Hon Park Trammell, U. S. Senate.
My dear Senator:
In response to your personal inquiry of the twenty-fifth instant, I have the honor to advise you, that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, Widow File No. 6312 , it appears that William Trammel , whose date and place of birth are not on record, volunteered in Spartanburgh District, South Carolina and served during the Revolution, as a private in Captain Daniel Duff's Company, Colonel Thomas Brandon's Regiment of South Carolina Militia, General Sumter's Brigade, and also under Colonel Washington in the  in the Cavalry , for about three years. He was engaged at the siege of Savannah, and in the battles of Kings Mountain and Cowpens. He was wounded in the service and was pensioned by the State of South Carolina, on account of disability resulting from said wound, the nature of which and the dates of his enlistment and discharge are not stated. He was a resident of Union and Greenville Districts, South Carolina.
He married December 31, 1836, or 1837, or 1838, his second wife, Sarah Runnels or Runnells, and he died December 17, 1843,
note (Son Days died 1843 wife says died 1844)

or October 15, 1844, in Macon County, North Carolina, at the residence of his son Javan. Four children by his first wife, whose name is not stated, survived him, namely: Jacob B., Robert, Javen and Jehue or Jahue. It is not stated that he had children by his second wife.
The widow Sarah was allowed pension on account of his services. In 1850 she was 45 years old and lived in Greenville District, South Carolina.
Very truly yours,
H.M. Vandervort
Acting Commissioner.
no use to go into investigation of widow's desertion etc. as she was granted pension & it does not appear that she was dropped from pension rolls.
Agency Books examined
and no use to explain about children having received it that was an official error.

Suspended on information of remarriage.
Mr Levy in his report submits the affidavits of several Govt officers that Mrs Farnum has not remarried and was loyal during the late war - as she is 87 years old I think the probability of her remarriage is very slim -
Still she occupies a  some house with man about 90 and they seem to help each other -
Mr Levy recommends removal of suspension and I think he is about right.

Nov 20

The facts in the case of Sarah Rev. Farnum widow of William Farnum, pensioner by Cert. No. 3695 are as I have incident- ally gathered them from her old acquaint- ances & neighbors during a seven years residence, substantially as follows.
They say that she went to live with William Moose before Farnum died, probably thirty years since,
That he had a wife living who still lives in Buncombe Co. this state. Nothing being said about any divorce.
She had by Moose two or three children who go by his name, one of whom I have seen several times, who is married and lives near his parents.
There was no marriage ceremony, she saying that she dispensed with it because she did not wish to lose her pension!
She says she hires Moose and pays him as she might any other man! I have heard them both say so.
Now they say they have not cohabited for twenty years. They have however lived together all the time & do still. Very respectfully, H. Larned. P. M.

Dr. Sir.
Your favor of the 1 st inst was duly received and as advised I wrote to the postmaster at Greenville S.C. in regard to Sarah Trammels. Pension check due March 4. th and in reply he states that the "described letter was sent by Saul Le Finsley of Marietta (S.C.) to Mrs Trammel. Some days afterward W.A. Bishop came to Greenville stating that she had received the check all right and that he was then getting the money on it for her." Since receiving the above I have seen Mrs. Trammel and she says that Bishop showed her a letter purporting to come from you, dated June 9 th which stated that the check had been sent to the Dead Letter Office, that her name had been stricken from the Pension List and that it would cost her ten or twelve dollars

to have it put on again.
Bishop has a bad name in the community and though but a short time a resident- I have reason to believe it well deserved.
If any further information can be furnished by us to aid in getting at the facts of the case we shall be ready to respond, In the mean time Mrs Trammel requests that another voucher for the quarter due June 4 th be sent as of course she did not get the one supposed to accompany the missing check.
Very respectfully yours.

In answer to your letter of the 11 th inst I have to inform you that on the 17 th Dec. 1851, a pension was allowed William Trammell, deceased, at the rate of $80 per annum, commencing March 4 th 1831. & ending 15 October 1844, when he died.
The amount due was directed to be paid to his widow, Sarah Trammell & the certificate was sent to the Hon. D. Wallace, H. of Representatives.
Mrs Trammell, it appears, was married in 1837, consequently she is not entitled to a pension in her own right, as none who were married after the 1 st January 1800 are thus entitled.

