Madam:
In reply to your letter of the 1" instant, you are advised that from the records of this Bureau it appears that Elijah Kidwell served as a Private in Captain William Temple Cole's Company, Colonel Thomas Polk's Regiment of North Carolina Troops during the War of the Revolution and that he was pensioned for disability from March 4, 1789. He was a resident of Rutherford County, North Carolina in 1822 and he died November 19, 1831.
The nature of his disability is not stated. There is no further data on file as to his services and no data at all as to his family.
Very respectfully,
J. M. [Signature]
Commissioner.

Dear Sir :
Will you please send me the military record of Elijah Kidwell who served as private in the "Army of the Revolution" and who received a pension beginning Mar. 4th., 1789 until Nov. 19th., 1831, when he died -
He enlisted, I believe in the no - Maryland troops, but I found his name on the pension rolls of Rutherford Co., N.Car.
Also, the military record of James Kidwell, negative private, Maryland troops - "Enrolled by Lieut. William Duvall, passed the 18th. of July 1776, by John Addison, Lieut. Col. of the Lower Battalion."
Any other information pertaining to the families of these soldiers which you may have on file, will be appreciated.
Very truly yours,
(Mrs.) L. Stockley. 1051 Columbia Ave., Chicago, Ills.
