L. P. Waldo Com r of Pensions,
Dear Sir
I
write you to request that you would send me the list of claims furnished by the Auditor of the State of Virginia under the act of 5 th July 7 th 1832 entitled "An act to provide for liquidating and paying certain claims of the State of Virginia".
My object is to ascertain, if possible, something in relation to a claim of the heirs of Johnathan Pugh, one of whose sons is in indigent circumstances, and a resident of this place. The said Johnathan Pugh

is represented to have been a Captain of a Company of Spies and that he served in that capacity till the close of the war. His residence was in Hampshire County Virginia, and I am inclined to think he may have belonged to the Virginia State Line.
If you can without trouble let me know whether his claim has ever been adjusted, I shall be under obligations to you.
Yours Very Respectfully, Robert Beers. Atty at Law. Ashland T.

Gentlemen: - I am trying to get some data on some of my ancestors for the D. A. R. and I have been advised to write to your department. What information can you give me of a Jonathan Pugh his son Jesse Pugh , I think served in First Company of Artillery, Philadelphia City, in the war of 1812. If I could clear up the matter if this Jesse Pugh was this Jonathan Pugh's son I think the line could be cleared up from there on. Now whatever the expense is connected with this if you

will just let me know, I will certainly be glad to send the amount.
Very truly yours,
Mrs. Ernest A. Rowland.
Before marriage —
Beryl Russell Pugh.
P.S. I think this Jonathan Pugh enlisted from Winchester Va.

Rev. and 1812 Wars Section R.17239 MCS/eel

Mrs. Ernest A. Rowland Lodi Ohio
Madam:
I advise you that the Revolutionary War records of this bureau show that Robert Bees, of Ashland, Ohio, stated in a letter to this bureau, dated April 7, 1855, that one of the heirs of Jonathan Pugh was then living in Ashland, Ohio, but he did not give the name.
He also stated that Jonathan Pugh was represented to have been a captain of a company of spies, that he served in that capacity until the close of the Revolutionary War, and was a resident of Hampshire County, Virginia.
There are no further data in the Revolutionary War records relative to said Jonathan Pugh and his family.
The War of 1812 records of this bureau fail to afford any information relative to pension having been claimed or bounty land having been granted on account of the services of a Jesse Pugh, who served from Pennsylvania.
Respectfully,
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.
Statement was ambiguous as to whether son referred to was son of Pugh or the son of one of his heirs as I omitted reference to son.
