Madam;
I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 1780 , it appears that Jacob Trout while residing in Rowan County, North Carolina, enlisted in 1781 and served six months as a private in Captain Douglas Haden's Company, Colonel William Loften's North Carolina Regiment.
He was allowed pension on his application executed August 30, 1832, while a resident of Rowan County, North Carolina, aged eighty three years.
In 1837, soldier was living in Tennessee with his son Joseph. Other children are referred to, no names stated, and there is no further family data on file.
The Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford any information in regard to any Francis Bullock.
Respectfully,
Acting Commissioner.

Dear Sir Inclosed I send you Mr Jacob Truitt's application for a transfer from the Pension Roll of the State of North Carolina to that of this State. His application was made out as you will see last summer. But it was thought best to retain them until you went on so that you might make the application for him. The papers are made out according to a form forwarded last winter by Mr Huntsman. I hope you will take an early opportunity to have his case attended to. I feel assured that you will do so when I inform you, that he is a very worthy honest old man & sincerely penitent, & nearly friendless indeed his children are all poor & the one with whom he lives has a house full of little children who are all dependent on their father's labour for bread. added to all this the old man has not drawn one

Cent of his small pittance for the last four or five years.
I have nothing of interest to communicate to you every thing is going on pretty much as you left us. money scarce, times, hard, & likely to be more so.
I may pass through the City before you leave there if I do I will call & see you
Please let me hear from you as soon as possible.
Truly & Respectfully Your friend
Geo Locke
