MRS. J. T. MC GILL VANDERBILT CAMPUS NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
April 2, 1930.
Pension Commissioner, Washington, D.C.-
Dear Sir,
I should like to have a copy of the pension papers of John McGaughey of Bedford County Penna.
The Historical Society of Penna. has this record of him:
"Penna Archives 2 nd series Penna line Vol 2 page 789. John McGaughey Corporal *March 1806 in list of pen- sioners in the Penna list

MRS. J. T. MCGILL VANDERBILT CAMPUS NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
Taken from the Pension books of the U. S. with *date paid."
I wrote your department many years ago (May 1909) asking if the name John McGaughey was on your records & I received a neg- ative reply. However, I have the reference quoted & the Penna. Historical Society referred me to your office for the copy de- sired.
I will be glad to pay for the expense of making the copy.
Very truly Yours,
Mrs. J. T. McGill.

Mrs. J. T. Mc Gill Vanderbilt University Nashville Tennessee.
Dear Madam:
I advise you that in the report of the Secretary of War in relation to the pension establishment of the United States printed in 1835, the name John Mc Gaughey appears on a list of Invalid Pensioners who have been in receipt of pensions at the agency of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and whose residence could not be ascertained in consequence of the destruction of the papers when the War Office was burned in 1800 and 1814.
Said list shows that he was a corporal in the Revolutionary Army and was pensioned under the Act of June 7, 1785.
There are no further data relative to this man, due to the burning of papers as described above.
Very truly yours,
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.
