Mrs. W.B. Coward Rocky Mount North Carolina
Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R.8644, it appears that Stephen Redman or Redmon was born in October, 1762 or 1763, in the State of Virginia.
He applied for pension June 10, 1844, while a resident of Macon County, North Carolina, and stated that while residing in the State of North Carolina, he served six months as a "drafted soldier" under Captain Jacob Tipton and Major Mathew Ray, marched to Kentucky, then to Fort Recovery, and was in the battle of St.Clair's Defeat.
His claim was not allowed as he did not furnish proof of service as required by the pension law.
The above noted Stephen Redman (no Stephen Morgan Redmond) is the only soldier of that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau, all spellings of the surname searched.
Respectfully,
E. W. MORGAN Acting Commissioner.

The proceedings before the Magistrate sh d be submitted to and approved by a Court of Record duly organized and acting as such, under seal.

The papers in the case of Stephen Redman claiming a pension under the Act of June 7 th 39 have been examined and filed. The certificates of the Secy and Comptroller of N Carolina should be produced in confirmation of the alleged service. The delay in asserting the above claims is calculated to produce distrust in them and renders it the duty of the Department to be particular in requiring the best evidence of their justice. The admissibility of the claimants must be clearly proved.
