Madam:
I have to advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 7937, it appears that John Winborne was born February 5, 1764 in Northampton County, North Carolina.
While residing in said Northampton County, he served as substitute for his father, James Winborne, from June 1, 1780 to October 29, 1780 as a private in Captain John Peterson's Company, Colonel Benjamin Exum's North Carolina Regiment and was in the battle of Camden.
He enlisted August 14 1 , 1781 and served to November 1, 1781 as Adjutant in Captain Joel Sherrod's North Carolina Company, under Maj. Francis Hogg.
He was allowed pension on his application executed September 3, 1832, while a resident of North-

ampton County, North Carolina. no further family data on file.
In order to make a proper search of the records for a soldier named Archibald Odom, some of the following data is essential- approximate dates of birth and death, places of residence at enlistment and after service and given name of widow; and in order to make a proper search for soldiers named Reeder and Bagwell, the full name of soldier is necessary, with as much as possible of the above mentioned data.
Owing to a lack of clerical force available for the purpose, only two reports are furnished each inquirer.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.
