Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Hugh McGlochlin (McLaughlin of McClaughlin) who served in Virginia, and whose wife was Jane Wiley: you state, also, that he was a resident of Bath County, Virginia in 1823.
A search of the Revolutionary War records has been made and the record found of Hugh McGloughlin (also referred to as McLoughlin) of Bath County, Virginia, whose widow married James Wiley. The record of that soldier is furnished herein as found in the papers on file in pension claim, W. 6537, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
Hugh McGloughlin enlisted in Augusta County, Virginia, July 31, 1777, for three years; he served as corporal in the Virginia troops; he was in the battle of Monmouth, and in the Siege of Charleston, South Carolina, where he was taken prisoner and held as such for over [written "more than"] one year; the names of his officers are [written "were"] not designated.
Hugh McGloughlin married August 18, 1789, in Pendleton County, Virginia, Agnes (also called Ann, Nanny and Nancy), the daughter of David Gwinn, or Gwin. She was born August 18, 1770.
Hugh McGloughlin died June 5, 1798, in Bath County, Virginia.
Agnes McGloughlin, widow of Hugh, married (the second time) in 1810, James Wiley; they were married on the plantation of her father, where she was born. James Wiley died July 14, 1838.
It was stated in 1845, that Jane Kirkpatrick, the daughter of Hugh and Agnes McGloughlin, received land from Virginia which was due on account of the service of her father in the Revolutionary War. No other children are [written "were"] referred to.
Agnes Wiley was allowed pension on account of the service in the Revolutionary War of her former husband, Hugh McGloughlin, on her application executed July 7, 1845, at which time she resided in Bath County, Virginia.
It is suggested that further information relative to Hugh McGloughlin might be obtained from the archives in Richmond, Virginia, by addressing the Librarian, Virginia State University, or the Custodian of Revolutionary War land records.
In order to obtain the date of the last payment of pension, name of person paid, and, possibly, the date of death of this pensioner, you should address The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following:
