The pension claim of said David McDorman was adjudicated in the Treasury Department therefore there are no papers on file in this Bureau relative to the claim.

Honorable S. O. Bland House of Representatives
My dear Mr. Bland:
In response to your letter of the third instant, I have the honor to advise you that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford any information in regard to a DAVID MEDERMAN.
There is a typographical error in the citation, "David Mederman of Spottsylwania County, Virginia, pensioned 1835, pension 215", which is quoted from H. J. Ekenrode's book of Revolutionary soldiers, for the name of the soldier should be written David McDorman instead David Mederman.
Said David McDorman served as a private in the Virginia Line during the War of the Revolution and while a resident of Spottsylwania County, Virginia, he was allowed pension on certificate #951, dated October 14, 1829, rate $80 per annum, commenced January 29, 1829, Richmond, Virginia Agency, under the Act of May 15, 1828.
The claims under said act were adjudicated in the Treasury Department and there are no papers on file in this Bureau relative to David McDorman.
Very truly yours,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner
