Sir
I have the honor to return herewith Mr Walleggs letter and fair reply to the enquiry Contained therein to state that Geo P Dayhurf asserted a claim to a pension under the act of 7 June 1832, which was on the 15 th of Decemr of that year rejected
In his declaration he claimed to have served but two months only. The act of 7 June 1832 does not grant a pension for service less than 6 months. As he served actually to his own statement but two months his application was of course disallowed

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you state that your great great grandfather was Henry DaHuff, born in 1789, in Columbiana County, Ohio, that his ancestors may have come from New York, or Holland. You request that the Revolutionary War records of this office be searched for the record of any soldier with surname "DaHuff".
The Revolutionary War records of this office have been searched and no claim for pension found based upon service of a soldier with surname "DaHuff", nor do the War of 1812 records show a claim for pension on file on account of the service of any soldier with surname DaHuff, DeHuff, or Dayhoff.
The Revolutionary War records of Abraham Dehuff, John Dehuff, and George Dayhoff, are furnished you herewith. It is hoped that these records will be of interest to you.
