RA-J/ILL Case (hand written)
John Dickinson
W. 7026

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of your great-great grandfather, John Dickinson
, who enlisted in New Castle, Delaware.

The data given herein were found in pension claim, W. 7026, based upon service in the Revolutionary War of John Dickinson, or Dickerson.

John Dickinson, or Dickerson, enlisted in 1775 or 1776, in New Castle, Delaware, and served six months as private in Captain Allen
McLane's company, Colonel Patton's regiment of Delaware Blues"; he reenlisted immediately and served two years and nine months as private in Captain John Rudolph's Company, Colonel Henry Lee's Legion of Cavalry.
During his service, he was in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth and Stony Point.

He was allowed pension on his application executed September 21, 1829, at which time he resided in Franklin County, Indiana. The soldier gave his age then as seventy-five years, but did not state the date and place of his birth, nor the names of his parents. His name was borne on the pension rolls as John Dickinson. He died July 9, 1833, in Newport, Vermilion County, Indiana.

The soldier married in the fall of 1793, in North Bend, Ohio, Catherine Olenderff, or Allandorf :  the names of her parents were not shown.

Catherine Dickerson, (as her name was borne on the pension rolls), the soldier's widow, was allowed pension on her application

(continued to page 2)

Page 21

(continued from page 1)

 granted February 12, 1853, at which time she resided in Muscatine County,  Iowa. She was aged then eighty-six years; the date place of her birth were not given.

A "Copy of  the record of ( lined out)  (inserted in writing the following) The following year and shown: the births of the children of John 
Catherine Dickerson" shows. (side notation -Original Changed)

Mary Dickerson, born September 28, 1796

Sarah   "               born November 28, 1806
Catherine  "          born December 16,1810


In 1853, D. A. Clover and Catherine A. Clover were residents of Muscatine, Iowa, and witnessed the signature of Catherine Dickerson
the soldier's widow.  hey stated that they had been acquainted  with the soldier, that they were present at the time of his death, and that they had known his  widow for twenty-five years, but they did not state any relationship to the family.

In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name of person paid, and possibly, the date of death of Catherine, his widow, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following:

Washington D.C.

Dear Sir,

An application was made some years since for a Revolutionary Pension for Catherine Dickerson
of this state & a pension was granted giving back pay for as far back as 1848. 
Mrs. D.  contends under the law that she
should have back pay as far back as 1836 
I wish you would be so kind as to inform me what evidence is now necessary to enable her to get the aforesaid amount, to wit, from 1836 till 1848 and any thing else connected with said case that may be of importance.

A.O. Patterson was formerly the agent in
making the application & I am now

Very Respectfully
Your obd Sert (sic obedient servant)

Sir
     Il have carefully re-examined the case of Catherine Dickerson, widow of John of Iowa and I have the honor to inform you that the allowance was properly made under the Act of 1848 instead of 1858. The only proof of marriage furnished is the evidence of the birth of a child in 17996, now to receive pension under the Act of1838, the marriage must be shown to have taken place before the 1st of Jan. 1794. The birth of a child in 1756 does not show that fact.

ATTENTION . . Pension Records.

Gentlemen:

The Adjutant General's Office suggests that you might furnish me some information regarding my great-great grandfather, one John Dickerson.

From the information I have received John Dickerson (or Dickinson) enlisted some time in 1776 or 1775 at Newcastle, Delaware in Capt. Allen McLane's company of the Delaware Blues, serving six months, and thereafter re-enlisting in Capt. John Rudolph's company, Col. Lee's Legion of Cavalry, being in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth and Stony Point.

As I am trying to trace my ancestry I would appreciate any definite information which you may be able to give as to John Dickerson's service record, his family, or his residence prior and subsequent to the Revolutionary War. I have been told that John Dickerson married a Mrs. Catherine Olendorf, which may help to identify the particular Dickerson or Dickinson.

Sincerely yours,

Dear Sir:

Read your letter of November 26 1926. According to 
our family records John Dickerson's wifes name was 
Martha instead of Catherine and the daughter from
whom I am descended was named Rachel, born
August 7, 1802 and he was granted a pension December 15, 1829
instead of September 21, 1829. In the list you sent 
did not show
me there is no Rachel listed.

Could it be possible there was another
John Dickerson granted a pension from Franklin
County Indiana? My ancestor is supposed to have come
from Virginia.

He was 80 instead of 75.

Most Sincerely
Ross Mullin

Director of Bureau of Pensions

Dear Sir:

I would appreciate any information you 
can give me about John Dickerson
who was placed on the pension role as a Revolutionary
Soldier December 19, 1829 and granted an annual allowance
of $96.00 at Franklin County Indiana. He was, as
I understand it a private in the 11th Virginia
Regiment of the Continental Line.

Most Sincerely

Ross Mullin
K-510451

P.S.
Please do not confuse him with Capt. John Dickerson of
Augusta County Virginia because they are not the same.

We have located the grave of a Revolutionary
Soldier, John Dickenson and want to suitably 
mark it. An old history of Dearborn County says
he drew a pension. Would you please send all
data your records show in connection with this
soldier?

A John Dickinson signed the Constitution.
An early reply will be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Dear Sir: In upon reply to your letter of April 14
1926 regarding the military history of
John Dickenson, in the Revolutionary War; will
state that he was born 1755 and died 
1833.

His wife's name was either
Catherine Anne or Mary Anne Dickenson;
from 1767 - died 1863. She received a 
pension. I am not certain of his
residence at enlistment, but have been
told it was Pennsylvania.

Was surprised that you were unable to find anything regarding Sanborn Cram, for the

record, which I have states that he
was born 1737 or 1738 in Hampton
Falls N.H. He enlisted from
Raymond in the Revolutionary War and on
returning settled in Unity, N. H.
later moving to Jay, Essex Co. N.Y.
He died approximately 1825.

Hoping that this information
will help you and asking you to
please reply as soon as possible

Respectfully

Mrs. Clara Cram
