George Whaley S.40679
Mrs. George Martindill Wellston Ohio
Dear Madam:
The data furnished herein were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, S.40679, based upon the Revolutionary War service of George Whaley.
He enlisted in Lewisburg, Greenbrier County, Virginia, November 15, 1776 and served as a private in Captain Mathew Arbuckle's company and in Colonel John Neville's Virginia regiment, was at "Fort Randal" when it was attacked by the Indians, and continued in the service until November 17, 1779.
He was allowed pension on his application executed June 27, 1821, at which time he was living in Jackson County, Ohio, and was about ninety years of age.
At the date of his application for pension he referred to his wife, as aged sixty-six years, but did not state her name.
The date of his death which appears on printed list, S. of W. 1835, as January 27, 1821 is erroneous, as he made application for pension in June of that year.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name of person paid and possibly the date of death of the above named Revolutionary War pensioner, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, Washington, D.C., citing all of the following data: George Whaley, cer-

tificate #8396, issued October 8, 1821, rate $8.00 per month, commenced June 27, 1821, Act of March 18, 1818, Ohio Agency.
Very truly yours
