Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your request for information relative to 
Revolutionary War soldiers, Abraham and William Hedgepeth.

The Revolutionary War records of this office fail to afford any 
information relative to a William Hedgepeth.

The data which follow were taken from papers on file in the 
pension claim S.6989 based on the military service of Abraham 
Hedgepeth.

Virginia. The names of his parents are not shown. When an infant, 
he moved to Nash County, North Carolina.

While a resident of Nash County, Abraham Hedgepeth enlisted in 
July, 1782, and served fourteen months as private with the North 
Carolina troops under Captains Edward Grady, Bacot and Peter 
McCates and Colonel Lytle.

After the Revolution, Abraham Hedgepeth lived in Nash County, 
North Carolina, with the exception of about twelve months when he 
lived in Bertie County, North Carolina, about 1786 or 1787.

He was allowed pension on his application executed May 15, 1833,
at which time he was living in Nash County, North Carolina, and
he was living there in 1835.

The papers in this claim contain not data relative to the family
of Abraham Hedgepeth.

In order to obtin the date of last payment of pension of Abraham
Hedgepeth, the name and address of the person to whom it was 
paid and possibly the date of death of this soldier, it is 
suggested that you address The Comptroller General, Records
