You request now to know if this office has a record of a John Hall who rendered this given service. The John Hall, S.2590, whose record was furnished you, alleged no service in the North Carolina troops; his service was in the South Carolina Troops. The Revolutionary War records have been searched and the record found of a John Hall who rendered service in the North Carolina troops in 1782. His record is given as shown in pension claim, S.41621, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War. There is no way for this office to determine whether or not he was identical with the one whose record you cite from page 1084, North Carolina archives. John Hall enlisted in Richmond County, North Carolina, and served at various times, amounting to about three and one-half years, in the North Carolina troops, and was in several engagements with the Tories; no officers names, nor dates of enlistments are given. He enlisted in September 1781, served in Captain Sharp's company, Colonel Archibald Lytle's North Carolina regiment and was discharged in September 1782 at James Island, South Carolina. He stated that this service of one year was "all the serice which he rendered in the army of the United States as a Continental soldier." An official statement from the North Carolina records in support of his claim for pension shows that he served as corporal in Captain Sharp's company; he did not himself state his rank. He applied for pension October 17, 1818, at which time he was a resident of Stewart County, Tennessee. His application was executed in Montgomery County, Tennessee. He stated then that he was in his sixty-seventh year. His claim was allowed. John Hall died January 27, 1833. An official report on file shows that the last payment of his pension which was due was made in May 1833, to Mapel Chapel of Anson County, North Carolina, his only surviving child. The name of soldier's wife is not given and no other names of children are shown. Very truly yours, A.D.
