Report in Thomas Barnes case Affidavit
Not Entered
Rejected, Singleton Report

Lewis County
Thomas Barney age 69. Arm his gran.
John Reger of Lewis County age 66 yrs. Says that Thomas Barney came to this country when he Reger was 18 yrs. old. Barney then told him that he was 21 yrs. old. This was in 1787. Reger has known him ever since, & don't believe that he did any service in the Revolutionary War.
John Mitchell age 71 yrs. has known Barney ever since he Barney came to Western Virginia. Thinks that he could not have been a Soldier in the Revolutionary War, he is too young.
Samuel Bennett age 65. yrs. says that himself and Thomas Barney were boys together their ages about the same. He knows that Barney was not a Soldier in the War after the Revolution -
Henry Fisher says that Thomas Barney came to Buckingham Lewis County (then Harrison) six or seven years after the close of the R. War. - that he Barney was in this country in a Survey in the 1785. then not grown. - "too young for an old Soldier"
Note - this case is certified by D. W. Sleeth. - it is the general rumour in this country. (and no doubt often truth of the Rumour. though not susceptible of strict proof -) that this man Sleeth is packed about from Mountain to Valley & from county to county. by "the Lewis Speculating gentry. and seems too clever for every case he certifies - Sleeth is said to be a man of bad character. - the Department

cannot (in my opinion) be doing injustice to the parties concerned. by adopting as a general rule to disallow all cases entitled by the man. This is the opinion of every honest man. (a scarce commodity here) that I have met with.
Respectfully Respectful.
W. G. G. G.
Special Agent.
