You are adviced that from the papers in the above

He enlisted in 1780 in Wilkes County, North Caro-
lina as a private and served three months in Captain
Clark's company, colonel, Cleveland's Regiment.  Was in
the battle of Gates'Defeat.  During this tour his father,
name not stated, moved to Burke County, North Carolina
from which place, at the expiration of above tour, sol-
dier enlisted for six months in Captain Patrick Kerr's
Company, Colonel Doolin's Regiment.  Was at the battle
of Cane Creek and at the Siege of Augusta.  After the
Revolution he moved to Wilkes County, Georgia and from
there to Tennessee.

He was allowed pension on his application executed
September 15, 1834 while a resident of Jackson County,
Tennessee, Post Office Gainesboro.  He died November 10,
1859 in Jackson County, Tennessee.

He married Elizabeth Floyd, date of marriage not
stated, who died previous to 1800.  It is not stated whether
there were any children by this marriage.

In 1800 in Powell's Valley, East Tennessee he mar-
ried Jane Franklin who was allowed pension on her appli-
cation executed December 2, 1870 while a resident of
Jackson County, Tennessee aged ninety-six years, She was
still living in 1874.

There were five children by this second marriage,
three of which were dead in 1874.  Edmond died after the
Civil War aged sixty years; Barbry and William died young.
John aged fifty-six years and James aged fifty-four, the
youngest, were living in Jackson County, Tennessee in
1874.  The latter "had a family" at that time, no names
stated.

Herewith is returned the letter of A.J. Belgen of
