Dear Sirs:
.
I am trying to find as much as possible of the Revolutionary War record of one Jacob Casey, a private in the Virginia Continental Line. He received a pension in Franklin County, Ohio, in 1819. He applied for a continuance of pension in Franklin County, Ohio, July 3, 1822, and filed another application in 1832.
I have no knowledge of his birthplace of date, or of the place of his enlistment.
Thank you for your kindness.
Sincerely,
Rosalie Haddox
