Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for information in regard to George McDaniel, Morgan and William Murray and David Reese or Reece, soldiers of the Revolutionary War.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon the military service of soldiers in that war. A search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the service of a William Murray who enlisted from North Carolina or any Morgan Murray and David Reese or Reece.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, S. 36099, based upon the military service of George McDaniel, the only soldier of that name that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office. See Heitman
George McDaniel enlisted in Chatham County, North Carolina, May 1, 1776, in Captain Emmet's company in Colonel Sumner's North Carolina regiment, was in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth and several other small skirmishes and was discharged May 1, 1779; he served as drummer until shortly before he was discharged when he was promoted to drum major. He afterward served several campaigns in the south under Colonels Little, White and Littrell, amounting in all to about three years, and was in several small skirmishes.
He was allowed pension on his application executed October 23, 1823, at which time he was living in Perry County, Kentucky, and he then stated that he was over seventy-five years of age.

In 1823 George McDaniel stated that his wife (name not given) was "eighty years of age and upwards" and that he had two daughters (names not given) living with him, one about forty and the other about thirty years of age. In that year reference was also made to Thomas McDaniel but his relation to the soldier was not given. The papers in this claim contain no further data relative to the soldier's family.
George McDaniel died January 4, 1833.
Very truly yours

[Arrangement of 1870.]

I certify the Certificate of Pension, which issued on the 19 th of Dec 1824, in favor of George Mc Daniel of Pay County Ky. and which was trans- mitted by mail, to the sd McDaniel, by my- self has been lost, and I do not believe he ever recd it. as I have had several letters written at his request, informing me the same never came to hand, and I have confidence in his honesty, and that of the writers of those letters.

State of North Carolina Secretary's Office 15 th Dec r 1823.
I William Bill Secretary of State in & for the State of North Carolina, do certify that it appears from the Musterrolls of the Continental line of this State in the revolutionary war, that George M c Donald a musician in Capt. Ewitt's Company of the 3 rd Regt. was mustered on the first day of May 1776, for 3 years and was discharged on the 1 st of May 1779.
Given under my hand at Office the date above
W m Bill
The name of the Capt. should have been Emsnitt , and not Ewitt , an error committed in making out the Rolls, I have no doubt, & the applicant's name being spelt M c Donald instead of M c Daniel ought not to injure the claim.
