Honorable Hugo L. Black
United States Senate
Washington, DC

My dear Senator:

In response to your letter of the 29th ultimo, with two enclosures from 
Mrs. E.F. Walker of Gurley, Alabama, I have the honor to advise you that
the Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information
in regard to any soldiers named Ephraim and William Gurley, nor do the War
of 1812 records of this bureau afford any data in regard to pension having
been claimed on account of the services of any soldiers named Ephraim and
Joseph Gurley or to a William Gurley of North Carolina.

You are herewith furnished the history of the only soldier named Joseph
Gurley found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.

From the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W.4973, it appears
that Joseph Gurley enlisted in September 1781 and served two years and two
months in Captain Raiford's North Carolina Company.

He died March 10, 1828.

The soldier married in January 1780 (the marriage license was issued January
10, 1780) in Johnston County, North Carolina, Mary Carter.

She was allowed pension on her application executed January 6, 1845, while 
living in Johnston County, North Carolina, aged ninety-one years.

There are no data as to children.

                                    Very truly yours,

                                    Winfield Scott
                                    Commissioner