In reply to your letter of the 16 th April last, I have the honor to enclose Testimony in the Revolutionary Pension claim of Mrs. Fannell, widow of William Fannell, in reply to the points of objection made in your said letter.
I enclose a copy of the General Law by which William Fannell rec d an annuity as a wounded soldier.
He also rec d an annuity of Sixty Dollars per annum until his death, or rather until about one year before his death, for I am informed that at the time of his death one years annuity was due him which he had not drawn from the state, & which he asked

to one of his sons. He received this annuity under a law passed subsequently to the one enclosed with which you are doubtless familiar. The certificate of the Treasurer of this state that Frances received this last named annuity is also enclosed. The Certificate of the Comptroller Genl is also enclosed, showing that David M c Kin was also an annuitant of the state & the same David M c Kin is shown to have served with Frances in Brannan Regiment, & the widow of David M c Kin rec d . a pension from the United States for his services. The pension certificate, if I remember right was sent to myself — I knew Frances myself personally. I knew him in this District (Union) before he removed to Greenville District

and afterwards saw & talked with him in Greenville District after he removed there - The McJunkin & Trammell families were both in this District in time of the Revolution Many of both families are here yet. Col Brannan lived, died, & is buried in this District, & it was here that McJunkin & Trammell joined Brannan's Regiment! The witness Joseph McJunkin swears that he married Trammell his latter wife, & that the present applicant is the widow of the deceased soldier. I am well acquainted with this witness, having lived near him in Greenville myself. & I know him to be in every way entitled to credit as a witness.
Daniel McJunkin & Wm Trammell were both wounded in Brannan's Regiment - both received pensions from this state under the act

Resolutions — Both moved to Greenville & died there. The McQuinkin & Trammell families, divided & part of each moved to Greenville & part remained here. The identity of each is unquestionable. The fact that Trammell's name is sometimes spelt Tramble, can throw no doubt upon his identity. Trammell himself was an ignorant unlettered man — He was old & confused when the act of 7 th June 1832 was passed — & for aught I know he may have died without knowing such a law was in existence. Apart from this, he was drawing a pension from the state when the act of 1832 was passed, & he would have been obliged to relinquish this amount to obtain one from the United States. The pension he received from this state, came I presume very near furnishing him the

means of subsistence in his humble way, & beyond this, judging from my knowledge of the man, I presume he had no anxiety or care.
The witnesses James Hubbard Goodlett & Joseph McFaulkner all testify to the identity of Scamcece — I think this
case is clearly made out, May I hope for an early report.

The claim of Wm Fram mel dec? asserted by his son has been examined & the papers filed He asserted a claim thro John Tatham in 1833 and altho he lived ten years after he was made acquainted with the objections to his claim it does not appear  that he soon renewed it - His failure to prosecute his claim and the renewal of it by his son  son without returning the original papers or even alluding to his father's application or assigning the reasons for his abandoning it are well calculated to inspire a dis- -trust of a sons declaration foun- -ded upon a service which is found credited to his father's name on the records The original papers should be returned and if they shew he claimed for service in Brandons reg t

the claim may be allowed but if those papers be not returned or if returned do not set forth service in that Reg t the claim thus discredited & abandoned by the act of the claimant will not be allowed for the benefit of others —

Sir: The claim in the case of William Trammell deceased, has been received and registered under the Act of June 7, 1732.
The reasonableness of that rule which instructs us to distrust claims preferred at this day under an act passed 18 years since, is so obvious as not to require any argument. It is stated that her husband was a pensioner of the State of S.C. — on account of wounds received by him during the Revolutionary War. Whether the pension was granted him under any general law or by a special act, is not stated. If by the former mode, the law itself should be furnished from the Office of the Secretary of that State; if the latter, such proof as may be in his Department upon which it was based. This is required not as confirmatory of the fact, for that is already certified by the Secretary, but that we may judge what amount of service is indicated by that fact. The last payment drawn of his pension by Trammell would seem to have been in 1794. Why it ceased then should be explained, if such was the fact.
I would remark that the name to which the indent refers was Tramble, while the claimant's husband was named Trammell. This would not, of course, be a fatal objection in the case of an unlettered soldier, as it appears he was, but it is sufficient to authorize us in requiring explicit testimony to establish the identity. signed F E Heath Comr.

