Tho s Marshall (Jr) was Capt & Paymaster in Colo Tho s Marshall's reg t of Va. Arty. His Executor, Thomas Marshall, was paid in May 1850 $ 6.312. 82 but there are no papers on file in Pension Office but there herewith, showing residence or name of Attorney, if one was employed, but there are some papers in the Office of 3 d Auditor which might determine if this party is the one.
The coincidence in time (1845) when the this claim was probably preparing leads slightly in its favor, (with the name) as being the one enquired for
It is the only case found —
If can identify any claim in 3 d Aud. office, tell writer it is satisfied. If not then, tell him that there are no papers in the claim in this office. 188.

I certify that I have examined the claim of the Executors of Marshall Thomas Marshall, deceased, for half-pay as Adjutant Paymaster to Col. Marshall's regiment of Virginia State Artillery during the revolution; and I find that he served in that capacity until the regiment was disbanded, and that said Marshall became supernumerary on the 6 th day of February 1782. The claim should therefore in my opinion be allowed at the rate of one hundred and eighty dollars per annum, from the sixth day of February one thousand eight  seven hundred and eighty two until the fourth of March eighteen hundred and seventeen, when he died. The amount is payable to Thomas Marshall, one of the Executors of said Thomas Marshall, deceased.

From my long absence & the present disper'd situation of my Regiment it is impossible for me to give an exact return, but in the above the Officers stand as they rank in the line (except Capt Allen, who perhaps has no rank at all in the line) The dates of their Commissions I have given so far as they fall within my knowledge. As to the non Commissioned Officers & privates according to the best accounts I am able to get of them their numbers and situation
Stand

stand as follows. To the Southward with Capt (oboliterated) twenty six for the War, and between thirty & forty, whose terms of enlistment are nearly expired. And in the State of Virginia about thirteen for the War with Capt Moody one, with me, one with Capt Clay as I am informed & one, with the adjutant, beside five or six others with Capt Moody whose terms of enlistment are nearly expired.

Sir Sir
In reply to yours of Dec 30 in the matter of Col Marshall I have to state that I was a boy of 10 or 12 years of age at the time this matter was being brought up therefore my memory of the facts in the case are not clear but I will give what now appears or seems to me at the present as the facts in the case & the reason I think there is something in the claim is the fact that sometime about 1840 to 1845 - (Accomac Co, Va) Thos Gaines (Col) I think offered my father James W Melvin a large sum of money for the claim he being the only heir. The name was I think Col Thomas Marshall of Accomac or North Hampton Counties Va - I do not know the command the papers however were made out and proof of identity all made

I remember the principal witness was I think David Watts and I think he was a kept under seal Marshall his residence was Decatur Co Va was a minister of the Gospel The attorney who got up the papers was Tully R Wise of Decatur Va - (Drummond Town, at least he was the city at the time the war broke out - I had a letter from Mr Wise since the war from Cal - who informed me that he had left all his business in in the hands of George B. James of Washington City - Have never had any word from Mr James - The letter of Mr Wise referred to as well as a letter from Samuel Melain (our Uncle of mine) in relation to this claim have both been mislaid if now what is above given you can identify the claim & there is any thing in it the legitimate heirs will show up properly as required to Respectfully Samuel J. Melain
