6.  Series:  S165015  Year - 1831  Item - 00173  Ignore - 00
     Date:  1831
     Description:  Evans, William, Colonel, Thirty-Second Regt., SC Militia,
     Petition and Supporting Paper asking compensation for powder ordered 
     from A. L. Scarborough for his unit.  (4-pages).  (Addison died 1831)
     Note:  This may be our Addison Scarborough.  If so, his middle initial 
     was "L".

Note:  Addison's Father David Scarborough, died in 1774 & it looks like
          1784 when Addison moved to S.C.
Note:  Addison's 2-brothers, Major James Scarborough and Samuel
          Scarborough were living in N.C. when they filed for their
          Revolutionary War Pension.  I have copies of both of these.
          No family names were on either pension, unfortunately.
Note:  There was no Rev. War Pension on Addison Scarborough in N.C.
          since the Act of Congress granting a pension was not passed 
          until 1836.  Addison died 29 Mar 1831 per your database, so 
          there are no pension papers unless his widow filed for same.  
          Since we know he had a 2nd wife and they married sometime 
          c1820-1830, she might not have qualified for a widow's pension.  
          His 1st wife Josie Howell was living in 1810.  The family was not 
          found in the 1820 census records.  In the 1830 Census records 
          the oldest female shown was of 30 & under forty.  Could this have 
          been his 2nd wife Patsy Kelly?  Or was it an elder daughter? 
          Only through further study and documentation can we determine
          this.
