Mrs. Chalmer Spears 216 South 11th St., Cambridge, Ohio.
Madam:
I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau it appears that Robert McCullough served as a private in the War of the Revolution and was wounded in his left arm in an action with the Indians at Shamungo in the Western Territory and was also wounded in his left leg at the battle of Germantown. He was a resident of York County, Pennsylvania.
He was allowed pension from March 4, 1794 on account of disability resulting from said wounds. He died March 7, 1807.
There is no further data on file as to his  as to his service and no data on file as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800 and by the British in 1814  by the British in 1814 .
The above noted is the only soldier by that name of Pennsylvania found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.
