Frederick Mayberry R.6567 BA-J/MCS
Mr. Sylvester Greer Dixiana Alabama
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your request for the Revolutionary War record of Frederick Mayberry who applied for pension from Hambleton County, Illinois.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, R.6567, based upon the military service of the only Frederick Mayberry that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
He was born in Virginia. The date of his birth and the names of his parents were not given.
While a resident of Hambleton County, Illinois, aged seventy-eight years, he applied for pension November 27, 1834. He alleged that while living in Bedford County, Virginia, he enlisted and served various tours in 1781 and 1782, amounting to about six months and one week in all, with the Virginia troops under Captains Thomas Dooley, Downey, Isaac Ota, and Cummins and Colonel Skillard. His claim was not allowed as he failed to furnish proof of the alleged service in accordance with the requirement of the pension law.
After the Revolution he moved from Virginia to Cocke County, Tennessee, from there to Henderson County, Kentucky, and from there to Hambleton County, Illinois.
The papers in this claim contain no data relative to the family of Frederick Mayberry and no one made application for pension as the widow of this soldier.
Very truly yours

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of John Mallagun, private in the North Carolina line, placed on pension roll April 17, 1834, also, that of Frederick Mayberry, of Bedford County, Virginia.
It is presumed that the first soldier named above was the one erroneously reported as a pensioner in Hickman County, Tennessee. The name of that pensioner was John Mallagun, not Mallagun as listed, nor was he of Hickman County; he was a pensioner of Perry County, Tennessee and was placed on the pension roll April 17, 1834. His record and that of Frederick Mayberry are furnished herewith.
Very truly yours

He applied for pension November 27, 1834, at which time he was a resident of Hambleton County, Illinois, aged seventy-eight years. His claim was not allowed as he failed to furnish proof of service as required by the pension laws.
