FOR, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.

Dear Sir:-
Can you please furnish me any information concerning the war services of the Revolutionary War of Tillman Walton ? From the Office of the Provost Marshall Gen. I rec'd a letter and they refered me to your office. They have the record of

Tilman v. Tilman Walton as a private who was promoted to sergeant March 1778, and was discharged Nov. 7-1779. He served from Jan 1 st 1777 in Capt. James Franklin Co. 10 th Va. Regiment, also in 10 th and 6 th Va. Regiment, designated as Capt. Clough Shelton's Co.
The War Dept also has record showing Tilman Walton serving as sergeant of a Va. Cavalry.
Tillman Walton of Va, born 1760 was my great grandfather.

He was son of W m Walton and he married his first cousin, Judith Walton, daughter of Edward Walton. They were from Cumberland Co. I have a record of him as Capt. Tillman Walton and as a lieutenant under Washington. I am trying to verify this.
I don't know as he was pensioned but thought you might have some records.
The record I have of him as a commissioned officer was printed in a re-

liable magazine but I don't know its source so don't know if it is authentic.
Thanking you for a reply to this I am,
Respectfully yours,

Sir:
I am preparing a genealogical history of the Walton family. William Walton and two of his sons, William 2 d and Lillman served in the Revolution. William 2 d and Lillman were pensioners. I

would be a source of much gratification to the descendants of these soldiers, if they could have a Certificate from the Pension Bureau showing the service of their ancestors - if such are issued by the Bureau, and they would be very grateful for them.
As we understand that these soldiers mentioned many members of their

family in their Decla- rations for pensions we would be glad to have full transcripts of these applications, if the Bureau will furnish them - in the hope of tracing connections.
I enclose a memoran- dum received from one of the direct descendants of William Waller.
I trust I have not presumed in asking so great a favor. If I have I apologize

Sincerely for the liberty. With thanks for any Courtesy I may receive Very Sincerely Fanny H. Weeks.
This information is sought solely for genealogical purposes.

Dear Sir:
I will appreciate it very much if you will favor me with a copy of the pension application of Tillman Walton, who was born in Albemarle or Amherst County, Va. in 1760 and died in 1831. and was a son of William Walton. My family record shows that he fought in the Revolutionary War in the Battle of Kings Mountain near Yorkville, S. C. I desire the information for the purpose of joining the Sons of the American Revolution.
I would also like to know if there are any war records of William Walton, born 1736, and his brother Jesse Walton, born 1738 or 1740 at Goodhland, Va. or in either Amherst or Albemarl Co., Va.
Any information you can give me regarding the above will be highly appreciated.
Yours truly,

Dear Sir, 21116
I want to thank you for your letter of April 22-1937. on the subject of Tilman Walton - W. 4373 - BA J/MNHF:MLB.
I am inclosing a money order for one dollar . The information that I have is that these papers of Tilman Walton contain PAGES of the original Walton Family Bible. Your letter seems to indicate that there is only one of these pages present. So in case there are two of these pages please send me a photograph of them both. In case there are more than two of them, let me know and I will send you the money to copy each of them. However if there is only one page of family records send me two copies of it. Yours truly,
VEIT A. HAIN 11430 LONGWOOD DRIVE CHICAGO ILL.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you state that the family Bible leaves, five sheets in all, of which you desire copies, were sent to the Pension Bureau by William Walton, Senior, or William Walton, Junior. You request to know, also, whether or not the Revolutionary War records show payment to Thomas Tilman for capture of guns.
There are no Bible leaves or sheets on file in the claim for pension based upon service of William Walton, Junior, in the Revolutionary War. There is no claim for pension on file based upon service in that war, of his father, William Walton, who served as shown in the record of William Walton, his son, which was furnished you October 26, 1939. That soldier stated that his brother, Tilman Walton, had the family Bible. The record has been found of Tilman Walton, whose widow, Judith, submitted one leaf from a family Bible in support of her claim for pension. Photostatic copies of both sides of that leaf will be furnished you for fifty cents.
Remittance should be made by money order drawn to the order of the Treasurer of the United States and mailed to the Veterans Administration, Arlington Building, Washington, D. C., when the copies will be prepared and mailed to you.
As previously stated, there is no claim for pension on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War of a Thomas Tilman and this office has no record of any payment to him for capturing guns.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request a photostatic copy of the family record of Tilman Walton, Revolutionary War pensioner.
A photostatic copy of the family record of Tilman Walton, which was submitted in support of the claim for pension of this soldier's widow, Judith Walton, will be furnished you for fifty cents. Remittance should be made by money order drawn to the order of the Treasurer of the United States and mailed to the Veterans Administration. Each additional copy will be fifty cents.
If you anticipate ever needing more than one photostatic copy of this record, it is requested that you give present consideration to the matter, in view of the fact that the old document is very frail and every effort is being made for the preservation of these old records. A complete request at this time, therefore, would mean less handling in the future.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator
