Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Benjamin Maberry, of Sumner County, Tennessee, listed as a pensioner and Henry Maberry, of the Virginia State Line.
A careful search of the Revolutionary War records has been made and no record found of a claim for pension or bounty land having been made to the United States based upon the military service in that war of Henry Maberry. Such claims are the source of the data furnished by this office.
It is suggested that as a possible means of obtaining information in regard to the military service of that soldier, you apply to The Adjutant General, War Department, this city, who is custodian of military records.
The record of Benjamin Maberry has been found and is given herein, the data for which were obtained from the papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim, S.38926, based upon the military service of said Benjamin Maberry in that war.
Benjamin Maberry (the name is variously spelled, Mabry, Mabery, Mayberry-pensioned Maberry) was born February 21, 1755. The place of his birth and the names of his parents are not shown.
Benjamin Maberry enlisted in the state of North Carolina, in 1781, served as a private and artificer in Captain William Lytle's Company, Colonel Hardy Murfree's North Carolina Regiment and was discharged about April 12, 1782, having served one year.
He was allowed pension on his application executed February 9, 1829, while a resident of Sumner County, Tennessee. Soldier stated that he had no family residing with him and resided a part of the time with James Mabery but did not give any relationship.

There are no further family data.
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, Benjamin Maberry (S.38926), you should address The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data:
