Mrs. O. L. Stephenson 915 N. East St. Indianapolis, Ind.
Madam:
I have to advise you that in the report from the Secretary of War in relation to the pension establishment of the United States, published in 1885, on the list of invalid pensioners inscribed on the roll of the New York Agency appears the name of MATTHIAS DECAMP . He served as a private in the Army of the Revolution and received an invalid pension at the rate of $60 per annum. He died July 1, 1813.
There are no farther data on file relative to said pensioner and nothing relative to his family owing to the destruction of papers when the War Office was burned in 1800 and 1814.
The Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford any information in regard to Michael Murphy who served in Captain John Clark's Company in the 8th Pennsylvania Regiment.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner

Rev. War Section.

George Austin Morrison, 99 John Street, New York City.
Sir:-
In response to your letter dated the fifth instant, you are advised that on page 89 of Volume II, of the list of pensioners reported by the Secretary of War in 1835, one Matthias Decamp is recorded as a Private in the Army of the Revolution, an invalid pensioner at $60. per annum and as having died July 1, 1813.
The records of this Bureau also show that he was an invalid pensioner at $60. per annum, but there is no further information concerning him, as there are no papers on file, the same having been destroyed in the burning of the War Office.
A careful search of the above records fails to afford any information in regard to any Matthew DeCamp.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.

Dear Sirs:
The following party was a Pensioner of the United States for services in the Revolutionary War viz;
Matthias De Camp said to have died 2nd August 1802
or
Matthew De Camp said to have died 1st July 1813
I believe these men were identical and would esteem it a favor if you will send me the pension records of the above, particularly if these records show whether these men left descendants. They were from New York State living somewhere near Albany or Troy, N.Y.
Yours respectfully,
Geo. Austin Morrison
