Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to several soldiers with surname West, who served in the Revolutionary War and War of 1812, and to Joab Reed, of Fairfax County, Virginia, who died in Ohio.
Revolutionary and War of 1812 data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension based upon military service of soldiers in those wars.
A careful search of the Revolutionary War records has been made in your behalf and no records found of such claims having been made to the United States based upon the services of George, John, Thomas or William West, as described by you, and the War of 1812 records do not show that a claim for pension was ever made on account of the services of a William West, as described by you, in that war.
It is suggested that as a possible means of obtaining the record of the military service of soldiers of those wars, you apply to The Adjutant General, War Department, this city.
The record of a Joab Reid, who served from Fairfax County, Virginia, has been found and is furnished you herewith, the data for which were obtained from his claim for pension, S.4057, based upon his military service in the Revolutionary War.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Assistant to Administrator.
