Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the death dates of Adam Hartz or Hart, Epaphras Jones, Joshua Fowler and John Russell, soldiers of the Revolutionary War, who received pensions while residing in Floyd County, Indiana.
In the papers in the pension claim, S.46576, based upon the military service of Adam Hart in the Revolutionary War, the date of death is shown as July 27, 1847.
In the claims of Joshua Fowler, S.16120, Epaphras Jones, S.16889, and John Russell, S. 36878, the dates of death of the soldiers are not shown. John Russell is erroneously listed on the pension list of 1835, issued by the Secretary of War, as of Floyd County. His name should have been borne on the Clark County list.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the name and address of person paid and possibly the date of death of the Revolutionary War pensioners, Joshua Fowler(S.16120), Epaphras Jones,(S.16889)and John Russell( S.36878) you should address The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data:
