John Fulmer;
Jacob Fulmore Junr. John Fulmer ,regular, Sept. 1779 in John C. Smith's Company, 3rd Reg. of Regulars. We Know that there was a Capt. Jacob
Fulmore, A Lieutenant Jacob Fulmer, and a Private Jacob. These records are indeed confusing to me. I have not been able to get them Straight.
I thought possible you had on file information that would help clear up the matter. If you will kindly look up the records for me and send me
such date as you have I shall greatly appreciate it. Mr. Salley, His-Com. of Columbia said, he thought I could obtain the desired information
from your office. These Fulmers were from the Upper Orangeburg District, known as the Dutch Fork. I do not have the dates of birth and
death.

Thanking you in advance for your kindness, I am,

Yours sincerely
V.L. Fulmer
