Madam;
I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau, it appears that Robert Hart served as Drum Major in Colonel Harrison's Virginia Regiment of Artillery, he lost the sight of his left eye, while in the service, occasioned by a cartridge taking fire, he continued in service to the end of the War.
He was allowed pension, under the Act of June 7, 1785, on account of disability resulting from said wound, from March 4, 1794, at which time he was a resident of Chesterfield County, Virginia. The date of his death is not on record.
There is no further data on file as to the soldier and no data at all as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims, when the War Office was burned in 1800
Respectfully,
Commissioner.
