Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Phillip Garner, of Rowan County, North Carolina, and of Adam, Lewis, Ludwig, Francis, and Henry Winkler, all of North Carolina.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land, which have been made to the United States based upon service in that war. A search of the Revolutionary War records of this office fails to show such claims on file on account of the service of any Phillip (Philip) Garner, Adam Winkler, Lewis Winkler, Ludwig Winkler, and Francis Winkler.
The record of Henry Winkler which follows was obtained from papers on file in claim for pension, W. 3061, based upon his service in the War of the Revolution.
Henry Winkler was born in the month of March, 1755 or 1756, in Easton, Pennsylvania, and when quite young, he moved with his father to North Carolina. The names of his parents were not given.
While a resident of Rowan County, North Carolina,

Henry Winkler volunteered in 1775, served six months as private in Captain David Smith's company, Colonel Locke's North Carolina regiment, in an expedition to Cross Creek against the Cherokee Indians. He served in a company of horse, commanded by Captain Peter Hetrick, in Colonel Loften's North Carolina regiment, was in an engagement, with British Dragoons, and Tories, at "Mass Ferry", length of this service, one month, no dates given. He was out in frequent short tours, in pursuit of Tories. The length of his entire service was fourteen months.
The soldier, Henry Winkler, was allowed pension on his application executed August 20, 1832, at which time he was a resident of Estill County, Kentucky, having lived in that neighborhood, about twenty-three years.
He died July 1, 1836, in Estill County, Kentucky.
Henry Winkler married the last day of June, or first day of July, 1778, in Rowan County, North Carolina, Susannah (Susan). The date and place of her birth, and names of parents were not stated.
The widow, Susannah Winkler, was allowed pension on her application executed November 27, 1838, at which time she was aged seventy-eight years, and living in Estill County, Kentucky. She continued to live in Estill County, in 1848.
The following data in regard to the children of Henry Winkler, and his wife, Susannah, are shown:
   John  born  November  7, 1780    Elizabeth  "  September  13, 1782    Lewis  "  April  10, 1785   

Family data continued-
Susanna born August 20, 1787 Henry " October 24, 1789
William Winkler, son of Henry Winkler, and his wife, Susannah, was forty-one years old, in 1839, and stated that he was their eighth child.
Names of other children were not given, nor are there any further discernible data in regard to family.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name and address of person paid, and possibly the date of death of the widow, Susannah Winkler, you should apply to the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and furnish the following data:
Susannah Winkler, widow of Henry Winkler Certificate # 3139 Issued January 18, 1849 Rate $48.66 per annum Commenced March 4, 1848 Act of February 2, 1848 Kentucky Agency.
