[S. C. Archives & Records of Leonardo Andrea Genealogical
Collection, Machen family, most date c1951]
There are no records
Henry's service in the National Archives due to "a fire in
Nov. 8, 1800 in the offices occupied by the War Department.
Other records were lost in 1814 when public buildings in
Washington were ransacked and burned by the British Army.
Because of these incidents some Federal pensions were approved
for Revolutionary War veterans even though no official
documentation of their service exists among the records of the
War Department. In such cases, pensions were usually granted
based on the authenticity of the affidafits and other
supporting evidence submitted by the veteran and others
concerning his military service."
[National Archives note 6/96]
However, there is a
receipt of payment from the State of Carolina for 250 days of
service signed by Samuel Earle.
