Madam:

I have to advise you that from the papers in Revolutionary War pension claim

1778 in Captain Carter's Company, Colonel Purvis' South Carolina Regiment; in 
February 1781 was appointed First Sergeant in Captain Maxfield's South 
Carolina Company; was in the battle of Eutaw Springs, and was discharged in 
September 1781.

He was allowed pension on his application executed November 10, 1834 while a

Respectfully,

Commissioner
