Sir;
In reply to your letter of the 6 th inst., I have the honor to state, that I have, very carefully, examined the list of pensioners on the Rolls of North Carolina, and cannot find the name of Daniel M c Cauley, who, you state, was a pensioner at the rate of $120 per annum, inscribed thereon; neither does his name appear on the Rolls of the New Jersey Line in this office. If you can state the agency at which his pension was paid, and where he resided when he died, I will cause another examination of our Rolls to be made, and will then probably be able to answer your enquiry more satisfactorily.
I am, respectfully, Your Ob t . Servt.

Dear Sir
The papers of Daniel McCauley, who claims a pension under the late act of Congress is respectfully submitted. He states that Col n William Polk of the State , either himself or some person employed by him made search in the War Office to discover the amount of money due him & found that his money had been paid to his lieutenant, Murdock McPherson. I have wrote to George H t Campbell of Tennessee in order to procure McCauley's Discharge, if it cannot be had such information as I receive from Campbell shall be sent on if necessary. He has Campbell's receipt for the Discharge. I have inclosed a Muster roll which McCauley wrote himself that perhaps in searching the papers in the War department, might be of service. He states the reason his name on the first page was written with different ink was that when he was promoted to a Sergeant his name was erased below and inserted above. He appears confident that an examination of the papers in the War depart- ment will establish the validity of his claim. The old man has become so palsied he can scarcely write his name, and I at his request have written such information as I have received

from him the circumstances of his being a soldier in the Army of the Revolution is sufficiently notorious. it is his request that an answer to this application may be transmitted at as early a period as convenient, and whether the discharge if received. or Combell's communication relation to it. or Combell's recuts are to be sent on Yours Respectfully Respectfully W. S. Davidson.

Aug. 11- '24 Mr. Washington Dardner, Commissioner, Bureau of Pensions-
My dear Sir:-
On my return from a two months tour of the British Isles, I find your favor of June 20, 1924 in my mail here.
You state in this letter that my ancestor was allowed pension on his application executed September 10, 1828, while a resident of Meck- lenburg County, N.C., and that he died December 26, 1840.
This Daniel M c Auley was my great-grand father, and you are correct as to the date of his death, so far as

The day of the month goes, and I had forgotten what year.
I was then told by my people that an application was made for pension, but that the money was never received. If my memory is not in error, a lawyer (purporting to be) by some such name as "True" was allowed to collect this pension. It seemed that he resided (claimed) in Washington. Please let me know if your records reveal the name of the person who received the pension. Also was there any uncollected pension between 1828 and 1840, the date of his death?
Thanking you for your attention to these matters,
I am
Cordially yours (Rev.) Wm. Allan M c Auley

My dear Sir:-
Continental I am writing to know if your files go back to Revolutionary War. My ancestor, Daniel McCaulay served as Sergeant in the Revolutionary War, and was on the pay-roll of the Continental Army (Pierce's Register) being a member of Col. Haze's Reg't. His home was in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. A supposed pension agent some years after the war was to collect the pension due him and send it to my ancestors, but they never heard from him any more. I have a desire to know if this money was ever paid out and to whom. Could you throw any light upon this? I will appreciate anything you can tell me about it.
Very truly yours, (Rev.) W.A. McCaulay

Tombstone data only I used General Moses Hazen - as Miss Marten has used it before that - and Miss Wilson was not at office the day I wrote this - so Miss Wilson usually looked over her work.

I did not inform him that the 3rd Aud. (date not stated) reported that per. died 26 Dec 1840 & pension had been paid in full. for the reason that this man wants to find out who was paid. and of course the dead pensioner could not have been paid up to date of death as 3rd Aud States.
