Mr. Martin W. Amoss, R.R.#1, Hammond, Indiana.
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of William Pipes, William Harrod and Levi Harrod.
No claim for pension has been found based upon service in the Revolutionary War of a Levi Harrod or William Pipes. All spellings of the surnames searched. The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim S.16398, based upon the military service of William Harrod.
William Harrod was born September 26, 1764, in Berkeley County, Virginia. The names of his parents were not given.
While a resident of Bedford County, Pennsylvania, he enlisted in 1780, and served over six months as private in Captain Thomas Paxton's Pennsylvania Company of Foot Rangers and was engaged in defending that state against the Indians. Late in 1781, or early in 1782 he moved to Kentucky with his uncle, Colonel James Harrod, and settled in Lincoln County. He enlisted in the forepart of 1782, and served over eighteen months as private in Captain John Cowan's Company of Militia and was engaged in defending Kentucky (which was then a part of Virginia) against the Indians.
He was allowed pension on his application executed November 7, 1832, at which time he was living in Scott County, Indiana.
In 1832, one John Harrod, a clergyman, was living in Scott County, Indiana, but his relation to the soldier, William Harrod, was not given.

The papers in this pension claim contain no further data relative to the soldier's family.
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 William Harrod, it is suggested that you address the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following:
William Harrod Certificate #13858, Issued June 29, 1833, Rate $20.00 per annum, Commenced March 4, 1831, Act of June 7, 1832 Indiana Agency.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for the date and place of last payment of pension of William Harrod, S. 16398, and you wish to know if the Revolutionary War records of this office show any soldier named William Harrod, Herod or Herrod who died in Bartholomew County, Indiana, in 1836.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension of William Harrod, S.16398, the name and address of the person to whom it was paid and possibly the date of the soldier's death, it is suggested that you address The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, Washington, D.C., citing the following data:
William Harrod, Certificate 13858, issued June 29, 1833, rate $20 per annum, commenced March 4, 1831, Act of June 7, 1832, Indiana Agency.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, S. 2286, based upon the military service of William Herod, the only William Herod, Herrod or Harrod other than William Harrod, S. 16398, that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.

My dear Mr. Ludlow:
Reference is made to your letter of July 22, 1935, requesting information in regard to the Revolutionary War pensioner, William Harrod, S. 16398.
In explanation of the seeming discrepancy in the claim number, S. 16398, and the certificate number, 13858, you are informed that these numbers represent different identifications. The number, S.16398, represents the file number which identifies the claim of William Harrod in the files of this office and the number, Certificate 13858, represents the pension certificate number and identifies said claim in the files of the General Accounting Office.
In regard to the commencement of William Harrod's pension March 4, 1831, on his application executed in November, 1832, the Act of June 7, 1832, provided that all pensions granted under that act begin March 4, 1831, hence the payment of William Harrod's pension was retroactive.
The Revolutionary War records of this office show but one William Harrod, namely, the William Harrod whose file number is E. 16398 and whose pension certificate number is 13858.
The latest evidence on file in this office pertaining to William Harrod is a letter from the pension agent at Branch Bank, Madison (state not given) dated February 27, 1838, relative to the payment of the soldier's pension.

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of John Herrod, who married Rachel Shepherd, in 1758, both of Bedford County, Pennsylvania; John, Levi and William Herrod, of Washington County, Pennsylvania; John Herrod, who married in 1734, Sarah Moore and later lived in Pennsylvania; also, the record of Captain Thomas Herrod who married Hester or Ester Templin and who was killed by Indians in his field in 1803 in Ross County Ohio; and lastly, the record of a Major Herrod, who, in later life, resided in Ohio.
There are no claims for pension or bounty land on file based upon service of any John Herrod, as described by you, or of a Levi or Thomas Herrod; no claim could be identified as that of the Major Herrod in whom you are interested. This surname has been searched under all spellings of the name Herrod, also, under the name Harwood. The record of one William Harrod, S. 16398, has been found and is furnished you herewith as obtained from the papers on file in the pension claim.

My dear Mr. Ludlow:
Reference is made to your request for information in regard to John Harrod who was living in Scott County, Indiana, in 1832.
A search of the Revolutionary War records of this office fails to show a claim for pension on file on account of the service of John Harrod.
The data furnished you September 25, 1933, were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim of William Harrod, S. 16398. In the papers of this pension claim one John Harrod, a clergyman living in Scott County, Indiana, stated in 1832 that he knew William Harrod who was reputed to have been a soldier of the Revolution. No reference was made to John Harrod's having served in the Revolution.

Dear Mr. Hiller:
Please refer to your letter of September 25, 1933, in regard to the pension of William Harrod , S. 16398, BA-J/MCS.
In this letter you stated that the veteran was allowed pension on his application executed November 7, 1832, at which time he was living in Scott County, Indiana. You referred to the claim by the number S. 16398, but in the closing paragraph of your letter said:
"In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension of William Harrod, the name and address of the person to whom it was paid and possibly the date of the soldier's death, it is suggested that you address the Comptroller General, Records Division, General Accounting Office, Washington, D. C., citing the following data: William Harrod, Certificate 13858, issued June 29, 1833, rate $20 per annum, commenced March 4, 1831, Act of June 7, 1832, Indiana Agency."
Please explain the discrepancy in the claim numbers, S. 16398 and Certificate 13858 and also advise why the pension commenced March 4, 1831, if application was not made until November 7, 1832, and the pension was granted under the Act of June 7, 1832.
The pensioner who received benefits under Certificate 13858 died in 1843 as the records of the General Accounting Office show that the last payment of pension covering the period from March 4, 1843, to September 4, 1843, was made to John S. Mitchell at Madison, Indiana, on September 18, 1843. There is evidence that the other William Harrod died in 1836.

Dear Sirs;
My family name is Harrod and we are trying to get material to complete our line.
Have you any data pertaining to Rachel Harrod in census of Pa. 1791 there is Rachel Herred in Bedford Co. She is evidently a widow with one other female in her house. Did she receive a surviving widow pension. The material we have says she married Jno Harrod (Herod) (Herrod) Aug 5- 1758 in Fayette Co. Penn. Her maiden name was Rachel Shepherd but in 1791 census in Bedford Co Penn. is Jno Shepard . Could this be her people? Did Levi - Jno or Wm Harrod ever apply for Pension. 1791 they were in Wash. Co Penn. also Jno Herrod in Fayette Co Penn in 1791. Do you have a major? Harrod of Rev. fame who was with St. Clair in 1791 later in Ohio. This Jno Harrod we want was brother to Col. Wm & Capt James who settled Harrodsburg Ky in 1773. Is there anything on any of these papers to give credence to the story that the name Harrod, Herod etc was formerly Harwood . If you could send any information would be much pleased.

Did Hester or Ester (Templin) Harrod , widow of Capt. Thomas Harrod who was killed by Indians in his field in Ross Co. Ohio in 1803 apply for pension or was one granted her. Capt Thomas was my great great grandfather.
Did Sarah Moore Harrod ever apply She was wife of Jno Harrod (Herod) (Herrod) She was in Massacre of Big + Little Cove + escaped to Ft. Littleton. Sarah Moore married Jno. Harrod about 1734 on Shenandoah and then moved to Big Cove Penn. It was their son Jno. who married Rachel Shepherd but we have to prove it. and their son was Capt Thomas Harrod.

In a letter which I received from you signed by Mr. A. D.

I would like to know whether this John Harrod ever applied for pension and if so, whether same was granted. I believe he is said to have served in the Revolutionary War. I am wondering if he did not apply for pension, just how it happens that his name and the information which you give about him appears on your records. If in fact, he did apply for pension I would like to have all of the information given on such application.

Dear Mr. Morgan:
For an Indianapolis lady I am trying to secure as much information as possible in regard to Colonels William and James Harrod , who were conspicuous officers of the Revolutionary War and closely associated with George Rogers Clark. In some places in the historical accounts the name is spelled "Harrod" and in others "Herrod" and still others "Harwood."
The father of the two was, I believe, an Englishman, presumably named John, who was one of the earliest settlers of the Shanandoah Valley.
The War Department has furnished me all the information it has and has suggested that you might have some information in the records of your bureau.
I would appreciate very much anything you can tell me about these two men.
Very sincerely yours,
