Dear Sir.
I am writing to ask you for the Revolutionary and Colonial Records of Joseph Haynes and Robert Young.
I have the following data-
Joseph Haynes in the month of June 1774 received orders from Colonel Abraham Smith of Augusta Co., Va. to raise as many men as
the short time would admit and March to the Potomac River to protect the inhabitants of that place. He was allowed a Lieutenants pay for this, I have record of him as Captain Haynes in 1776. March 1782 he was paid as a
Surgeon.
in Robert Young I have the following:

Dear Sirs:
Today I received your communication of
May 24th. I appreciate your immediate attention.
After studying the records I have on James
Smith, I do not believe he was in the Revolution.
Samuel Elliott was in the American 1
Revolution in the 11th Virginia Regiment under Captain James Wright. He was born in 1745 in Maryland and died in 1823 in Cumberland County Kentucky. Will you make another search of the records for his claim.
Will you Search your records to see if  Robert Young of Green County Kentucky received a pension or land grant for war service in Revolution?
Look for other Youngs who settled in Green County, Kentucky.
I trust that you will, bear with me in such requests that I make. In
Page 43

my genealogical research work I find that
is easy to impose on some one else.
Thank you very much for your valuable
time

Sir
The papers left here by you are enclosed.  Mrs .Judith Young in order to establish her claim, must make a declaration according to the prescribed form, in open Court, in the County
in which she resides. If prevented from going to
Court, by reason of old age or bodily infirmity.
the fact must clearly appear by satisfactory proof on that point. She must prove that she is the widow of Robert Young, who was a Lieutenant in the Virginia Line of the continental Army, and it is indispensably necessary that she should prove that she was married at a particular period. As I do not know when she was married, I cannot determine
under what law she should claim a pension. The
laws and regulations, however, are herewith enclosed for your guidance. A very particular examination of them will be necessary in order property to prepare the claim for adjudication at this office. The papers which I now return to you must be sent back to this office; and you must also send back
