Sir
A. M. Denny Olen (or Denny Oller) who has been for some years residing in Dark County State of Ohio, and while there had applied for a Pension on Account of Military Services rendered the Colony of Virginia in 1774 against the Indians, he is now in the upper part of this County which part was formerly in Buckingham County, from whence he was called to fight against the Indians under Capt. Nault (or Nall); he states that he will be 100 years of age on the 1st day of Feby 1840. and that he last applied for a Pension within the last 2 years from Dark County State of Ohio, and states from some cause he has not succeeded; His bounty money he drew since the War of the Revolution, but had not recd. his back pay, he says he furnished a man in his place during the Revolution when called, as he was seriously ill when called for, and the Capt. would not take him: I am not aware of any provision made for his care against the Indians before the Revolution; shd he pleased to be informed if his previous application has made any progress, and whether or not, he is entitled to a Pension, or Compensation for such Services. if he can establish he was in the Indian War in 1774 - He is known here to one of the Revolutionary Soldiers & can establish such Service if it will avail him any thing. Shall await a reply in his behalf, with some anxiety.
Respectfully yours. J. M. McPHERSON
