Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your request for information relative to 
Revolutionary War soldier Robert King.

The data which follow were taken from papers on file in the pension
claim R.5966 based on the military service of the only Robert King
of South Carolina that is found in the Revolutionary War records
of this office.

The date and place of birth of Robert King and the names of his
parents are not shown.

Robert King applied for pension January 19, 1846 at which time he
was living in Greenville District, South Carolina, and he then 
stated that he was eighty eight years of age.

He alleged that he enlisted in Caswell County, North Carolina in
1777 and served under Captains F. Lawson and Lee and Majors Bailey
and Butler at various times, amounting to four years in all, during
which time he was engaged in the battles of Camden, Lindley's Mill
and Eutaw Springs.

On November 10, 1846 he stated that he was ninety years of age and
that when he lived in Caswell County, North Carolina, with his
mother, her house was consumed by fire and his discharge was
burned and that he afterwards moved to Greenville District, South
Carolina.

His claim was not allowed as he failed to furnish proof of service
in accordance with the requirement of the pension law under which
he applied.

The papers in this claim contain no further data relative to the 
family of Robert King.

Very truly yours,

A.D. Hiller
Executive Assistant 
to the Administrator
