From WYTHE LEIGH KINSOLVING, B.D.; M.A. 255 WEST 108th. Street, NEW YORK CITY. DEAR SIR: March 7, 1938.
Wythe Leigh Kinsolving
In files of the original pension bureau records of the U.S.A. there is a report from the SECT of WAR in regard to the pension of JOHN CONSOLVER, NOVEMBER 20, 1790; (pension establishment of the U.S.A VOL. 2, page 26( WASHINGTON, 1835). I would be glad to have a copy of same, just plain type copy, (not the photostatic.) If other CONSOLVER records in that Revolutionary period are there in evidence, and it is not too difficult, I would be glad to have the statements about the names spelt CONSOLVER, or CONSOLVO; or even CONSOLVANT; or other variants of this name. I am gathering some data about this name CONSOLVO, or CONSOLVER, ( a few times spelt also Consalver); and I would value the report you see fit to send. A Micajah CONSOLVER enlisted 1780 from Orange Co? or Albemarle Co. Va. Thanking you for as much as you do. Very sincerely, W.L. KINSOLVING

Dear Sir:
April 8, 1938
Some time ago I sent a card or letter to make inquiry about the name of CONSOLVO or the name of CONSOLVER in Revolutionary RECORDS. I have some reason to believe the name Consolver may be the original form of Kinsolving. I do not know this. I am seeking data to frame a correct understanding of the matter.
I know the name Consolver and the name Consolvo do occur on Revolutionary records. I wrote and gave the
references to have them looked up. I have had no reply.
In attempting to cover the history of the name, it is important to get the Government records reported, and the forms of the name used then indicated.
May I trouble you to give me the desired information?
Such names as Micajah Consolver, Martin Consolver, and John Consolver may be found in North & SOUTH Carolina in one battle, one of the name fought in the Revolution, Charles
Sincerely, WILLIAM LEIGH KINSOLVING. M.A., B.D. "BATTLE OF COWPENS." Records 1781 Kinsolving.

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letters in which you request the Revolutionary War records of John, Martin and Micajah Consolver, Consolvo, Consolvant, Consalver, Kinsolving, etc., also, of others with that surname.
The Revolutionary War records do not show that a claim for pension was made based upon service in that war of a Martin or Micajah Consolver, nor of any other soldier with that surname except John, cited in your letter. The name has been searched under all spellings including that of your own name.
In the Report of the Secretary of War, printed in 1835, in regard to the pension establishment, the name John Consolger is borne on a list of Invalid Pensioners who had been in receipt of pensions of the Virginia Agency, but whose places of residence could not be ascertained because of the destruction of papers when the public buildings were burned in 1814.
That report shows that John Consolger served as a private and was granted a pension of $60 per annum from September 4, 1789, which was for disability incurred during his service in the Revolutionary War. A reference in this office shows that this pensioner died prior to March 4, 1810, and that his name was John Consolyer . This office has no further information in regard to that soldier because of the loss of the papers in the claim, as stated above.
It is regretted, indeed, that reply could not have been made sooner.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator
