Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter relative to
soldiers of the Revolutionary War, Randolph Moore and John Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War data and the limited trained clerical force available for furnishing such information, it is impossible to comply in full with each request pertaining to soldiers of that war.
The data contained herein were obtained from the papers on file in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W.82, based upon the military service in that war of Randolph Moore.

Randolph Moore, the name also appears as Moor, was born January 10, 1758, in Edgecombe County, North Carolina. The
names of his parents are not shown. While residing in Johnson County, North Carolina, Randolph Moore volunteered late in the winter, year not given, served twenty-five days in Captain Hookham Bryant's Company, Colonel Richard Caswell's North Carolina Regiment and was in the battle of Moore's Crest. He enlisted in 1780, and served five months and nine days in Captain Phillip Thomas' Company, Colonel Brown, North Carolina Regiment. Sometime after this, date not given, he served three months, as a substitute for his younger brother,
whose name is not shown, in Captain Joseph Soussionary Colonel Thomas' North Carolina Regiment. He enlisted in 1781, and served three months in Captain Jonathan Hunt's
Colonel Linton and Richard Dobbs Pate's North Carolina Regimant. All of the above services was rendered as a private. After the Revolution, he continued to live in Johnson County, North Carolina, until the year 1812, then moved to
Wake County, North Carolina, and then to Bedford County, Tennessee. Pension was allowed on his application executed August 14.

1832, at which time he was a resident of Bedford County, Tennessee. Randolph Moore died July 7, 1833, in Bedford County, Tennessee. 
The soldier married June 12, 1783, in Johnson County, North Carolina, Elizabeth Stansill. She was born July 9, 1766, in Dobbs County, North Carolina, her parents, whose names are
not shown, later moving to Johnson County, North Carolina. She was allowed pension on her application executed November 2, 1840, while residing in Bedford County, Tennessee.
No reference was made to any children.
This is the record of the only soldier named Randolph Moore that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this office.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the name of person paid and possibly the death date of widow, you should apply to the Comptroller General, General Accounting
Office, Records Division, Washington, D. C., and cite the following data:

Dear Sir:-

By the suggestion of Myra Hazard State Regent N. S. D. A. R. I'm addressing this letter to you and will appreciate the favor if you will give me the Revolutionary record of J. R. or Randolph Moore a native of Virginia. Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Mississippi published by Goodspeed Publishing Co., in 1891 pages 463-464 tell that he was a soldier in the Revolutionary war. If not found in the Virginia list - soldiers he might have enlisted from North Carolina as he also lived in Wake County of that State.
Thanking you for the information
Respectfully
