Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the records of Samuel McKee, a soldier of the Revolutionary War and Hugh Robinson, a soldier of the War of 1812.
A very careful examination of their claims for pension has been made in your behalf and the following data found.
Samuel McKee S.41853
The data furnished herein are obtained from the papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim, S.41853, based upon the military service of Samuel McKee in that war.
The date and place of birth of Samuel McKee are not stated.
He enlisted in the state of Pennsylvania, in November or December, 1775, served as a private in Captain James Wilson's Company, Colonel Irvine's 6 th Pennsylvania Regiment, was in the battle of Three Rivers in Canada and was discharged at Ticonderoga, February 16, 1777.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 25, 1818, at which time he was a resident of Franklin County, Ohio, and then stated that he was aged fifty-eight years.

It appears from the records of this office that Hugh Robinson served as a private in Captain Montgomery's Company, 14 th Regiment United States Infantry and was discharged at Plattsburg, New York, March 30, 1814, because he was unable to perform the duties of a soldier by reason of old age and infirmities occasioned by hardships in the service. The date of his enlistment and his place of residence at that time are not stated.
He was allowed pension from March 31, 1814, on account of disability resulting from the above noted causes, at which time he was a resident of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. His age is not given.
He was also allowed bounty land in full satisfaction for the service rendered. In order to obtain the location of the land, you should address the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, citing the following data-Warrant No.7006-160-12.
In 1814, the soldier had two sons then in the service. Their names and the name of their mother are not stated and there are no further data as to his family.