My dear Sir:-
I will be greatly obliged if you will furnish me with a copy of the record upon which pensions were allowed to  X Ebinezer Fain and William Trammell - They were both privates in the Revolutionary War of 1776. William Trammell enlisted in the State of South Carolina, but became a citizen of North Carolina and drew his pension as a citizen of that State. Ebinezer Fain enlisted either in Tennessee or North Carolina and was a citizen of Georgia for a number of years and drew his pension as a citizen of Georgia.
These are all the data that I can give you which I hope will be sufficient to enable you to procure what I want. If it is necessary to incur any expense pay it and forward me the bill and I will remit.
Your early attention will greatly oblige,
Yours truly,
L N Trammell

Sir.
Your letter of the 8 th inst. relating to Mrs Sarah Trammels missing pension check, is received, and in reply will state that the Samuel Tinsley to whom the letter and check were delivered is a brother in law to Hiley A. Bishop and gave the letter to him (Bishop) to deliver as he lives nearer to Mrs Trammel. He (Bishop) has since acknowledged to Mrs Trammel that he opened her letter, signed her name to the check and got it cashed, also that he wrote later and signed W m S. Collins name to a letter which he had shown her before to prove that her pension had been stopped.
Bishop was examined last week before the U. S. commissioner on the charge of forging Sarah Trammels signature and was sent to jail in default of $5000 bail to await trial at the next term of U. S. District Court at Greenville S.C. commencing on the first Monday in August next.
Mrs Trammel has received the value

of her check from the parties who cashed it for Bishop.
Bishop has been pushing some claims for indemnity for horses taken by our troops during the war; which the neighbors here believe to be fraudulent but as they do not know just what he claims cannot state positively.
Any information in my possession on this or any other subject I shall be glad to furnish on demand.

On this 18 day of February, 1878, at Middle Saluda, County of Greenville State of S. C., before me, J. R. New Matrix a Special Agent of the Pension Office, personally appeared John M. Duckworth and Elizabeth H. Moore who being by me duly sworn according to law, declared that their ages are respectively 81 and 76 years that they reside at Middle Saluda County of Greenville, State of S. C., and that they were acquainted with William Farnum who served in the Revolutionary War. That long before the war of the rebellion Sally Reynolds lives with him and it was said that they were married. But about three years before Reynol Farnum's death Sally deserted him and "took up" with Quinlan Moore who had deserted his wife. They lived together some three years before Farnum's death. Moore and the wife of Farnum have since a family of children, cohabiting and living as husband and wife. Thinks her pension was got by Wiley A. Bishop who lives in this State but his post office is Cedar Mountain, N.C., which is Mrs. Moore's post office. Affiant Duckworth for himself states that Bishop was indicted for perjury in N.C.
and they further declares that they have no interest, direct or indirect, in the claim of Sally Moore (Farnum) for a pension; and further saith not.

I have the honor to submit my report in case of Mrs Sarah Trammel widow Wm Trammel Pri Rev War.
M c L Cobb Deputy Collector being duly sworn says that he is and has been acquainted with Mrs Sarah Trammel for a long time and that she has not remarried and has been all ways loyal and true to the Union
William H Mounte Depty U S Marshall swears that he is acquainted with Mrs Sarah Trammel that she is about 85 years old, that she is and all ways has been true and loyal and that she has not remarried . but she lives with an old gentlemen 87 years old more for company for each other than any thing both old and both left alone
Hon d James M Allen swears to the same as W H Mounte and says that she Mrs Sarah Trammel is truly loyal and loves her U.S. flag.

W. E. Earle Assistant District Atty being duly sworn says that he prosecuted Wiley Bishop the party the party who forged the signature to a check for Pension of Mrs Sarah Trammel and opened her letters by which means he got the money). on that trial it was clearly proved that Mrs Sarah Trammel was a loyal woman and had never remarried . she lives in the same house with an old man who is 87 years old and makes walking canes for support. she Mrs Trammel is at least 85 years old and very poor I am certain that she is entitled to her pension, very much to my surprise & to Bishop's counsel he was acquitted on the ground that Mrs Trammel had on a previous occasion authorized him to sign her name to a previous check her loyalty has never been questioned
I would respectfully suggest that Mrs Trammel be paid her pension and that an order issued removing suspension. Very Respectfully

Sarah
Hammel is, I think, only called Mrs. Moore by strangers - that sometimes happens.
I do not think that she calls Moore husband, or that he calls her wife.
She, I think, usually calls him "Guillam".
I have heard him call her "the old woman", but the usual appellation is "Aunt Sally". She is usually called that by the neighbors, or "Sally Guillam".
It seems to be the general understanding in the community that they have lived together as husband & wife, avoiding a formal marriage simply because they did not wish to lose her pension.
Respectfully,
H. Samuel, P.M.
