BA-J/ILL James Sacrey S. 35643 John Wyatt S. 16303
Dear Madam:
The record of James Sacrey follows as found in the papers on file in pension claim, S. 35643, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
James Sacrey (shown also Sacra) was born in the year 1755; the day and place of his birth were not given, nor the names of his parents, and residence at time of enlistment.
James Sacrey enlisted in 1776 or 1777, served as private in Captain Samuel Hawes' company, Colonel Woodford's 2 nd Virginia regiment and was discharged after service of two years.
He was allowed pension on account of his service in the Revolutionary War on his application executed December 7, 1830; his name was borne on the pension roll as James Sacrey. This soldier resided in Shelby County, Kentucky, at that time.
James Sacrey married more than once. In 1830, two sons by his first wife lived with him, namely, Robert T. Sacrey aged about forty years and John C. Sacrey about thirty-nine years; two other children by that wife were married at that time (1830) and had moved away, their names not given. In 1830, Elisa Potter, aged thirteen or fourteen years lived at his house; he had "raised" her, no relationship to the family shown.
This soldier did not state the date of his first marriage, nor the date of death of that wife, nor did he give the name of another wife or date of another marriage. In 1830, when he submitted a schedule of his property, as required by the pension law, he furnished a copy of a deed dated 1787, in Carolina County, Virginia, regarding
I copied this as there was no way to show his first wife or name - or that of her father & her sister

his first wife, which reads as follows-"Know all men by these presents that I, John Collins of the County of Carolina for the natural love and affection which I have and do bear to my four daughters viz-Nancy Sacra, Elizabeth Wright, Frances Henderson and Lucy Wilson and more especially for and in consideration of the sum of ten pounds to me in hand paid by each of my said daughters, the receipt whereof I do hereby acknowledge have granted bargained and sold unto Nancy Sacra one negro girl named Milley, to Elizabeth Wright one negro girl named Rachel, to Frances Henderson one negro boy named Garbriel and to Lucy Wilson one negro boy named Charles and do hereby warrant the said negroes to my said daughters, their heirs etc. ---
13 day of Sept. 1787.      Signed John Collins. "

BA-J/ILL James Sacrey S. 35643 John Wyatt S. 16303
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letters in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Patrick Flinn of Sudbury, Massachusetts, also, the records of James Sacra or Sacrey who was pensioned in Shelby County, Kentucky, John Wyatt who was born in June 1748 and died in Indiana, and a soldier with the surname Cartmelt or Cartmell of Virginia who moved to Anderson Township, Hamilton County, Ohio.
A search of the Revolutionary War records of this office has been made and no claim for pension or bounty land found based upon service of a Patrick Flinn, nor of a soldier with the surname Cartmell, variously spelled, who resided in Ohio. If you will furnish full name of the particular soldier with that surname in whom you are interested, a further search of the records will be made.
The records of James Sacrey, pension claim-S. 35643 and John Wyatt, pension claim-S. 16303, are furnished you herewith.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.

My dear Mr. Miller;
Will you please send me the Revolutionary War record of Patrick Flinn of Sudbury Mass. He served under Captain Wheeler's Company Col. Ezehiel How's Fourth Middlesex Company.
Any information concerning the above ancestor will be greatly appreciated.
Yours truly,

Vetrans Administration, Washington D.C.,
My dear Mr. Miller;
Will you please search the Revolutionary war records for the war record of James Sacra or Sacrey who served in Virginia and who later came to Kentucky where his pension began in 1830. I believe the pension application was made at Christenburg, Shelby County Virginia.
Also, will you please search the records for the name John Wyatt , also of Virginia? My records show three generations of John Wyatt. First Captain John Wyatt, born 1683, died 1765, married Elizabeth, last name unknown. Their son John Wyatt was born June 14, 1720, died , date unknown. Married Martha last name unknown. Their son was named John also, born June 1748, died in Indiana married Susanna Summitt, born 1750, died 1823. Any information you may be able to give me pertaining to the above generations will be greatly appreciated.
I am also searching for the record of the Cartmell or Cartmell , of Virginia. My ancestor was in the Revolution, or was according to tradition, and he came to Anderson Township, Hamilton County Ohio. He was married to Mary Anderson. The records of that county were burned in about 1840 and they have very little to offer.
I am most interested in completing the above mentioned families and I hope you may be able to help me. Thanking you for any information you may be able to give to me, I am,
Sincerely,
Mrs. Harold Lingenfelter, 4843 Chicago Ave., Minneapolis, Minnesota.
