25 May 1882
Georgia Wilkes County 3 J. Andrew Wolff do — Solemnly swear that the
following statement is true to the best of my knowledge, recollection and belief —
I joined the Army at Valley Forge, whilst General Scott was in Command — was Received by Col. Tipton — was attached to the 4 Regt Virginia Line Commanded then by Col Neville. belonging to Captain Coopers Company afterwards attached to the 8 Regt. Major Cochran Wm Dennis O'Kelly was the adjutant. The Company was first Commanded by Capt. Killpatrick and afterwards by Capt James Curry — after Wallace was taken I procured a furlough to return home for a time and before I again could
rejoin the Army it was disbanded — (having been prevented by sickness from returning as soon as I desired) I received no bounty in land — I enlisted with Col. Tipton at Millers Town or by some called Woodstock and from thence with other recruits went to Valley Forge — as before stated — being young at the time cannot now remember the date of enlistment Sworn to before me this 12 day May 1882 John Jesse J.P.

Hon: Secretary of the Treasury. Washington Sir.
Yours of the 25 th May 1882 was received, & duly noted. Andrew Wolfe The present applicant is well recommended by you and his statement very honest, though somewhat confused which is easily accounted for, by his being a poor uneducated Irish boy. — The Regiments being much reduced from various causes; the 8 th and 4 th were joined and denominated the 4 th , and was commanded commanded by Col o Neville, William Foraghan was Major, William D. O'Kelly Adjutant. Wolfe was then with the troops at Valley Forge, and waited on Kelly and took care of his horse, I think Patrick commanded the Company then in which he was and afterwards in mine when I had the Command of it — The Virginians here were captured at Charleston South Carolina, after a months siege, on the 12 th of May — 80. and the Officers paroled to Haddon Point; where the Carolinians had built Barracks. we were allowed our weapons, and Kelly retained Wolfe. The prisoners were put aboard vessels, and getting naked any relief not appearing they became became uneasy. Charles Montague, who had been Governor of So. Carolina attempting to enlist a Corps from the prisoners, succeeded in getting a number, who expected to be taken into the Country and then make their escape; but they were immediately put in vessels, and sent to the West-Indies. Adjutant Kelly went to the enemy, but could not get Wolfe to go with him; which was honorable to the poor fellow. — of his latter statement I have no knowledge but have no doubt of its correctness, from the truth of what I know

General Charles Scott then commanded the Brigade as he says. Lafayette commanded the Virginia division. He has an undoubted right to his land and until this late date, he has not had the means of obtaining it.
I have with pleasure heard it in my power to be a minister of the poor Revolution fellows. Their claims are more difficult to obtain, as the great majority of the Revolutionary Officers having served their term, have retired to rest, and sleep with their fathers.
You have my opinion of Wolfer honesty. I cannot resist the impulse of and hope there can be no dispute about congratulations on the prospects of Van Buren, & your cause. his obtaining his lands.
It is pleasing to see this intimate faction beat down with their own weapons: we have a few good men in Congress.
But as Napoleon in his mode of comparison said of Ney, "That he was the bravest of the brave": so I would say of Stanley, he is the basest of the base.
I know your affairs all according to I have The Globe, and The Echo and Hargreaves sends me an Argus he is very obliging.

They were from Westmoreland Co. - also anything concerning Andrew Wolf of Westmoreland. He was married about 1769. Also data concerning Walter McCoule . This is for historical research and not to enable anyone to enter any organization. Thankful for anything you may do for me. Yours Respectfully Mrs. H. R. Atkinson R.F.D. # 2 Athens - Ohio.

Department of the Interior Bureau of Pensions Revolutionary War Section. Washington. D. C. Gentlemen:—
Is there any record concerning the services of Andrew Woef or Wolf, in the Revolutionary War? Family history says he came from Germany, hired by the British to fight against the Colonies but went over to the American army and marched from Trenton to New York. Any clue at all will be greatly prized, and I hope I can find a record of his discharge. He married in America and his son George fought in the frontier Indian wars & drew a pension for wounds received. Any record of Andrew Woef's war experiences or family, will be appreciated. Yours very Truly, Mrs. Nora Wolf Atkinson 167 Lancaster St. Athens. Ohio

Dear Sirs:
In the 1913 Year Book of the Sons of the Revolution of Kentucky I note that one of my ancestors, Andrew Wolf , received Bounty Warrant 3734 for 200 A of land for Service in the Va. Cont. Line during the Revolutionary War. He probably enlisted from Rockingham County, Va, and the Land lies in Greenup County, KY. May I please have his Service? what information there is relative to his family,? did he draw a pension? is there any data there? I thank you.
Respectfully,

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request of November 26, for information in regard to Jacob and John Pisor, of Westmoreland County, Andrew Woolf, of the same county, who married about 1769, and Walter McCooles, all soldiers of the Revolutionary War.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land made to the United States based upon military service of soldiers in that war.
A careful search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the Revolutionary War service of Jacob and John Pisor or Walter McCooles, under any spelling of the surnames.
As stated in letter to you April 8, 1925, the record of Andrew Wolf, S. 46413, which was furnished you May 13, 1924, is that of the only Andrew Wolf, under any spelling, found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letters in which you request the record of James Stuart, who was discharged September 18, 1793 (evidently meant for 1783) and who received B.L. warrant 4623, which he assigned to Francis Graves and drew a pension, also, and died in Posey County, Indiana, and further, the Revolutionary War record of Andrew Wolf of Virginia, who received B.L. warrant 3734, for two hundred acres, located in Greenup County, Kentucky.
Your citations in regard to land pertain to Virginia State records and not to the United States records. The Revolutionary War pension record has been found of only one Andrew Wolf. He was of Virginia. He received a pension. No record has been found of receipt of land from the United States.
No claim for pension has been found based upon service in the Revolutionary War of the James Stuart described by you. The records show that he received land from the United States.
His record and that of Andrew Wolf are furnished you herewith.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator
