Dear Sir - The Claim I wrote to you about some time ago before the pension officer - it is the heirs of Mr Daniel who applied for said Daniel's pension - Geo Winegar is one of the heirs & has bought the interest of the Rest of the heirs - said Winegar administered on the estate & has applied for his pension - probably you will find it in the name of Daniel - Geo Neely wrote to Winegar that he had it it about through only Mcguire's A certain evidence - which Winegar got sent to him since which time he has not heard a word from him will you please make the necessary examination & report to me at your earliest convenience - Mr Winegar is very poor & the pension is no doubt just due if anything can be done It will be of lasting service to him & his family - Mr Daniel was in service in the revolutionary war no news has yet come about 2000000

Hon J Minot Commissioner of Pensions Sir
Mr John Wininger of this County has just shown us your reply to his inquiry respecting a pension claim, he is protesting in your Department. From your reply we suppose you understood his claim to be for bounty land, this is a mistake it is for a Revolutionary Pension claimed to be due to his wife and other children of William Daniel The application was made by him as Administrator of said William Daniel and was forwarded as well as we now remember some time in the Month of March last to the Address of Hon D B Wright Ill. 6. from this District Accompanying the application was proof that the said William Daniel and his wife are both dead and that the persons named are their only children This part of the proof

is all made according to the directions, and forms given by your Department. There however is no positive proof of the services rendered by Mr Daniel other than the only proof is by reputation A accompanying result application is a power of Attorney to S O. Neal Esq. the supposed it would be necessary to get further proof of the services rendered by Mr Daniel. Any information that you may be enabled to give him on the subject, addressed to him at Cartersville Miss or to us at this place will confer a favor Very respectfully Yours &

Sir,
I have received the papers adduced  transmitted by you in support of a claim for an annuity of pension alleged to be due the surviving children of Wm P. Daniels died We have no rolls of the companies  regiments to which it is averred Daniels belonged. It is possible some record evidence of his service may be obtained at the auditor of Public accounts, at Richmond. Another record evidence of the marriage exists in the county court of Mecklenburg Va. If the claim is suspended for further I have the honor to be proof. very respectfully Your ob't servant.

Sir,
In reply to your letter of the 24 th 19 th instant, addressed to the Secretary of the Interior and by him communicated to this office, I have, respectfully, to inform you that the claim of the heirs of W m P. Daniel was disallowed by this office in 1856, for the reason that his service was not satisfactorily substantiated. Since then, however, the Attorney General has decided that unadjusted pension claims are not recoverable by the children of revolutionary soldiers, or other parties. It would, therefore, be now useless to attempt to procure the evidence then required in 1856.
With high  great respect,

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Vincent Jones of South Carolina, William Powell Daniel of Mecklenburg County, Virginia, soldiers of the War of the Revolution, and War of 1812 soldier, Isaiah Rotine, also wish to know if the record of a soldier with surname, Rottin, Roten or Wroten, Revolutionary War, is found.
The Revolutionary War records of this office fail to show a claim for pension on file on account of the service of any soldier with surname Rottin (the name searched under various spellings), nor do the War of 1812 records show a claim for pension on file on account of the service of Isaiah Rotine, similar spellings searched.
The Revolutionary War records of Vincent Jones and William Powell Daniel, are furnished herewith, as found in pension claims, based upon service in that war.
Very truly yours
