Dear Sir:
Will you please send me a copy of the records which you have in your office pertaining to the services of my great-great grandfather, William Marshall, who was a member of the Pennsylvania Line during the War of the Revolution, and a mem of or two regiments, I am not sure whether one of them was the 4th or 7th: he also participated in the Sandusky Expedition, which was in command of Colonel Crawford.
He resided in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, after the war, some time in West Newton, and some time on a farm near that place. He died, I am told, between 1826 and 1835.
Thanking you for the kindness, I am,
Very truly yours,

Gentlemen:
I am trying to find Revolutionary War Service for Richard Marot Booker, born probably about 1749-50, of Halifax County, Virginia (married there in 1770 to Elizabeth Palmer,) and who died in Henry County, Kentucky, on Nov. 20, 1797. He was the son of Richard Booker, of Amelia County, Virginia
Also want to find Revolutionary War Service for Reverend William Marshall, born Fauquier Co., Va. in 1735, died Henry Co., Kentucky (Eminence) in 1808, married 1766 in Virginia to Mary Ann Pickett. In KENTUCKY LAND GRANTS, by W. R. Jillson I find that men to the names of Richard Booker and William Marshall both received large grants of land for military service, and I believe that both of these men must have served, but I cannot/the particular men with such service as I have found.  connect
I found that there was a Capt. Richard Booker in Regt. of Artillery under command of Col. Thomas Marshall, page 1265 of Soldiers of Va. in 1776. On page 1253 I find Wm. Marshall private, entitled to 200 acres of land from Va. and 100 acres from the U.S., 1st partisan legion commanded by Brig. Gen. Armand Marquis de la Roucrie, discharged 11/15/1783.
Page 17

This information is desired for Mrs. E. E. Hagler, whose ancestors were Richard Marot Booker and Rev. William Marshall, of Virginia and later of Kentucky.
The War Department have not identified service for these two men, although there were lots of men by them of William Marshall, and some by the name of Richard Booker, but not Rev. Wm. Marshall and Richard Marot Booker.
Thanking you in advance for any information you may be able to furnish, I am,
