Mrs. Paul L. Ross 30 S. 23 rd Street Richmond, Indiana
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Isaiah Case and Jonathan Shaw, pensioners of Wayne County, Indiana.
Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War data and the limited trained clerical force available for furnishing such information, it is impossible to comply in full with each request pertaining to soldiers of that war. You are furnished herein the record of Isaiah Case, as found in his claim for pension, S.16692, based upon his military service in the Revolutionary War.
Isaiah Case was born in Morris County, New Jersey, January 19, 1759. The names of his parents are not shown.
While residing in said Morris County, Isaiah Case volunteered, served a tour of six weeks as a private under Lieutenant Currian in the New Jersey troops and assisted in building a fort at Pompton Plains, that state, and again volunteered and served another tour of six weeks as a private in Captain Solomon's (possibly meant for Salmon's) Company, New Jersey troops; no dates are given for either of these tours: shortly after the termination of the last named tour, which was about the time the British landed in Charleston, South Carolina, Isaiah Case moved to the state of North Carolina and settled in Wilkes County, where he volunteered and served at different times on tours for twelve months in Captain Cleveland's North Carolina Company, and for a like time on tours in Captain Jackson's North Carolina Company; no dates are given. Soldier stated that he participated in the battle of King's Mountain under Colonel Cleveland, in the North Carolina troops.
After the Revolution, he continued to reside in Wilkes County, North Carolina, until 1818, then moved to Wayne County, Indiana.
