BA-J/MCS Michael Boyers, S.3022
Mr. William H. Lewis Lone Mountain, Route 1 Tennessee
Dear Sir:
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, S. 3022, based upon the military service of Michael Boyers or Boyars.
He was born in 1755 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The names of his parents were not given.
While a resident of that county he enlisted about the first of November, 1777, and served two months as private in Captain Alderbrook's company in Colonel Grubb's Pennsylvania regiment. He enlisted in May, 1778, and served two months as private in Captain Shouflier's company in Colonel Cloninger's Pennsylvania regiment. Shortly after returning from the last noted service he moved to Washington County, Virginia, and enlisted about the first of August, 1780, and served three months as private in Captain Dasey's, Deasy's or Daly's company in Colonel Campbell's Virginia regiment and was in the battle of Kings Mountain. After returning from this tour of service he moved to Sullivan County "in the Franklin Government" which county was later in Tennessee and he enlisted in March, 1781, and served three months as private in Captain Wearan's company in Colonel Shelby's Virginia regiment.
For a while after the Revolution he lived in Sullivan County and from there he moved to Claiborne County, Tennessee.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 14, 1834, at which time he was living in Claiborne County, Tennessee.
The papers in this claim contain no data relative to the soldier's family.

Mr. H. C. Evans, O.A. & N. Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir: - Will you please furnish me the record of service of Michael Boyer in the war of the Revolution? He lived at least a part of his life in Pennsylvania near Lebanon.
I have reason to think he served in Penn. or Maryland, possibly in the German Regiment.
Any facts as to his service, time and place of death, residence when enlisted, whether he held a pension, etc., will be of help to me.
Respectfully yours,
(Mrs.) Blanche Lebrun.
Record and facts wanted for genealogical work in my family.

Gentlemen:-
I have a brief Revolutionary War Record received from the Veterans Administration taken from the pension claim, S. 3022, based upon the military services of Michael Boyers .
In concluding the record these statements are made:
"For a while after the Revolution he (Michael Boyers) lived in Sullivan County and from there he moved to Claiborne County, Tennessee."
"He was allowed pension on his application executed May 14, 1834, at which time he was living in Claiborne County, Tennessee."
"The papers in this claim contain no data relative to the soldier's family."
I take it for granted therefore that he left no widow to draw in his stead after his death.
Now what I want to know, is the date of death of said Michael Boyers, also his post office address at time of death.
My ancestor, Michael Boyers, lived in Tennessee, in Claiborne County, and is mentioned in land deeds as Capt. Boyers , but it isn't known whether or not he was a soldier in the Revolution or drew a pension. What I am trying to determine is whether or not the Michael Boyers mentioned in this record was my ancestor or another Michael Boyers who lived in Claiborne County, Tenn.
Again, referring to pension claim, S. C. 21589, based upon the military service of Samuel Moore , who enlisted from Claiborne County, Tennessee as a soldier in the War of 1812 and served as corporal in Captains John Brock's and Joseph Bacon's Companies of Tennessee Militia.
The Veterans Administration in concluding their record in this case states: "He was allowed pension on his application executed December 10, 1874, at which time he was living in Hunt County, Texas." But they do not give the date of his death or state whether or not his widow drew in his stead after his death.
Can you give me the date of the death of said Samuel Moore and his post office address at the time of his death? He married Mary (Polly) Lewis, a sister to my great grandfather. Did he leave a widow who drew a pension in his stead?
If you do not have the information sought on said Michael Boyers and Samuel Moore, can you tell me where I would be most likely to obtain such information?
Thanking you for such information as you can give,
I am
Very truly yours,
Wm H Lewis
