Dear Sir:-
Could you give me any information regarding the pension record of Josias Payne of Goochland County for services during the Revolutionary War?
He was the son of George Payne + Mary Woodson Payne of Goochland County. Born Oct. 30, 1705 and died in Pittsylvania County in 1785. He married Ann Fleming.
One historical record gives him the title of Major but I can find no proof for this. He was a member of House of Burgess.
Thanking you for your trouble,
Yours Truly,
Lucile C. Kessler -
(Mrs. John Kessler)

With the data furnished by you, no positive identification could be made of records for either soldier described by you. Only one record has been found for William Welborn and Josias Payne, both of whom served from Virginia, and their records are furnished you herewith.
Very truly yours

Dear Madam:
The records of this office show that Josias Payne served as Ensign in the Virginia troops, War of the Revolution. It is not shown that he served at any time as Lieutenant.
Warrant No. 1747, for one hundred fifty acres of bounty land was issued March 26, 1792, to Francis Graves, assignee of William Payne, administrator of Josias Payne, on account of his service as Ensign in the Virginia troops, War of the Revolution. The relationship of William Payne to Josias Payne not designated.
This office has no record of statements made in the application for bounty land, because of the destruction of papers in such early applications when the War Office was burned in 1800, therefore, no further data relative to Josias Payne.
If you desire information in regard to location of the land referred to above, you should apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, and furnish that official the number of the warrant, the acreage and date of issuance.
Very truly yours

Madam:
I have to advise you, that the records of this Bureau show that Warrant No. 1747, for 150 acres of bounty land was issued March 26, 1792, to Francis Graves, assignee of William Payne, administrator of Josias Payne, on account of the services of said Josias Payne as an Ensign in the Virginia Troops, War of the Revolution. There is no further information on file as to said soldier, owing to the destruction of papers in said claim, when the War Office was burned in 1800.
The records of this Bureau fail to afford any information in regard to William Payne, War of Revolution and James Payne, Wars of Revolution and 1812, as described by you.
Respectfully,
Acting Commissioner.

Rev. War Section.

Mrs. Warren F. Drescher, 1008 Center Street, Hannibal, Missouri.
Madam:
In response to your letter dated the twentieth instant you are advised that this Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made on account of his services, and the Revolutionary War records fail to show such a claim for Jesse Payne (Panne), of Virginia, or for George Payne who was married prior to 1772.
The records of this Bureau show that a Warrant numbered 1747, for 150 acres of bounty land was issued March 26, 1792 to Francis Graves, assignee of William Payne administrator of Josias Payne on account of the services of the said Josias Payne as an Ensign of the Virginia troops in the Revolution. There is no further information as there are no papers on file, the same having been destroyed in the burning of the War Office. ms 1820 add this date in future
For the location of said land, apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Washington, D. C., giving him all of the data in the above paragraph.
Very respectfully,
M. S. [signature] Commissioner.

Note
Heilman's Historical Register states that this Josias was also called Joseph and there is a pension claim for Joseph Payne, Censign. Va. Line, who died Apr. 5, 1826.
So it could not be this Josias who had an administrator in 1792.
Joseph Payne, Va. Line, died Apr. 5, 1826.
