Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your request for information relative to Randolph or Randol White who served in the Revolutionary War and James Jackson who served in the War of 1812.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, W.9889, based on the military service of Randolph White.
He enlisted in Culpeper County, Virginia, date not given, served as private with the Virginia troops first under Captains Robert Todd and Smith but in 1779 was transferred to Captain John Bailey's company in Colonel John Montgomery's regiment; he went with General George Rogers Clark on his expedition to Illinois and Indiana, was in an engagement with the Indians at Iron Banks and served until peace was declared.
He married March 6, 1788, in Mercer County, Kentucky, Miss Margaret Kirkland.
In February, 1829, he was living in Randolph County, Missouri.
Randolph White died September 7, 1831. The date and place of his birth and the names of his parents are not shown.
On account of the Revolutionary War service of Randolph White, his widow, Margaret, was allowed pension on her application executed April 8, 1844, at which time she was seventy-five years of age and was living in Macon County, Missouri.

In 1844 one Thomas K. White was justice of the peace in Macon County, Missouri, but his relation to the soldier was not shown.
The papers in this claim contain no further data relative to the family of Randolph White.
The records of this office fail to afford any information relative to pension having been claimed on account of the War of 1812 service of a James Jackson who served from Indiana.

There is no evidence in this office showing any service on the part of Randolph White except as a private in which rank his name appears on the list of final settlement. Unless record evidence be produced naming the regiment in which he served as a sergeant and setting forth the time he served as such with the names of his officers no increase can be allowed.

Revolutionary Claims.
Under the act, entitled "An act for the relief of certain surviving Officers and Soldiers of the Army of the Revolution," approved 15th May, 1828.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
7 May 1829.
SIR :
It appears, on the examination of your claim under the abovementioned act, that nothing is found, in the public records at Washington, to corroborate or support it. This, however, is not considered a sufficient cause for rejecting it; inasmuch as the records relating to the Army of the Revolution are known to be incomplete; yet, as the testimony furnished by you, in addition to your own declaration, does not assert the fact of your having served in the Continental Army in the manner stated by you, but only that you are generally reputed and believed to have done so, it is deemed a sufficient cause for calling upon you for further evidence.
I am, nevertheless, aware of the difficulty that exists in obtaining, after so long a time, any positive or direct proof that your services were such as to entitle you to the benefits of the act. And you may be assured that, in weighing such as you may find yourself able to bring, all proper consideration will be given to this difficulty.
It is believed, however, that the archives of some of the States contain evidence of the rank and service of their regiments or corps on the Continental Line. This evidence may be found either in muster-rolls, settlements, accounts, grants of land, or other rewards for revolutionary services. It may, therefore, be well for you to apply to the proper authorities of the State in whose quota you served, to see whether, in your case, such evidence exists. Where this cannot be obtained, it will be desirable for you to obtain from one or more persons, who know you to have served in the Continental Army, an affidavit to that effect, authenticated in the manner heretofore prescribed. Shewing the term of your enlistment and length of service.
To aid you in this undertaking, I will, if you request it, cause to be prepared and transmitted to you, a list taken from the papers which have been received at this Department, under the abovementioned act, of the names and residence of such officers of the line and regiment to which you represent yourself to have belonged, as are known to be now living; and, on application to them, they may be able to supply the testimony which you need.
I am, sir, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Mr Randolph White. (Signed) Asbury Dickins.

Gentlemen:-
Mrs. Smith, ( Margaret Eunice Winn ) is seeking membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution, upon the service of one Randolph ( or Randol ) White , who served in Capt. John Baley's Co. Gen. George Rogers Clark's Illinois Regiment, Virginia State Troops, Rev. War , enlisted March 25th 1780, and was discharged March 31, 1783. He may have served a term before this in the Virginia as early as 1779.
He is said to have applied for a pension in Febr. 1829, and died in Randolph Co. Mo. and his widow Margaret Kirkland White was pensioned. Does the records of the Pension Office show who were their children ? We are interested in their daughter Margaret White who married in 1818 at Old Franklin, Mo. James Jackson, from which union Mrs. Smith is descended.
This James Jackson , husband of Margaret White Jackson, served in the War of 1812, in Capt. Enos Butler's Co. from Wayne Co. Ind. Territory in Sholt's Batallion, Indiana Militia. He died in 1833, Prob. in Owen Co. Ind. and his widow Margaret White Jackson, married a relative Samuel Jackson about 1837 who died in 1840, and as the widow Jackson she removed to Macon Co. Mo. Was pension ever asked for on the service of James Jackson, before mentioned, and if so what does these papers indicate as the ancestry of Margaret White, and the marriage to James Jackson ? and children of James Jackson and Margaret White ?
Very Respectfully.

Sir
I have already furnished you with a certificate shewing that Randolph White settled his depreciation account as a soldier. There is no evidence in this office that Randolph White was a Sergeant, but Com-missioner Smith who was appointed to investigate Land Bounty claims reported that Randolph White was entitled to Land bounty as a Sergeant. He no doubt reported upon evidence before him, but I have never seen it & therefore can give no certificate of the fact.
Very resp y
Jas H. Heath
