Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Henri(or Henry) James, a soldier of the Revolutionary War.
The data furnished herein are obtained from the papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim, R.3735, based upon the military service of Henry James in that war.
The date and place of birth and the names of the parents of Henry James are not shown in the papers in the pension claim.
He married in February, 1786 or 1787, Jane. Her maiden name and the place of their marriage are not given.
He died in December, 1793, place not stated, and his widow, Jane, married John Smith; he died before 1807, and in about two years, she married Patrick Foy, with whom she lived for about five years when he died. The exact dates of her marriages and the dates of death of her husbands are not shown.
Could not find sol. in Pa. Arch.
On March 2, 1845, Jane Foy, then aged eighty-two years and a resident of Baltimore, Maryland, made application for the pension that might have been due her on account of the services of her former husband, Henry James, and alleged that he served in the 7 th Pennsylvania Regiment and was under General Anthony Wayne, and that his service amounted to about seven years in all.
Her claim was not allowed as she failed to furnish proof of service as was required by the pension laws.
There are no further family data.
Very truly yours
