Mr. Blair Jones Pell City Alabama
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the record of Hardy Jones, a Revolutionary War soldier of North Carolina, who enlisted October 7, 1778, Blount's Company.
The Revolutionary War records of this office have been searched and the record found of only one soldier with the name Hardy Jones. His record is given below as found in the papers on file in pension claim, S.41699, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
The date and place of birth and the names of the parents of Hardy Jones are not shown.
Hardy Jones enlisted in Jones County, North Carolina, sometime in 1778, served as a private in Captain John Taylor's Company, 3 rd North Carolina Regiment, was in the battle of Stone and at the siege of Charleston; was taken prisoner, place where captured and length of time held in captivity not stated. His service terminated in 1783. He did not state that he served in Captain Blount's Company. There is an official statement on file that one Hardy Jones was mustered on October 17, 1778, for three years as a private under Captain Blount of the 10 th Regiment, date of discharge not given. There is nothing to show that this Hardy Jones and the one who applied for pension were one and the same.
miss F. dictated this
Hardy Jones was allowed pension on his application executed October 16, 1818, at which time he was residing in Lenoir County, North Carolina and was aged "about" fifty-eight years.
There are no data as to soldier's family.

In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the name and address of person paid and possibly the date of death of the Revolutionary War pensioner, Hardy Jones(S.41699), you should address The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data:
