BA-J/ILL John Bartley S. 39949
Dear Madam:
The data which follow are found in pension claim, S. 39949, based upon service of John Bartley in the Revolutionary War.
John Bartley lived a few miles from Winchester, Frederick County, Virginia, at the time of the Revolutionary War.
He enlisted there sometime in 1776, served as a private in Captain Peter Bryant Bruin's company, Colonel Daniel Morgan's 11th Virginia regiment, was in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth, later went south, was in the battle of Eutaw Springs, and was discharged at Savannah, Georgia, when peace was declared.
The soldier returned to Virginia, and settled on Back Creek.
John Bartley was allowed pension on his application executed April 19, 1819, at which time he resided in Greene County, Pennsylvania. He stated then that he was "seventy-three years of age, some time in the month of August next"; however, on September 18, 1820, he stated "I am seventy-one years of age in August last". The place of his birth and the names of his parents are not shown.
He died January 18, 1826.
John Bartley had a wife and children at the time he entered service in the Revolutionary War; his wife died during his absence, her name and the names of their children not shown.
In 1819, William Bartley of Greene County, Pennsylvania, stated that he was present when John Bartley left his home near Winchester to

serve in the war, and that his (William's) mother, uncle and some relatives went a part of the way with John, also, that he remembered when he returned "to his children"; said William Bartley did not state any relationship to John Bartley.
There are no further data in regard to the family of John Bartley.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.

BA-J/ILL John Bartley S. 39949 John Berkley - letter - S. 12990
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of John Berkley, who served in Captain Thomas Gaskins' Virginia company and died January 10, 1777, John Berkley, Westmoreland County, Virginia, who served in Captain William Nelson's Virginia company, John Bartly (Barkeley, etc.) who served in Captain Peter Bryan Bruin's company, 11th Virginia regiment, and Scarlett Berkley who served from Virginia and died 1800-08.
There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file which was made to the United States based upon service of the John Berkley of Virginia who died January 10, 1777, nor of any Scarlett Berkley, under any spelling of the surnames. The records have been found of two soldiers of Virginia, John Bartley and John Berkley; their records are furnished you herewith in the effort to aid you.
Very truly yours,
A. D. MILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.
