Dear Sir:-
The data requested in regard to a soldier named William Sudduth is as follow: He was born 5 November, 1765, probably in Virginia and died in Clark County, Kentucky, 27 August, 1845: he is believed to have resided in the State of Virginia at the time of his enlistment, but the particular county I am unable to state.

Will you also furnish us with a copy of any records you may have relating to one Peter Scholl, who was a Revolutionary soldier. He was born around 1754, in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, and died in Clark County,Kentucky 11 September, 1821. In 1782 he married Mary Boone, daughter of Edward Boone, a brother of Daniel Boone. He is said to have memorialized Congress for a pension, but got none because he was in good circumstances.

Thanking you in advance for this information, we are,

Respectfully,
