Madam:
I have to advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 40685, it appears that Thomas White enlisted in Fauquier County, Virginia in the fall of 1776 and served three years as private under Captain Elias Edmunds and Colonel Thomas Marshall, and Captain Samuel Blackwell and Colonel Elias Edmunds, in the Virginia Troops, and was in the battle of Camden.
Later he served two months in the Militia, and was at the Siege of York, no officers stated.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 5, 1818, while a resident of Licking County, Ohio, aged about sixty-two years.
In 1830, soldier referred to his wife as aged Sixty-six years, but did not give her name; and son,

Nathan, and daughter, Sally, but did not state their ages.
In 1856, daughter Susanna Prichard is referred to. There is no further data on file as to family. The above noted Thomas White is the only soldier of that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau, who was pensioned while living in Licking County, Ohio.
Respectfully,

Dear Sir:
Replying to a letter written by you to my daughter, Mrs Lona Eaton Miller, 1305 West 8 th St, Oklahoma City, regarding one Thomas White, soldier in the Revolutionary war, we wish to establish our relationship to him. Thomas White died in Licking Co Ohio, sometime between 1830 & 1835 for my father (who was his grandson) was born in 1825 and could distinctly remember his grand father Thomas White, who drew a pension. He remembered it distinctly. Now have you any Thomas White on your records who died in Licking Co Ohio. The Thos White referred to in your letter is no doubt my grandfather, as Nathan & Sally are family names handed down. Please tell me where I can get further information & to whom to apply. Did Pension applicants give names of all their children? & Have you a Thomas White

on your records who drew a pension & who deed in Licking County, Ohio? Thanking you in advance I am
Yours Sincerely. Mrs Jennie Eaton 4151 Vincent Av So Mpls Minn.

To the Commissioner of Pensions
Dear Sir
I wish to ascertain from you whether or not there is any undrawn money in the Pension department belonging to Thomas White a Revolutionary Soldier who served 2 years in said war a part of the time under G. Washington in all about 5 years & who drew a Pension of 96 $ a year up to the time of his death about the year 1848. Other near Brownsville Licking County Ohio my object in writing is that we think there was a year of the time that he should have drawn previous to his drawing a Pension which he did not get or that there is a law or Land in force giving said soldiers heirs a certain annuity for a certain number of years after their death. You will please inform me in the premises.
Yours (Very Respectfully)
