Dear Sir
I have again carefully searched for the evidence requested by you in the case of William McCall, and am sorry to say that I have had no better luck than heretofore. I think it highly probable that the evidence was lost when the Loan Office (John Craven's  Craven's ) was burned about 30 years ago
Very respectfully Yours &c Wm. J. Clarke, Compt r .
I think I have heretofore informed you that Wm. McCall appeared as "Corpl. Comd t Gen'l. Gastes", Book I., but that no payments could be found made to him. It may be that the name is confounded with that of Wm. McCoy, but I have no evidence of it and can't say how it was.

Washington City March 15 th 1852.
Sir:
On the 1 st Dec r last, I filed evidence in support of the claim of Elizabeth M c Call claiming a Revolutionary Pension in right of her husband's services; and on the 19 th Jan y last, additional testimony in that case. Herewith I enclose to you further proof, being the affidavit of M m Stewart, showing the marriage of M m M c Call to Elizabeth Stewart in Feb y . 1778, and of said William M c Call's service in the Revolutionary War.
As this case has been for some time on hand, I should like, and request, your early attention to it.

Hon. L. P. Waldo. Com. of Pensions.
Dr. Sir,
I hope you will have the kindness to examine the claim of Elizabeth McCall, widow of Mr. McCall. You will observe that the affidavit of Old Mr. Stewart proves that Mr. McCall served two or three terms, but he does not state that he served with him, which I know from the to the matter traditionary history of this county at the time, and the old man would have stated it, in so many words, if it had been required or perhaps he did state it, and the person who drew the affidavit neglected to write it down. The old man Stewart could see this matter right before you, but you will see from the enclosed letter that his mind is so far gone that he is unable to recollect any thing so as to be relied upon and in part it would be very wrong to rely upon him to serve as an affidavit now.
I also enclose to you a letter just rec d from our Compt.

Wherein he states that W m McK e Call, now does appear on his books as a Corp t . but no payments could be found made to him. The pay roll upon which his name was might have been destroyed as stated by the Comptroller, —
This old lady W m McK e Call is now about 96 years old, and her husband could not have sustained the reputation he did all his life as a Soldier of the Revolution unless he had performed the service —
But W m Stuart served with W m McK e Call in the Revolution and above this I am informed there is no doubt unfortunately however he neglected to state it in his affidavit —
I hope sir you will give to this case that liberal construction it merits —

I herewith enclose you two letters from William F. Davidson, Esq., one of my constituents, and a gentleman of character, and standing in the community in which he lives, together with a letter to him from the Comptroller of our State in relation to one of the claims.-
The letter of the Comptroller is not very formal, but I know his handwriting, and know it to be genuine.-
I hope Mr. Davidson's claims will meet with that prompt attention, which I have always found in all the business I have had with your Bureau, and that the evidence he has furnished may

be sufficient for the objects, and purposes intended. -
I have also received a letter from a Mr. White in relation to one of the claims - that of his father - and believe he is entitled to the Pension asked for. -

Sir
In reply to your letter of the 24th. ult. which has just come to hand respecting the husband of Elizabeth M c Call (Wm. M c Call I suppose for you do not name him) I have simply to reiterate what I have written again and again that I have very carefully examined the records of this office for evidence of said William M c Call's services in the Revolutionary War, without being able to find any.
The regular business of this office occupies all my time and tho' I employ a clerk out of my own pocket I find it impossible to reply to the showers of letters that pour in upon me relative to these Revolutionary claims. I am forced to work every night when my health and strength will admit and write this by candle light. This I deem sufficient answer to the querulous part of your letter and will only add, that I have had no little trouble and no pay so far as I recollect in the M c Call case and hope to hear no more about it.

Before the undersigned clerk of the Circuit Court in and for said County, this day personally appeared William Stewart aged 89 who being by me first duly sworn according to law, on his oath deposes and says, that sometime in the month of February in the year 1778 William McCall was married to Elizabeth Stewart, in the house of her Father, Capt Matthew Stewart, that the said Marriage was solemnized by the Reverend Thomas McCall a Presbyterian Clergyman, that the said marriage took place in Mecklenburg County in the State of North Carolina, that Deponent was present and witnessed the solemnization thereof,
Deponent further states on oath that he was personally acquainted with said William McCall, and knows that he served three tours in the Revolutionary war. The first tour he was drafted for the term of six or nine months deponent does not recollect which, that he, McCall, for said tour hired a substitute by the name of Richard Trumble, deponent does not recollect whether McCall served personally any of this tour, but does know he furnished a substitute Deponent does not recollect the number of the Regiment or the name of the officers commanding it, but it was what was known as the Wilmington or Newberg expedition, that said McCall at that time resided in Mecklenburg County in North Carolina, The second tour was under Capt Matthew Stewart for a part of the time and until the said Capt resigned, and then under Capt Thomas Shelby as his successor, that he the said McCall volunteered in this tour sometime in the summer of 1780 that to the best of Deponents recollection this tour was for the term of six months

That this Company was under the control of General Davidson - The third tour he was drafted or volunteered about the time Lord Cornwallis was in pursuit General Morgan through the State of North Carolina, that is to say about about the month of January 1781. That he does not recollect the names of Officers commanding, that the tour was one of great excitement, and hurry, and every man that could go went and McCall returned from this service, to his home in the County of Mecklenburg North Carolina sometime in the month of March or April 1781 that the two last services mentioned above were performed on horse back
Deponent further states that he took papers belonging to the said McCall to the Auditor's office, and delivered them to a man by the name of Nelson a commissioner to ascertain the amount due the soldiers for services in the war, and deponent thinks that it is more than probable that among those papers McCall's discharges was taken and that there may be still some account or information respecting said services found in said Auditor's office of the State of North Carolina
