Gentlemen:-
If permissible, I would like to secure information (if ay) in your office regarding relatives who served in the War of the Revolution.
Object of my request is that I am printing some 200 copies of old family historical data for distribution among the descendants of Michael Weaver, and am trying to cover the field thoroughly for reliable data.
Data concerning MICHAEL WEAVER, who lived in Rush township, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania until his death in 1821, and who served in the Pennsylvania militia during the Revolutionary  War.
Also his son, Philip Weaver, who emigrated to Wayne Twp, Butler County, Ohio where he resided until his death in 1835. Old family letters state that he received a pension form the government, until his death.
I especially desire to secure any information regarding the service record of the two mentioned in the Revolutionary War as this phase of their life is especially interesting to me after my service in three battle of the World War.

Very truly yours,
Ralph B. Weaver [signature]
