LEONARD CORL can S. 40842 BA-J/MCHP:MLB
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request further information in regard to the Revolutionary War service of Leonard Corl (S. 40842), whose record was furnished you December 8, 1938, as you have the military record of a Leonard Corl or Carl who rendered service subsequent to that given in the report from this office. You state that it seems that the pensioner would have recited his entire service in his application for pension.
This office has no further information in regard to the military service of Leonard Corl than was furnished you. It may be stated that in order to obtain a pension under the Act of March 18, 1818 (the act under which the above-named soldier applied), all that was necessary in regard to military service, was to prove service of nine consecutive months in the Continental Line, so many of the applicants rendered longer service than that set forth in their applications for pension under that act.
For further information in regard to the military service of Leonard Corl, it is suggested that you apply to The Adjutant General, War Department, this city,

BA-J/ILL Leonard Corl S. 40842
Dear Sir:
The record of Leonard Corl is given herein as found in his claim for pension, S. 40842, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
Leonard Corl, while a resident of York County, Pennsylvania, enlisted in 1776, in Abbottstown in said county, served as private in Captain Thomas Church's company, Colonel Anthony Wayne's Pennsylvania regiment, marched north, was in the battle of Three Rivers and was discharged in Chester, Pennsylvania, having served one year.
He resided in York County, Pennsylvania, until about the year 1806, then moved to St. Clair Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 30, 1818, at which time he resided in St. Clair Township, in said Bedford County. The soldier gave his age then as about sixty years, but did not state the date and place of his birth, nor the names of his parents.
Reference was made to children of the soldier who were living just after September 1819, but their names were not given; the name of soldier's wife and date and place of their marriage were not shown.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name of person paid, and, possibly, the date of death of Leonard Corl, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, this city, and furnish that official the following: Leonard Corl, certificate #14437, rate $8 per month, commenced January 1, 1828, placed on roll September 3, 1830, Act of May 20, 1830; Pennsylvania Agency.

From: Mrs. A.C.Williams, Hannibal, Mo. To: Veterans Administration, Washington, D.C. Subject: BA-J/ILL Leonard Corl S.40842
Following up your letter of December 8 regarding Revolutionary War service of one Leonard Corl, I would like to secure additional information if possible from your records. Your letter states that only one Leonard Corl is found on the records of your office and that the extent of service is as follows:
"While a resident of York County, Pennsylvania, Leonard Corl enlisted in 1776, in Abbottstown, York County, served as a private in Captain Thomas Church's company, Colonel Anthony Wayne's Pennsylvania regiment, marched north, was in the battle of Three Rivers and was discharged in Chester, Pennsylvania, having served one year."
Information given in your records of this veteran check with other information in the family possession as to residence, age and residence after the war. But family tradition says he served approximately seven years in the Revolutionary War and a certified copy from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania archives lists only one Leonard Corl from York County in their records and gives service as follows:
"I hereby certify that LEONARD CORL (or CARL) served in the Revolutionary War in the capacity of Fifer in Captain John Sherer's Company of York County Militia belonging to Colonel Remer's Battalion in the year 1782."
Also:
"A careful search of our papers of the Revolutionary War reveals nothing under the name of Leonard Carl except as above stated."
Can your office check this information and ascertain if these two records of service are of the same veteran? Or is one enlistment in the Continental Army and the other in the Pennsylvania Militia? Even then, it seems the veteran would have supplied a record of all service when making application for pension to your office. As your records show only one Leonard Corl from York County and the Pennsylvania records show only one Leonard Corl from this county, it must surely be one and the same man. Can you supply any additional service record, or can you advise me as to where I might make a complete check on these two records of service.
Thanking you for an early reply, I remain

Dear Sir:-
In the "Census of Pensioners" compiled from the Census of 1840, on page 118, I find Leonard Curl (his descendants now spell the name Corl or Corke ), aged 76 years, in Union Township, Bedford Co., Penn., as drawing a pension for service in the Revolutionary War.
Do your records show what particular service the pension was based upon? Or the names of relatives later? Should be obliged to you for whatever the pension file contains as to this man.

Sir,
I herewith return the papers which you deposited in this Office in the case of Leonard Corl, being insufficient to authorise the continuation of his name on the pension list. He must assign a sufficient reason for not making earlier application for a continuance of his pension, and account for the property which he may have disposed of since the 18 th of March 1818, in the manner directed in the enclosed printed sheet. I would particularly refer him to the notes marked (e) and (g). If no changes have taken place since that time, he must state the fact explicitly, under oath.

Sir,
I take the liberty of asking of you some information for which I do not know to whom else to apply.
I wish to know at what times the names of Leonard Keal and Valentine Gruber of Bedford County, were stricken from the pension list and when restored.
I have been informed by Mr Keal that shortly after the receipt of his pension certificate, granted under the law of 1818, he was persuaded by his children from pride, as he says, to relinquish it or cease drawing the pension, and that in consequence, he did not draw any after the first or second payment for a number of years. This is what he may mean by saying his name was dropped from the list.
If any of his pension was left undrawn can it be obtained in any other way than by a

special act of Congress.?
I shall be glad to have a reply as soon it may be convenient.

Dear Sir
I again trespass on you in favour of an old soldier named Cook. Who was once on the pension list, but afterwards declined transferring his pension until the pressing necessities of extreme poverty compelled him. He pleased to have his case rather disposed of at the Pension office so as to have him restored or have his claim submitted to the Committee on pensions.
I had supposed the Clerk of and Cook had been making his papers in indecency after the would attested, but was mistaken.
If he is restored at the Pension office his pension ought to take effect from the 28 th Ap. 1827.
If a committee decide on it as presumed, they ought to allow him from the time that his pension ceased as he is precisely in the same situation as to property that he then was but much more inferior.

Report in the case of Leonard Cort
[Faint, mirrored handwritten text, likely bleed-through from the reverse side of the page]

The Committee on Pensions in the case of Leonard Cok
Report, That the said Leonard Cok was placed upon the pension roll under the act of March 1818, but was struck from the said roll because he did not comply with the provisions of the act of May 1820. That on the 27 th day of April 1827 he made application to be placed on the pension roll and complied with the provisions of that law, but the head of the Pension Bureau rejected his application because he did not assign a sufficient reason for not making earlier application for a continuance of his pension. The schedule of property transmitted and certified according to provisions of the act of 1820 amounts to forty eight Dollars and twenty nine & a half cents. - The Committee recommend that Leonard Cok be allowed a pension of Eight Dollars a month from the said 27 th day of April 1827. -
