Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your request for information in regard to John Casey of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, who was pensioned from March 4, 1794.
In the report of the Secretary of War in relation to the pension establishment of the United States, printed in 1835, the name of John Casey appears on a list of invalid pensioners living in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.
Said list shows that John Casey was a private in the Revolutionary Army and was pensioned from March 4, 1794, at the rate of $15 per annum under the Act of June 7, 1785.
There are no further data relative to this soldier because of the destruction of papers in the claim when the War Office was burned in 1800 and in 1814.
Very truly yours,
A. D. MILLER Assistant to Administrator

Dear Sirs:
Will you please send me the service record on the following REVOLUTIONARY WAR soldiers:
✓ John Casey, private in New Jersey Continental line and received pension from Philadelphia County, Pa. ✓ John Casey, private, received pension at Virginia Agency, the pension beginning Sept. 4, 1794.
The above data was taken from a volume of "Pension Rolls" but would like to have more details, in fact all details you can give me.
Very truly,
Dr. S.A. Casey Lebanon, Mo.
P.S.- we are trying to trace our genealogy, and if possible would like to know if in their enlistment, their fathers' names were mentioned, - who they were and where they lived. Also, if any of their children are named in connection with their pensions and etc.

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter of November 21, 1931, in which you request the records of two Revolutionary War soldiers named John Casey, one a pensioner of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, the other a pensioner of the Virginia Agency whose pension you state began September 4, 1794. The pensioner you quote received pension from September 4, 1799 at the Virginia Agency; it is presumed that you quoted inadvertently the record of another pensioner on the list of that agency.
The records of this office show that one John Casey served as a private, no description of his service shown. He was pensioned on account of disability at the rate of $40 per annum from September 4, 1799, at the Virginia Agency.
His age, residence and date of death are not shown.
There are no further data available in this office in regard to that soldier, as the papers in his application for pension were destroyed when the War Office was burned in 1800 or 1814.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Assistant to Administrator
