23 Nov 1850

Pension Office, November 23. 1850
Sir, I have examined the application of Burrell Utley, for the benefit of the act of 7 th June, 1832. The reason assigned for the long delay in asserting his claim is not satisfactory, neither is the service set forth and sustained as the rules require. Evidence of any service rendered by him should be found in the Office of the Comptroller of N th Carolina, - and his identity with that service should be proven by the testimony of one of his Comrades in the War of the Revolution, who is himself a pensioner. If his claim is further advocated, he is referred to the accompanying instructions for the requisitions of this Office. But, from his own statement, it will be difficult to sustain it; for if he served but one term in the Militia it could not, have exceeded three months, an amount of service, not sufficient to bring his case within the provisions of the law.

Acknowledged before me by D. H. Kirkham Wm. Clarke

Comptroller's Office Raleigh N. C. Jany. 6th. 1852
Sir
Mr. Kirkham of this place has handed to me the enclosed letter, which I return to you that you may perfectly understand my statement.
Some time ago I was requested to search the records of my office for evidence respecting the Revolutionary services of Burrell or Burwell Utley, I did so and perfectly and distinctly recollect that I found evidence showing nearly nine months' service as an infantry soldier; but when I came to make the certificate I found that I had mislaid or destroyed my memorandum and consequently could not state the precise amount of one of the payments. I think that it was an Indent or army certificate, and as many of these are entered, as I will know, (if entered at all) in books which are lost, it will be impossible for me to state the exact amount. I am willing to make affidavit, if you require it, that the records of this office show payments to Burwell or Burrell Utley for military services, amounting to the pay for at least six months' service . I hope that

you will excuse the interest I take in this matter for it is very painful to me, to be the cause, however innocently of the poor old claimant's losing his pension.
The Revolutionary records in this office are very voluminous, and I have devoted a great deal of time to the study of them, and to arranging and systematising them.
I shall feel very much gratified to learn that this explanation has satisfied you, so far as the record evidence is concerned, & that I shall be troubled no more about the case.
Very respectfully
