William Thompson, R.10560

Mrs. L.C. Bittick
Forsyth, Georgia

Dear Madam:

Reference is made in your letter in which you request the Revolutionary
War record of William Thompson who died in 1823 in Columbia County, Georgia.

The data which follows were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, 
R. 10560, based upon the service of William Thompson, the only soldier of 
that name who applied for pension while living in Georgia that is found in 
the Revolutionary War records of this office.

William Thompson was born March 14, 1764 in Augusta County, Virginia.

He applied for pension November 6, 1832, while living in Habersham County,
Georgia.

It was alleged that while living in Abbeville District, South Carolina, he
enlisted in 1778 or 1779 and served at various times until the close of the
Revolution, accounting in all to about three years, as private with the
South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia troops under Captains Dunn,
Robert Black, Francis Carlyle, Robert Anderson, John Harris and William
Baskin, and Colonels James McCall, Elijah Clarke and John Cunningham. It
was alleged that he was in the battles of Reedy Branch and Long Swamp.

His claim for pension was not allowed as he failed to furnish proof of the
alleged service, in accordance with the requirement of the pension law.

After the Revolution William Thompson moved to Pendleton District, South
Carolina, where he lived until 1811 when he moved to Franklin County, Georgia.
He then lived in Habersham County, Georgia. In 1834 he moved to Cass County,
Georgia.

The papers in this claim contain no data relative to the soldier's family.

Yery truly yours

A.D. Hiller
Executive Assistant
to the Administrator
