ANDREW WAGGENER-B.L.Wt. 2424-400.
See Heitman, date of Major's death same as 1835 pension link.
The Revolutionary War records of this office show that warrant No. 2424 for 400 acres of bounty land was issued August 25, 1789 on account of the services of Andrew Waggener, Major of the Virginia line, War of the Revolution.
The Report of the Secretary of War printed in 1835, shows a list of Invalid Pensioners who were paid at the Virginia Agency but whose residences could not be ascertained because of the destruction of papers when the War Office was burned in 1800. The name of Andrew Waggener is borne on that list as a Captain, pensioned at the rate of $120 per annum on account of disability incurred in the service, his pension to begin November 2, 1807. He died May 27, 1813.
This office has no further data relative to that officer because of the destruction of papers by fire in his claims for both pension and land.
For information relative to military service of the above noted soldier, it is suggested that you apply to The Adjutant General, War Department, this city.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Assistant to Administrator.
