BA-J/MCS Thomas Carr, R.12966
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter of March 11, 1940, requesting information relative to Thomas Carr who served in Captain Ford's Company of Tennessee Militia during the Revolutionary War and whose wife's name was Ann.
The data which follow were taken from papers on file in the pension claim, R.12966, based on the military service of the only Thomas Carr who lived in a southern state, that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
The date and place of birth of Thomas Carr and the names of his parents are not shown.
Thomas Carr married in Berkeley County, Virginia, in 1786 or April 11, 1787, Ann or Anna Gates.
He died in Hanover Township, Butler County, Ohio, in 1836, or about March 19, 1837 or 1838, or March 11, 1838, and was buried at Ebenezer Church in Hanover Township.
Thomas Carr's widow, Anna Carr, applied for bounty land May 17, 1855, on account of his military service and at this time she was living in Butler County, Ohio, and gave her age as eighty-seven years. It was alleged that Thomas Carr enlisted at Newtown, Berkeley County, Virginia, in October, 1781, served as private in Captain Robert Jackson's Virginia Company, marched towards Yorktown but before reaching there he heard the news of the surrender of Cornwallis and was dismissed, having served about three weeks. Thomas Carr

served in Captain Ford's Company from April 3, 1791, until November 4, 1791. His widow stated that he enlisted at Sinking Creek, Washington County, Tennessee, in 1791.
Because of the service of Thomas Carr in 1791, Anna Carr received Warrant #92652 for 160 acres of bounty land under the Act of March 3, 1855.
For information relative to the location of this land, it is suggested that you address The Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, giving the warrant number, the acreage and the act under which the warrant was issued.
Anna Carr applied for pension August 14, 1860, on account of the Revolutionary War service of Thomas Carr and at this time she was living in Butler County, Ohio, and then stated she was ninety-four years of age. Her claim was not allowed as the pension law required that the soldier render at least six months military service during the Revolution.
It was stated that Thomas and Anna Carr reared a large family but the only name given it that of a son, Samuel, who was fifty-three years of age in 1860 and was then living in Butler County, Ohio, and stated that he was their seventh son.
Said Samuel Carr stated in 1860 that he had two uncles, James and John Carr, of Virginia who served in the Revolutionary War.
One Martha Jane Carr was living in Butler County, Ohio, in 1860, and one William Carr was living in that year but their relationship to the soldier is not shown.
There are no further family data.

Pension Office, Sept. 27 th 1860.
Sir:
The application of Mrs Ann Carr, widow of Thomas Carr deceased for a pension has been received & filed under the Act of July 7. 1838. as she was married previous to 1794. - A copy of that Act, with form & instructions, is herewith enclosed for your future guidance in the case if you shall deem it necessary to promulgate it.
No evidence of the service of her husband in the Revolution accompanying her application, & in her declaration for bounty land she states that the Company in which her husband served received on their march near the surrender at York Town & returned home & were discharged; - and this was all the service in that war which she claimed. Six months' service is the minimum length which entitles one to a pension, & if other terms

cannot be shown, her claim is without foundation.
Her warrant for bounty land was issued upon service in Wayne's War - subsequent to the revolution. —

In response to your letter dated the tenth instant, I have the honor to advise you that in the papers in the claim R. File No. 12966 Rev. War, it is stated that Thomas Carr enlisted in 1781, under Pvt Captain Robert Jackson in the Virginia troops; married about 1786, Anna **** in Berkeley County, Virginia, and he died in 1836.
Anna Carr applied for pension August 14, 1860, while ninety-four years of age and a resident of Butler County, Ohio, but her claim was never allowed for the reason that she failed to furnish proof that her husband served six months, as required by the pension law.
The above is the only Thomas Carr of Virginia found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.

at Newtown Berkeley Co. Va. I advise you from the records of this bureau it appears that Thomas Carr enlisted in October, 1781, and served as a private in Captain Robert Jackson's Virginia Company, marched towards Yorktown, heard the news of the surrender of Cornwallis and was dismissed having been out about three weeks.
He also served in Captain Ford's Company in General Wayne's War from April 3, 1791, to November 4, 1791.
He died in 1836 or 1837 or 1838, in Hanover Township, Butler County, Ohio.
The soldier married in 1786 or 1787, in Berkeley County, Virginia, Ann Gates.
She applied for pension on account of her husband's service in the War of the Revolution but the claim was not allowed as he did not serve six months in that war.
She was allowed one hundred and sixty acres of bounty

land on Warrant No. 92652, on account of his services in General Wayne's War, on her application executed May 17, 1855, at which time she was living in Butler County, Ohio, aged eighty-seven years.
It is stated that they raised a large family of children; Samuel, who was aged fifty-three years in 1860, and living in Butler County, Ohio, stated that he was their seventh son; the names of their other children not given.
