Pension application of Leonard Stringer R10267 f6VA
Transcribed by Will Graves 5/5/12
[Methodology: Spelling, punctuation and/or grammar have been corrected in some instances for ease of reading and to facilitate searches of the database. Where the meaning is not compromised by adhering to the spelling, punctuation or grammar, no change has been made. Corrections or additional notes have been inserted within brackets or footnotes. Blanks appearing in the transcripts reflect blanks in the original. A bracketed question mark indicates that the word or words preceding it represent(s) a guess by me. Only materials pertinent to the military service of the veteran and to contemporary events have been transcribed. Affidavits that provide additional information on these events are included and genealogical information is abstracted, while standard, 'boilerplate' affidavits and attestations related solely to the application, and later nineteenth and twentieth century research requests for information have been omitted. I use speech recognition software to make all my transcriptions. Such software misinterprets my southern accent with unfortunate regularity and my poor proofreading fails to catch all misinterpretations. Also, dates or numbers which the software treats as numerals rather than words are not corrected: for example, the software transcribes "the eighth of June one thousand eighty six" as "the 8th of June 1786." Please call errors or omissions to my attention.]
[Note: This file contains no copy of the application filed by the veteran. The only indication in the file of the contents of the application are reflected in the following letter:
Copy
War Dept. Pension Office.
Nov. 25, 1837.
Sir:
The declaration of Leonard Stringer has been examined. He alleges one tour of about two months and one tour of about three months as a Militia man of Virginia, and also two tours of service in driving wagons, and a soldier on board a vessel called the "Polly Hacker", Captain Parcels. Service as a wagoner is not provided for by the Act of 7th of June, 1832, and the vessel in which he served was a private armed vessel, which service is not provided for by the above mentioned Act. That Act provides for none who did not perform six months service in a Militia capacity or in a public armed vessel. The claim has therefore been rejected & the papers filed in this Office.
Joseph Ficklin, Esq.
Lexington, Ky.]
