Sir:
I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau it appears that Ethelred Cobb
(Invalid File No. 342) served as a private in Captain Tipton's Company, Colonel Dark's U. S.
Regiment under Generals Butler and St. Clair.  No dates and no further details of his services given. 
While a resident of Lincoln County [handwritten: this from printed list of 1835], Tennessee he was pensioned from November 19, 1811 for disability, the nature of which was not stated.
[inserted handwritten: In 1822 before the Justice of the Peace of Davidson Co., Tenn, this soldier applied for a formal pension ctf. for the continuance of his pen., but did not state that he was then a res. of that county. The ctf. was issued Dec. 19, 1822.]
There is no data on file as to his family.
                                                         Respectfully,

                                                         Acting Commissioner.
