Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Thomas Vincent, who was living in Hickman County, Kentucky, about 1840.
There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon the military service in the Revolutionary War of a Thomas Vincent who was living in Kentucky in 1840. The record has been found of a Thomas Vincent who served subsequent to the Revolution and applied for pension while residing in Hickman County, Kentucky. His record is furnished herein as found in the papers on file under Old War Invalid, File No. 26479, based upon disability resulting from service.
The date and place of birth and the names of the parents of Thomas Vincent are not shown.
While a resident of what was later Sullivan County, Tennessee, Thomas Vincent entered the service, date not given, and in the fall of 1788, served as captain in the Tennessee Militia, in what was known as Martin's Campaign against the Chickamauga Indians and was in a battle with them on a spur of Lookout Mountain in which engagement he was wounded by a bullet in his left hip. The length of his service was not stated.
He lived in Sullivan and Humphreys Counties, Tennessee, and about April 1, 1827, moved to Hickman County, Kentucky.
He was allowed pension on account of disability resulting from the above noted wound on his application executed June 1, 1831, while a resident of Hickman County, Kentucky.
It is not stated that officer was ever married.

In 1832, one George Vincent was living in Hickman County, Kentucky; no relationship to Captain Thomas Vincent was shown.
