Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for the records of Revolutionary War soldiers, James and Robert Coggin.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon the military service of soldiers in that war. A careful search of the records fails to show such claim on file on account of the service of James Coggin.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in pension claim, S. 41492, based upon the Revolutionary War service of Robert Coggin, the only soldier of that name that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
Robert Coggin enlisted at "Ramsay's Mills" (probably meant for Ramsour's Mills), Randolph County, North Carolina, in 1781, served twelve months as private under Captains Sharp and James Carter in Colonel Armstrong's North Carolina regiment and was discharged April 7, 1782.
He was allowed pension on his application executed June 11, 1827, at which time he was seventy-nine years of age and was living in Franklin County, North Carolina. The date and place of his birth were not given.
In 1827 he referred to his daughters, Elizabeth Coggin aged forty-one, Polly Coggin aged thirty-six, Patsey Coggin aged twenty-eight, and to his grandchildren, Martin Coggin aged twenty or twenty-one, Sally Coggin aged sixteen, and Rebecca Coggin aged five. The papers in this claim do not show the names of soldier's parents and wife nor do they give any further data relative to his family.

If so, I shall appreciate your sending me any such records you may have.
