Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter addressed to The General Accounting Office, this city, and transmitted to this office for reply, in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Andrew and Nathaniel Davis, both pensioned while residing in Tennessee.

Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War data and the limited trained clerical force available for furnishing such information, it is not possible to comply in full with each request for Revolutionary War data.

The record of Andrew Davies (Davis) is furnished you as found in pension claim, S. 3256, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.

Andrew Davies (as his signature is shown in the claim) was born December 224, 1756 in the Waxhaw Settlement, near the line between North and South Carolina. The names of his parents were not given.

While residing there, he volunteered November 1, 1775 and served two months as private in Captain John Barkley's company, Colonel Richardson's regiment. He enlisted May 1, 1776, served two months in Captain Robert Crawford's company, Colonel Richardson's regiment. He enlisted sometime in June, 1777, served twelve months and two weeks in Captain James Pattigrue's

Page 8

company, Colonel Samuel Jack's regiment, in this service he guarded the frontiers of Georgia. He enlisted in the summer of 1779, served four months in Captain Robert Davis' company. He enlisted in Lincoln County, North Carolina in the fall of 1780 and served about four months in Captain Samuel M. Martin's company of horse, under Major Joseph Dixon, and was in several skirmishes with the Tories. His service was with both North and South Carolina troops. 

The soldier, Andrew Davies, moved when he was about forty-nine years of age from the Waxhaw Settlement to Iredell County, North Carolina, there four years and moved to Rutherford County, Tennessee, there about eighteen months and moved to Warren County, Tennessee, and in about seventeen years moved to Bledsoe County, Tennessee.

He was allowed pension on his application executed August 15, 1832, then living in said Bledsoe County. In 1845, he was referred to as of Benton County, Alabama. 

The papers in this claim contain no reference to wife or children, nor is it stated that the Captain Robert Davis under whom he served was a relative.

In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name and address of person paid, and possibly the date of death of this pensioner, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office Records Division, this city, and give the following:
Andrew Davis (as he was pensioned)

I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? [handwritten]yes

II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? [handwritten]yes

III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so? [blank]

IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served? [handwritten]yes

V. Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades to which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled? [handwritten]no

VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? [handwritten]yes

VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? [handwritten]yes

VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? [handwritten]yes

IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? [handwritten]yes

X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal? [handwritten]private seal

Page 26

2
XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service? [handwritten]yes

XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it? [blank]

XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had? [handwritten]No

XIV. If the applicant has produced a witness or witnesses as to his service, has the magistrate who administered the oath, certified that he, she, or they are persons of credibility? [blank]

XV. Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age, as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service? [blank]

XVI. Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? [handwritten]No

XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? [blank]

EXPLANATORY NOTES.
QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of this service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For _ year_ months, and _ days, I served as a _. For _ months and _ days, I served as a _; and for such service I claim a pension.

Page 27

3
It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. 

QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the affidavits must be properly authenticated, as above directed.

QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of the office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.

[handwritten]In every case where the Clerk of the Court, or other certifying officer has no public Seal of office the certificate of a Member of Congress, proving the official character and Signature of the certifying officer, should be sent with the papers.
