Brandon, Miss.

Madam:

I have to advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension
claim S.6655 it appears that John Blue was born in 1757 in Rowan County,
North Carolina.

While residing in said Rowan County, he enlisted in 1779 and served 
five months as a private in Captain James Craig's Company, Colonel
Francis Locke's North Carolina Regiment and in 1781 he served three
months as private in Captain Brandon's North Carolina Company.

He was allowed pension on his application executed August 24, 1832
while a resident of Rowan County, North Carolina.

There is no data on file as to family.

The above noted John Blue is the only soldier of that name found on the
Revolutionary War records of this Bureau who served in the North Carolina 
Troops.

Respectfully,

Winfield Scott
commissioner
