Dear Sir:
Please note the following letter on Form No. 72-2- A. G. O. as follows:
M. M. Ginn, #1914 Jenny Lind Street, Mc Keesport, Pennsylvania.
The records of this office show that one Patrick Mc Gee served in the Revolutionary War as a private in Capt. William Butler's Company, 2nd Pennsylvania Battalion of the Continental Forces, commanded by Col. Arthur St. Clair, also designated 34d Pennsylvania Regiment. His name appears on a company pay roll dated Philadelphia, April 11, 1776, which shows that he enlisted March 4, 1776 and was in service 28 days.
The records also show that one Patrick Mc Gee served in that war as a private in Captain West's Company, 3rd Pennsylvania Regiment, commanded by Lieut. Colonel Lambert. His name appears on a list dated Philadelphia, February 24, 1781, taken from the pay roll to September 1, 1776. His name also appears on an undated list of the men taken at Fort Washington belonging to the regiment. No further record of his service has been found.
The collection of Revolutionary War records in this office is far from complete, and it is suggested as a possibility that additional information may be obtained from the State Librarian, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, or from the Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C."

Patrick McGee-W.9184 BA-J/ATF
Mr. Robert R. Phillips Nassau New York
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information relative to Benjamin Vickery and Patrick McGee (Magee), soldiers of the War of the Revolution.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land made to the United States, based upon military service of soldiers in that war. A search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the Revolutionary War service of Benjamin Vickery; the surname was searched under similar spellings.
The Revolutionary War record of Patrick McGee furnished herein was obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 9184, based upon his service in that war. This is the record of the only soldier by that name found on file in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
The place of birth of Patrick McGee is not shown, nor are the names of his parents given.
He enlisted in May, 1778 and was a private in Captains Hughes' and Satterlee's companies, Colonel Hazen's Continental regiment, and served until the close of the war.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 9, 1818, at which time he was residing in

Onondaga, New York, aged "fifty-six years in the month of November last".
Patrick McGee died August 19, 1830 in Lysander, Onondaga County, New York.
He married November 18, 1814 in Lysander, New York, Zadia Williams. She was allowed pension on her application executed January 30, 1856, then living in Granby, Oswego County, New York, aged seventy-six years.
There is no reference to children.
Elizabeth Hall, sister of the widow, Zadia McGee, was fifty-eight years of age in 1856 and living in Van Buren, Onondaga County, New York.
Very truly yours
