BA-J/ILL Frederick Thompson W. 11618 aw
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letters in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Thomas Camp who served from North or South Carolina, and Frederick Thompson whose service you cannot verify.
A search of the Revolutionary War records has been made and there is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon service of a Thomas Camp who served from either North or South Carolina. The record of only one soldier named Frederick Thompson has been found; his record is given herein as found in the papers on file in pension claim, W. 11618, based upon service in the Revolutionary War.
Frederick Thompson was born September 16, 1763, in Brunswick County, Virginia, names of his parents not shown.
While a resident of Surry County, North Carolina, he enlisted and served three tours as private in the North Carolina troops as follows: from June 1, 1780, three months in Captain William Meredith's company, Colonel Martin Armstrong's regiment, during which he was in the battle of Gates Defeat; from November 8, 1780, three months in Captain Benjamin Humphries' Col. Col. Joseph Philips' regiment, stationed at Salisbury, North Carolina; and from August 8, 1781, three months in Captain David Humphries' company, Colonel James Martin's regiment, during which he was engaged in skirmishes in North Carolina.
The soldier moved in 1800 from Surry County, North Carolina, to Jackson County, Georgia; he lived also in Walton County, in that State.
He was allowed pension on his application executed July 1, 1833,

at which time he resided in Walton County, Georgia.
Frederick Thompson died April 24, 1842, at his home in Walton County, Georgia.
The soldier married April 4, 1825, in Walton County, Georgia, Frances Mitchell.
Frances Thompson, the soldier's widow, was allowed pension on her application executed May 14, 1855, at which time she resided in Fulton, County, Georgia. She was then seventy-three years of age, the date and place of her birth and names of her parents not shown.
In 1855, Andrew B. Mitchell, a resident of Fulton County, Georgia, stated that he had been acquainted with the soldier, Frederick Thompson, for thirty-seven years prior to his death, and was present at his death, but he did not state any relationship to the family.
There are no further family data in this pension claim.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Assistant to Administrator.

Sir.
In reply to your letter of the 6 th instant, I have to state that Frederick Thompson, late of North Carolina, was allowed a pension, under act of June 7, 1832 at rate of $30 per annum, for 9 months service - which was all he claimed - being for three terms of 3 months each. The Certificate referred to, which it is thought by you indicates a greater length of service states only two of the payments paid to have been in specie. There is no ground for increase of allowance either in the case of the soldier or his widow.
Very respectfully

As additional evidence in support of her claim No. 142,882 for land under act of 1855, showing payments to Frederick Thompson of $45.13.6. for it is believed, more than nine months service admitted upon settlement of her claim, for a pension.

Atlanta, Ga., May 30th, 1855.
Dear Sir:
I have in hand the certificate of Mrs. Frances Thompson, Widow of Frederick Thompson, Pensioner in Revolutionary War) for "thirty" dollars, under act July 3rd, 1853 - dated 26th May, 1855.
"Recorded in the Pension Office on the Roll of Pensions under act February 3rd, 1853, Page 155-, Vol. A."
Frederick you will see received a larger Pension $100. per annum, perhaps, or more. His Widow is very much dissatisfied, & before taking any steps at Law, I desire to call your immediate, special attention to the case, and

If the back Pension be allowed by you due to her, of course it will supersede any Petition to Court of Claims. Yours Very truly, Marcus A. Bell.
If allowed please give me full instructions as to what papers will be necessary - or send me forms.
I think he (at least) was entitled from W.H. March, 1848. I hope you will look into the claim immediately, & inform me if you can allow it.
