Neither our mother or father ever drew a pension either from the United States or the State of Pennsylvania, nor did they ever make application for one -

LLEWELLYN DAVIS W. 3133 BA-J/MLB Am
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Llewellyn Davis, of Pennsylvania.
All papers in the claim for pension, W. 3133, based upon service of Llewellyn Davis in the Revolutionary War have been examined very carefully and the following data found:
The date and place of birth of Llewellyn Davis and names of his parents were not given.
Llewellyn Davis entered the service in the Fifth Pennsylvania Regiment, was commissioned Lieutenant, August 10, 1779, and served in that capacity to the close of the Revolutionary War.
Warrant No. 569 was issued August 19, 1789, to Llewellyn Davis for two hundred acres of bounty land, for his service as lieutenant in the Pennsylvania Line. There are no statements on file which were made by the applicant for this land because of the destruction of papers in such early claims when the War Office was burned in 1800.
If you desire information relative to the location of the land granted this officer, you should apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, and furnish that official the number of the warrant, the acreage and date of issuance.
Llewellyn Davis married in March or April, 1776, in Berks County, Pennsylvania, Martha Jones. They were married at the home of her father, whose name was not designated. Llewellyn Davis died in June, 1809, and his widow, Martha, died December 2, 1839. Their ages were not given.

Thomas Davis, eldest child of Llewellyn and Martha Davis, died prior to December 4, 1844, at which time the three surviving children, namely, Isaac Davis, Dr. William Davis and Susanna, then the wife of Samuel Shearer, all residents of Chester County, Pennsylvania, applied for pension which was due their mother at death. Their claim was allowed.
Martha Davis, wife of Llewellyn, had a sister, Susanna Kuhn, and a brother, Samuel Jones, both living in Berks County, Pennsylvania, in 1845.
In 1844, one Thomas Jones was an Associate Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Chester County, Pennsylvania, and in the same year, Elizabeth Jones and Caroline Jones witnessed in that county, the signatures of the three surviving children in their application for pension. Their relationship to the family or to each other is not shown.

Sir -
The heirs of Gen. Shewellyn Davis have called upon me again, and wish to know the result of their claim - the papers were forwarded to the Department about 4 months ago - and the answer received shortly afterwards was, that the marriage was not proven satisfactorily on account of the sister of Mrs Davis making her mark - we then shortly afterwards had the brother of Mrs Davis of Berks County brought to Lancaster and his affidavit respecting his sister's marriage to Gen. Davis, and whose affidavit concurred with his sister Susan's affidavit, that they were married in the Spring of 1776 - Some six weeks have elapsed since I have heard any thing respecting the claim - as the claim has been fully made out by the original papers of the said Gen. Davis dec d - I cannot perceive what is the cause of delay of the claim -
I had letter from the Department, to me, that the services when proven satisfactorily, but desired to know the exact time of marriage -

we have forwarded the very best evidence, the brother and sister of the said Martha Davis - who were present at the marriage ceremony - The Department must pardon me for writing again, as I have been requested by the heirs to urge the claim, therefore compelled to write -

Please send me the war record of Llewellyn David (Ellerwyn Davis) III of Pennsylvania or New York. This family changed its residence and its name, though I do not know when, nor where.
✓ Llewellyn David only I came to America with William Penn and settled in the Welsh Branch, W. Philadelphia. He was here in 1798, first census. There were Llewellyn David I, II, III. All of them were in the Revolution, if I am rightly informed.
I am anxious to obtain all the points required by the D.A.R. so should be glad to learn where and when Llewellyn David and Rebecca Shannon were married, by what clergyman and the names of their children.

I am told that Llewellyn David II was a Lieutenant and that he was eligible to the Cincinnati.
The first Llewellyn is registered as an innkeeper, in Chester County, Tredyffrin Township. No village is specified.
I have this date, Lieutenant, August 10, 1779. There is a Captain Llewellyn, but I do not know which one is meant. These items are taken from the Pennsylvania Archives. I have spent much time on these, with small results.
