Gentlemen:
Will you inform me if you have any military records of Benjamin Luckett and Capt. Thos. H. Luckett who were revolutionary soldiers in Virginia. They were applicants for grants of county land and probably were given Kentucky land as they at one time later lived in Kentucky although I do not know for how long.
Thanking you in advance for any information you may give me, I am, 
Sincerely

Gentlemen,
I've gone over the pension roll
 at the library in Cincinnati and found the
following names. My people all came from
Virginia and Maryland and I'm trying
to get some information to complete my D. A. R. papers. I've always been told that a
grandfather Thomas Wheeler served in the Revolutionary war. I didn't seem to be able to find
this and thought perhaps it was a Capt. Thos Luckett instead of Wheeler and the names got mixed. I found a Capt. Thomas Luckett in [illegible] Record Revolutionary War, who
was granted 5500 acres of land from state of Virginia for service of 8 years and 4 months.
He served to end of War and received Commendation. Clary Ann Luckett was the name of
the mother of William Scott Clark, who was born in the Pr. Wm. County Va in 1800. I
thought the tradition might have gotten mixed -  Grandfathers were switched. It does
seem possible but 
I can't find another thing about the name Luckett.

Wm S. Clark was married to Ann Wheler in Fairfax Court House.
My reason for thinking perhaps these could be my Clark:
No trace can be found of Wm Scott Clark's father.  Wm Scott Clark moved to Ky in 1850 and was born in Pr. Wm. Co. Va in 1800. It seems possible that either Thomas or Robt. Clark could have been the father.  In 1850 Chloe (Luckett) Clark was living in Washington D.C. and gave a power of atty to her son Wm S. Clark to sell a house + lot in the small village of [illegible], which was then a thriving
town.
If you can give me any information as to these
pensioner I shall be ever so grateful to you.
Very truly yours

P.S. I thought possibly you might have information as to the heirs of pensioner

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the records of Captain Thomas Wheeler or Captain Thomas Luckett of Virginia or Maryland, Thomas Clarke and Robert Clarke of Fairfax County, Virginia, William Clark who served in the Maryland militia, Thomas Wheeler of Baltimore County, Maryland, and Thomas Wheeler of Henrico County, Virginia.

Because of the large number of requests for records of Revolutionary War soldiers and the lack of clerical force available for furnishing such information, it has been impossible to comply in full with requests similar to yours. The Revolutionary War record of a Thomas Luckett of Maryland and that of Thomas Clarke of Fairfax County, Virginia, are furnished you herewith.

Very truly yours
