Mrs Pearle M. Henry Benton Arkansas
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information relative to James Henry of Salisbury District, North Carolina militia, whose pension application, you state, was numbered 5888, also one of that name of the same district whose application was numbered 4809.
A careful search of the Revolutionary War pension records of this office has been made and no claim for pension or bounty land found based upon service in the Revolution of a James Henry, identical with your description. You are furnished herein the record of the only James Henry of North Carolina, found in these records. The data therein were obtained from pension claim, W. 488, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
James Henry was born in 1755 in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania; the names of his parents are not shown.
While residing in Tryon (which was later Lincoln) County, North Carolina, James Henry enlisted in the latter part of the year 1775, served as private in Captain James Duff's company, Colonel Thomas Sumter's South Carolina regiment, was at the battle of Sullivan's Island, and was discharged after having served fifteen months. He volunteered, date not given, and served three months as private in Captain John Barber's company, Colonel Thomas Neal's regiment, and marched to Cross Creek on Cape Fear River in North Carolina. He served, also, three months as private in Captain John Barber's company, Colonel Graham's regiment, date of enlistment not given.
The soldier was allowed pension on his application executed October 30, 1858, at which time he was a resident of Lincoln County, North Carolina. He died February 28, 1841, place not given.

James Henry married May 11, 1780, place not stated, Elizabeth Russell; the date and place of her birth and names of her parents were not given.
Soldier's widow, Elizabeth Henry, was allowed pension on her application executed November 16, 1845, at which time she was a resident of Marshall County, Tennessee. In 1845, she was still living there aged eighty-seven years.
The following names of children of James Henry and his wife, Elizabeth, are shown in the claims. James Henry obtained a certificate dated September 6, 1788, which he took in order to obtain his standing in the Presbyterian Church, to enable him to have his children baptized:
   William  Henry,  born  April  4,  1781    Jane McIntire or "Genny" "  "  "  May  20,  1782, in Lincoln Co., N.C. married Feb. 15, 1810, James Mitchell, born Nov. 9, 1780, and moved with him to Tennessee.

Dear Sir:
I am writing to you to find out if it is possible to get a photostat copy of the affidavit of the pension application of James Henry , of Lincoln county, North Carolina. He was a volunteer soldier in the War of the Revolution of 1776 to 1783, serving in the militia under Capt. John Barber, serving under Col. Thomas Neil for three months during which time they marched to Cross Creek on the Cape Fear River, North Carolina, and then three months under the same Capt. Barber in the Regiment of Col. Graham.
What I want most is the signature of Capt. Adam Baird, one of my ancestors. He signed this affidavit along with some others in what was then Lincoln county, North Carolina.
I am enclosing an excerpt from Judge N. W. McConnell's History of the Baird, Martin, Wilson and other families.
This affidavit is dated Sept. 6, 1782.
Please let me know if Capt. Adam Baird applied for a pension for services in the Revolutionary War.
Very truly yours,
Robert E. Kincaid

(From page 130, Genealogical History of THE BARBER FAMILY)
In a letter of Professor L. C. Glenn, of Vanderbilt, who is a native of North Carolina, and a lineal descendant of Mary Tracy Wilson, he says: "In the Pension affidavits in Washington, JAMES HENRY from Lincoln county, North Carolina, says he was a volunteer soldier in the militia under Capt. John Barber, serving under Col. Thomas Neil for three months during which they marched to Cross Creek on the Cape Fear River, North Carolina, and then three months under same Capt. Barber in the Regiment of Colonel Irwin, and, accompanying it, as an affidavit as to Henry's service and character signed first by JOHN BARBER, Major, and also among others by Captain ADAM BAIRD, Thomas Martin, Josias Martin, John Martin, John Baird, etc., This affidavit is dated Sept. 6, 1782."
This county was known as Tryon county until 1778, then Lincoln until 1846, now Gaston county, with Gastonia the county seat.

Dear Commissioner:
I am writing to you for the war record of Captain Adam Baird. He came to Gaston county, North Carolina, in 1776 from Chambersburg, Pa., with his parents, John Baird and wife Frances. It was then Tryon county and was later Lincoln county, Gaston having been formed in 1846. He probably served in the North Carolina troops, but he may have served in the South Carolina troops as York county (then York District) South Carolina joins this county.
Adam Baird was a private at the time of the Battle of King's Mountain. Later he was made a captain. His great-great granddaughter, Mrs. J. W. Weatherly, of this city has the rifle he used in that battle. If he served from this State he probably was under Capt. John Barber as they were related through the Martin family.
I want this information for my mother, a descendant of the soldier, for her to join the Daughters of the American Revolution.
On the next page you will find my relationship to the soldier. I understand that this is required to be given in asking for the war record of any soldier of the American Revolution of 1776-1783.
Very truly yours,

Stearns Office, March 16th 1846
Sir
The declaration of Elizabeth Henry widow of James Henry, is herewith returned that the proceedings before the single magistrate may be submitted to, and affirmed by, a Court of record during its session.
This claim is barred by the Act of 30th April, 1840, her husband having received a pension during the period to which the Act of 7th July, 1838, was limited. It is, be further urged under the Acts of 3rd March 1843, and 17th June 1841, satisfactory evidence of the date of the marriage must be produced. Should the Clerk's Office or the Clerks Register in the County where it was consummated afford no proof, on this point, of which the Department must be satisfied, the Original family record, from which the paper purporting to be a copy thereof was made, should be forwarded to this Office.
This paper, unless sustained by the production of the Original from which it was taken, is calculated

to discredit the claim altogether
The service of Francis Waring is admitted

EXPLANATORY NOTES.
* QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words: "Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____ For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
If no certificate attached to certain case - evidence. I assume it would be sent to the office. The name of James ... appears to be written in ... and ... the ... evidence, ... ...
