Dear Sir - Will you please send me the revolutionary records of the following two pensioners: (1) James Raney, of Pulaski Co, Ky. (2) J. Raney, of Daviess Co, Indiana.
This was the way the last named was listed in the book in our state library J. Raney instead of full name. It is either Joseph or Jeremiah Raney - the former living in Daviess Co and the latter in county adjoining, Martin Co. Both Revolutionary soldiers. I have not been able to find Jere- miah Raney as a pensioner if you have his record I admit that

also.
Trusting for reply, I am Respt.

Madam:
I have to advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim S. 35599, it appears that James Rainey enlisted in May 1776 and served three years as a private in Captain Roger Moore's Company, Colonel Thomas Polk's North Carolina Regiment.
He was allowed pension on his application executed October 29, 1818, in Pulaski County, Kentucky, aged sixty-six years.
There is no data on file as to his family.
Owing to a lack of clerical force available for such purpose, only two histories are furnished each inquirer.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.
