Mr. J. L. Davenport, Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir:-
Your kind favor of the 23rd received, but I fear the pension certificate you send me is not that of my Revolutionary ancestor and if you will pardon me I will ask a few questions.
Your certificate said William Hicks was engaged in skirmish near Savannah, Ga. Siege of York; at date of enlistment resided in Goochland Co. Va.; applied for pension July 20, 1818; claim allowed; residence at date of application, Goochland Co. Va.; age at application, 73; wife Anne same age.
Now I know my ancestor's wife from whom I am descended was Mary Elizabeth Harris. Could you look at the record of the other Wm. Hicks and see if the wife of any of them was Mary Elizabeth Harris? Of course she may have died and he may have married a second time.
Then is there anything in the record of any of them to show that they died in Fayette or Woodford Co. Ky. and when they died? I should appreciate it greatly if you would send me this data if possible,
Yours truly,
Amao Stout Georgetown, Ky.
May 28th, 1912
If the record you have of a William Hicks who enlisted from Goochland Co. is not the one who afterward lived in Fayette Co. Ky., please send me the record of the one in Fayette Co. Ky. for he must be my ancestor. My ancestor married in Goochland Co. Va. but am not sure he lived there.
