Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the record of John Corbett, private, commencement of pension, March 4, 1793, June 7, 1785, transferred to Tennessee.
In a report of the Secretary of War, printed in 1835 in regard to the Pension Establishment of the United States, there is on page 26(Va) in volume II of that report the following citation which appears twice on the same page: John Corbett, private, annual allowance $20, sums received $290, commencement of pension September 4, 1789, Act of June 7, 1785. It is not shown that he was transferred to Tennessee.
Your citation in regard to commencement of pension, it would seem, pertains to one John Collins on that list, and your citation in regard to the transfer to Tennessee, to one John Caldwell on said list.
This list was a report on invalid pensioners who had been paid at the Virginia Agency, but whose residences could not be ascertained because of the destruction of papers in such early applications, when the War Office was burned in 1814, so this office has no further information in regard to that John Corbett, for the reason expressed.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Assistant to Administrator.
