Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to the DeHart family, different members of which resided in Virginia (or West Virginia), Kentucky, New York, North Carolina and South Carolina, four brothers having come to this country from France. You gave several Christian names in your letter which have all been used in the search of the Revolutionary War records of this office, Aaron, Elias, Abraham, Ben, Martin, Nathan, Simon, Joseph, Samuel and Frank.
There are no claims for pension on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War of an Aaron, Martin, Nathan, Simon, Elias, Joseph, Ben (Benjamin) or Frank Dehart (DeHart). The records have been found of one Abraham and one Samuel Dehart who served in the Revolutionary War. Their records are furnished you herewith. It is hoped that they will aid you in your research.

AFTER FIVE DAYS RETURN TO R. P. DEHART ENDICOTT, VA. ENDICOTT, VA. ROUTE 1
Ferrum, Va. Aug. 18, 1938

U. S. Veteran Bureau, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir: DeHart's came from France and Traditions was that was four brothers came a cross and three of them raised families and on gotton killed by the Indians. We was believing Aaron DeHart was one the four to we learned of the DeHarts at Bryson City N. C. and from their record we find Aaron DeHart the youngest son of Simon DeHart. The old tradition was that two the brothers moved to Kentucky and the other some where in Va. The southern part.
Nathan DeHart's letter to his grand son Martin DeHart date May 3rd 1858 page 20 of Bryson City DeHart Booklet which I learn Aaron DeHart American born.
If any way on earth I be the gladeat to get the names of Simon DeHarts brothers. Perhaps Simon DeHart was not the first DeHart come a cross either. I feel that it is more than likely we are the same generation of DeHarts landed at New Amsterdam Now New York Dr. Mary DeHart Lightner of Los Angeles Calif. explains same on page 33 and 34 of DeHart Pamphlet The DeHarts of Bryson City N.c says their progenitors from Ky.
Nathan DeHart says his father Elias DeHart was born Mar. 10. 1730 and married in Spartingburg Co. S. C.
I have a Photo print of the original letter and Nathan DeHart signed as printed on his onw name Nathan Dehart to Martin DeHart. As far back as the ninties my rememberance all our Va. DeHarts signed their name thus Dehart. My fathers first cousin Joseph H. DeHart, Woolwine Patrick Co. Va. always and to now sign his name and his business letter heads and envelopes is signed J. H. de Hart.
I am trusting you can give me some informations as to the first DeHarts in America. Was many DeHarts fought under General George Washington in the Revolutionary war. Was three brothers in the western part of this state or in West, Va. fought for 7 years their names was Abraham, one here Ben and Samuel, Abrahams has a son named Frank DeHart living in Giles County yet and is now 89 years old They too think the three brothers came a cross from France just as we did until we seen Nathan DeHarts letter. I learned of the DeHarts at Bryson City the year 1935 and the DeHarts in the western part of Va. Oct. 1936 when out there on business I find that the DeHarts at Bryson City by Nathan DeHarts letter are of the same family and do not know about the other DeHarts and going 28th this month to their reunion to try to learn more The reunion is at White gates Giles Co. Va if I possible can and any way I can get informations of the first DeHart's to this country or learn whom Simon DeHart brothers if any or whom his father I sure be glad It is said by old people the first DeHarts of our generation settled in Ky. & Va.
only one on file
Please give me all the informations possible how I am to find out. I will pay well for the informations.
Yours truly,
R. P. DeHart Please return pages of booklet enclosed
