Margaret B. Davis 56 Kenworth Road Columbus, Ohio
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Daniel Lout and Agustine Comer, both of Virginia.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made for pension and bounty land to the United States, based upon military service of soldiers in that war.
A search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the service of any Daniel Lout or Louts. It is suggested as a possible means of securing data relative to the military record of this soldier, that you apply to The Adjutant General, War Department, Washington, D. C.
The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 18945, based upon the Revolutionary War service of Augustine (as the name appears in the claim) Comer.
The date and place of birth of this soldier are not shown in the claim, nor are the names of his parents stated.
Augustine Comer enlisted in Shenandoah County, Virginia "on Easter Monday", 1776 or 1777, served as private in Captain Langdon's company, Colonel Neville's Virginia regiment; he was in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, Stony Point, was taken prisoner at Charleston and held about two months, when he made

his escape and joined General Marion's Light Horse, also served in General Sumter's Light Horse, and was discharged about three weeks before the surrender of Cornwallis.
Augustine Comer was allowed pension on his application executed, July 21, 1818, then aged sixty-one years and living in Monroe County, Virginia.
He married April 23, 1782 in Shenandoah County, Virginia, Catharine (Cortreen) Rush. He died July 22 or 23, 1824 in Monroe County, Virginia. She died April 11, 1841 in Mercer County, Virginia.
The following children survived their mother, Catharine (Cortreen) Comer- Jacob Comer of Mercer County, Virginia, John Comer of Mercer County, Virginia, Sally, wife of John Peters, of Giles County, Virginia, Elizabeth Miller of Logan County, Virginia, Catharine Ball of Logan County, Virginia, Frederick Comer of Monroe County, Virginia, Barbara Comer of Monroe County, Virginia, Michael Comer of Cabell County, Virginia, Augustine Comer of Nicholas County, Virginia.
The pension due the widow, Catharine (Cortreen) Comer, on account of the services of her husband, Augustine, was paid to the above named children, with the exception of Frederick Comer, who died about the year 1849.
Very truly yours

Augustine Corner who by Virtue of a Record from this Court, bearing date the 21 st day of July 1818 having made application for a Pension, was disappointed in the acceptance of the same because of the Objections following to said Record — 1 st "Let the applicant shew the time he entered the service" — 2 d let him shew the time & manner of leaving it" — 3 d Let further evidence be given of the facts stated in said Record" — 4 th Let the time in which he served be expressly stated" — The said Augustine Corner this day personally appeared in Court, (The same being a Court of Record) & being first duly sworn, States that he enlisted in the service of the United States as well as his memory now serves him, on Easter Monday in the Year 1776 or 1777 that his enlistment took place in Shenandoah County in the State of Virginia & that he was enlisted by John Henry or John Hendrick sergeant to the Company commanded by Captain Langly & that he belonged to the same company, & that his Company was attached to the 12 th Virginia Regiment commanded by Col d Nevel that he was discharged at Charleston South Carolina after having faithfully served out his time, that his discharge was signed by Gen d Scott, & that the same has been lost, that he carried it with him in his pocket a long time & lost it in the woods when fighting against the Tories. That after his said discharge & before he left Charleston he was taken prisoner by the British & was kept as such for about two

months, when he made his escape, that after having made his escape from the British, he as a Volunteer joined Genl. Mavard's light horse & afterwards served in Genl. Simpler's light horse after this was under Genl. Green. & so continued in the service until about three weeks before Cornwallis was taken when he was permitted by his Officer to return home. that during his enlistment he served as a regular Soldier on the Continental establishment in the 12 th Va. Regiment commanded as aforesaid. That he has no further evidence now in his possession of said services that he is in reduced circumstances & stands in need of his country's support.
The said Court of Monroe are well satisfied that the foregoing declaration of the said Augustine Corner is strictly correct as it respects his services as a soldier on the Continental establishment during the Revolutionary War & as it concerns his reduced circumstances and his standing in need of his country for support. They do therefore direct the Clerk of this Court forthwith to transmit the former Record of this amendment to the Secretary of War -
In Testimony whereof John Hutchison jr Deputy for Isaac Hutchison Clerk of this Court have hereunto set my hand & annexed the seal of Office. At Monroe this 24 th day of June 1819 In the 43 d Year of the Commonwealth of Virginia

Sir,
The application under the act of 4 th July 1836, of Catharine or Cathreen Conner, dec d , widow of Augustine Conner, has been examined and filed.
The date of their marriage, and also of the service of Mrs Conner's husband is satisfactorily established, but as no portion of that service was rendered after their marriage, she had at the time of her death no claim to a pension under the above act. —
If applicants will file a declaration under the act of 7 th July 1838, and will produce the affidavit of the Clergyman or Undertaker who officiated at the funeral, or of the Physician who attended her in her last illness, showing the particular day on which Mrs Conner died, a certificate may probably be issued under that act. The Court certifies that Mrs Conner died about the time specified in the declaration. This is not sufficient. The day on which that event took place, should be clearly shown.
I am very respectfully
