Dear Sir;
Have you any record of Nathan Rawlings who married Mary Rankin having received a pension if so what state did he serve the revolution in? Does it tell when and where he was born? He was my Great Grandfather and I am interested in trying to get into the D.A.R.

May I hear from you soon in regard to this. Has.
Very kindly Cora Carr Kirkwood Laurens ville, Box 693 Ill.

Commissioner of Pensions, (Revolutionary War Records) Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
You have in your files an affidavit of one Benjamin Scott Rawlings of Knox County, Indiana, setting forth that his father, Nathan Rawlings, was a Revolutionary War pensioner. Will you kindly give me official evidence of that fact. Nathan Rawlings was paid a pension by the Pennsylvania Agency.
Very truly yours,

Cora Carr Kirkwood, Box 693, Lawrenceville, Illinois.
Method:
In response to your letter dated the 36" ultimo, you are advised that the records of this Bureau show that the name of Nathan Rawlings is borne on the roll of pensioners paid at the Pennsylvania Agency, at $10. per month, as a Captain in the Revolutionary War.
The only paper on file relating thereto, is an affidavit stating that the officer's pension certificate was lost, viz:
State of Indiana ) ) ss    On this 19 th day of July 1832,***** Knox County.        ) appeared Benjamin Scott Rawlings administrator of his father Nathan Rawlings deceased, of the County of Lawrence and State of Illinois, who on his oath declares that his father ***** is the identical Nathan Rawlings to whom a pension certificate was forwarded, which certificate cannot now be found.
It appears that a formal certificate for $10. per month was issued September 29, 1836, on the Pennsylvania Agency. There are no names of officers,

or particulars of service stated, nor is there any further family data on file.
Very respectfully,
E. C. Sieman
Acting Commissioner.
