Mr. William H. Cobb, Elkins, West Virginia.
Dear Sir:
You are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this office show that one Samuel Darby , R.13662 , of Preston County, Virginia, applied for pension, date of application not given, and in 1834 it appears that his papers had all been returned to him as "insufficient" and he was placed on record as "not entitled" to pension.
No subsequent amended declaration was submitted, hence this office has no data whatever as to his birth, family, service, residence at enlistment or death. It is not shown whether he ever lived in New Jersey
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER Assistant to Administrator.
the M. J. Samuel Darby on file does not appear to have lived in New

Honorable S. A. Kendall, House of Representatives, Washington, D. O.
My dear Mr. Kendall:
In response to your letter of the 7th instant, with letter of Mr. Milton M. Darby enclosed, I have the honor to advise you that photostatic copies of papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim of Samuel Darby, S. 10525, will be furnished Mr. Darby at the rate of fifteen cents a page with twenty-five cents extra for certification if that is desired.
The number of pages to be copied is ten.
Mr. Darby should forward the proper amount to this bureau by money order drawn to the order of the Secretary of the Interior.
The above named soldier was born November 10, 1757 in Newtown, New Jersey, served in the New Jersey Troops from Wantage, New Jersey, where he remained after the Revolution for about twelve years then moved to what was later Green County, New York, where he applied for

pension in 1832.
In letter of July 23, 1928, Mr. Darby's inquiry was for a Samuel Darby of Preston County, Virginia.
The Revolutionary War records of this bureau show that one Samuel Darby, R. 13662, of Preston County, Virginia applied for pension, date of application not given, and in 1834 it appears that his papers had all been returned to him as "insufficient" and he was placed on record as "not entitled" to pension.
No subsequent amended declaration was submitted, hence this bureau has no data whatever as to his birth, family, service, residence at enlistment or death.
Due to the very large number of inquiries similar to that of Mr. Darby's and the lack of a clerical force available for the purpose, the bureau is unable to make immediate reply to all requests relative to soldiers of the Revolution and War of 1812. Letters are being answered as rapidly as possible in order of receipt.
Very truly yours,
WINFIELD SCOTT, Commissioner.
