THOMAS TODD S. 17736 BA-J/MLB
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the record of Thomas Todd who, you state, served in the Revolution from North Carolina, died in September, 1777, while serving in Captain McClauhan's company in the North Carolina troops, and his will was filed in Rowan County, that state, most of his descendants moving to Kentucky shortly after his death.
A careful search of the Revolutionary War records of this office has been made and no claim for pension or bounty land found based upon service in the Revolution of a Thomas Todd identical with your description, however, the record was found of a soldier of that name who served in the Revolutionary War from North Carolina and later moved to Kentucky, which might prove of interest to you in your research. That record of Thomas Todd follows as found in pension claim, S. 17736, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
Thomas Todd was born June 3, 1760, near Easton, Pennsylvania. The names of his parents are not shown.
While residing in Rowan County, North Carolina, with his father, Thomas Todd volunteered June 3, 1777, and served as private in Captains David Cowan's and John Armstrong's company, Colonel Dixon's North Carolina regiment, length of tour fourteen months seven days. He was in the battle of Stone, other details of that service not given. He volunteered in 1781 as a substitute for his brother, Benjamin Todd, and served two months as private in Captain James Craig's company of light-horse, under Colonel Davie in the North Carolina troops.
The soldier moved about 1797 from Rowan County, North Carolina, to Madison County, Kentucky, where he was residing when pension was allowed on his application executed August 13, 1832.

Thomas Todd moved about 1839 from Madison County, Kentucky, to Lawrence County, Indiana, to live with his children there. The names of his children and of his wife were not stated in the claim.
In addition to Benjamin Todd, the brother for whom Thomas Todd served as a substitute, reference was made to other brothers, namely:
Peter Todd, who was born in June, 1756, in Pennsylvania; during the Revolution lived in Rowan Co., N. C., and in 1832 resided in Madison County, Kentucky.
William " who in 1832 was aged sixty-seven years; during the Revolution lived with his father in Rowan Co., N.C., and later moved to Madison County, Kentucky.
Reference was made in the claim to two brothers-in-law of Thomas Todd, both of whom served in the Revolutionary War, but their names were not given.
In order to obtain date of last payment of pension, the name and address of the person paid and possibly the date of death of Thomas Todd, you should write to the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data:
Thomas Todd Certificate #3061 Issued March 9, 1833 Rate $35 per annum Commenced March 4, 1831 Act June 7, 1832 Kentucky Agency, and transferred to Indiana Agency.

May I ask that you will give me a copy of the statement made by THOMAS TODD, of Madison County, Kentucky, when he made application for a pension under the Act of 1832.
The data we have of him in the Report of the Secretary of War- 1835- page 117- Kentucky Pensioners, is as follows:
"Thomas Todd-Private of inf.&cav. N.C.militia- aged 74".
We wish any reference he may have made to his service during the Revolution, or to his former home or his family, especially the name of his wife.

Messrs:- Do you find the name of Thomas Todd on the list of soldiers of the Revolution who received pensions? He probably enlisted from North Carolina. He died in Indiana April 5, 1843. If you find his name, please send a certificate to that effect.
I want the same information concerning John Wyckoff (the spelling varies greatly) who enlisted from New Jersey. He lived in the vicinity of Harlingen and Neshanic, some of his children being baptized in one church and some in the other. Our records show that he lived in Hunterdon County and he probably enlisted from that county although it is barely possible that he might have enlisted from Somerset county.

Rev Sir
Inclosed are the papers applying for the transfer of Thomas Todd from the pension roll of the State of Kentucky to that of Indiana—
There is a considerable amount of his pension in arrear which, if conven- ient to the department, he would be glad to draw at the place of payment which you may be pleas- ed to designate in this State for him to draw in future— If this can be so arranged you will greatly oblige him by making that pro- vision in the desired transfer— And an early attention to this application will also be a great accommodation to him—
I am Sir very respectfully
