Please furnish me your record of Lieutenant James Campbell, a Virginia officer in the army of the American Revolution. I understand he was on an Invalid Pension Roll of the United States of 1825 or 1835. He was wounded in an engagement near Piscataway in the Jerseys on March 1, 1777, while serving under the command of Colonel Thruston.
I would also like the war record of Ensign Nathaniel Dryden, an officer in the Virginia Militia and who was killed at the Battle of Kings Mountain, South Carolina, October 7, 1780, while serving under the command of Colonel William Campbell.
I would like these records in duplicate, and if you have not the full records in your office I would appreciate very much if you would advise me what office to direct my inquiry.
I want to secure the records of these two officers in connection with an application for membership in a society of the American Revolution.
Respectfully,
J. L. Horton

This office has no further information in regard to James Campbell, than was furnished you in report of November 12, 1931. As explained in that report, the papers in his application for pension were destroyed by fire in 1800.
The record of John Patton (S.8931) is furnished you herewith. This is the record of the one cited by you as the pensioner.
Very truly yours

Mr. L. P. Summers Abingdon Virginia
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your request for information relative to James Campbell who served in the Revolutionary War as lieutenant from Virginia.
In the report of the Secretary of War printed in 1835 in relation to the pension establishment of the United States, on the list of invalid pensioners residing in Berkeley County, Virginia, appears the name of James Campbell who was a lieutenant of Virginia volunteers and was pensioned from January 1, 1786, under the Act of June 7, 1785.
There are no further data on file relative to said pensioner and no data relative to his family, because of the destruction of papers in the claim when the War Office was burned in 1800, and for this reason it is impossible to furnish photostatic copies.
Very truly yours
