The following is a letter from Mr. Earl Church commissioner to a Guy Tetrick 
of West Virginia dated Jully 22, 1929. It is included in a NARA microfilm 
M805-468 along with the original pension application/s the data was taken 
from. I obtained them from my library here in Chillicothe, Ohio 2/4/2002.

I advise you from the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau it appears 
Solomon Jarvis applied for a pension March 10th, 1829, at which time he was a 
resident of Poplar Plains, Fleming County Kentucky aged seventy-six years. and 
alleged that while residing in Bellaire Maryland he enlisted there for and 
during the war and at its close was a private under the command of Commodore 
Matthews in the naval services in a sea squadron. The length of his service is 
not given.

His claim was not approved as he failed to furnish proof of service as required 
by the pensin law.

In 1839 he resided in Scott Co. Kentucky and stated that he was then aged 
"upwards of eight years". In 1842 he was living in the same place.

The soldiers mother, Hannah Jarvis, testified for him in Fleming Co. Kentucky in 
1829. She was then in her ninety-ninth year.

The name of the soldiers wife is not shown. 
His son Lewis was a resident of Scott Co. Kentucky in 1839. 
There are no further family data.
