REVOLUTIONARY WAR RECORD:
Dear sir:
I have your record of my Grandfather Davis, I mean Great Grandfather Davis. So far as I know it is all right down to the very last where it says Lydia their youngest daughter married Henry Barnhart in 1853 for she married him in 1828 and my father was born in 1838, July 19th, and there were four older than he. If you can't find this in Jacob Davis's record and get it straightened out, you might be able to find it in the civil war record, as my grandmother Barnhart drew pension on from the death of the oldest boy Hiram who died in prison and she must have given her history at that time for my Grandfather Barnhart died in the summer of 1880 and she drew pension from that time on, or a short while after that until her death. Also my half-sister would like a record of Grandfather Davis' record and also from Grandfather Barnhart down. You can make them in duplicate, sending one to Mrs. Wesley Johnson. Lime Springs, Iowa, and the other one to me. That is where my father is now. We both want to join the "Daughters of the Revolution" She is the oldest Barnhart girl of the first family of my father's and I am the oldest of the second family.
Thanking you in advance for any information that you may be able to give me on this subject, I beg to remain,
Very truly yours,
Ella M. Barnhart, 315 Van Eps Building, Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Madam:
In response to your letter of the 24" ultimo, herewith is attached that history of the Revolutionary War pensioner, Jacob Davis, W. 19,136, which was originally furnished you on Feb. 7, 1921. It is not stated on said paper that Lydia was the youngest daughter of the soldier nor is the date of her marriage given therein. The date 1853 is used in connection with the reference to her simply to indicate that at that time she was living at Gowanda, N. Y. and was then the wife of Henry Barnhart, which carries her history up to the latest known date.
Owing to the lack of a clerical force available for the purpose, this Bureau only furnishes a record once to any person. Persons desiring the history of such a soldier should apply over their own signatures.
Very respectfully,
Chief Clerk.
