Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request infor-
mation in regard to Joh, Samuel, Richard and William Dixon Dedman, and John or John Wren Timberlake, all of Virginia, Soldiers of the Revolutionary War.

A careful search of the Revolutionary War records has been made and no record found of claims for pension having been made to the United States based upon the military service in that war of John, Richard or William Dixon Dedman or Deadman.  Such claims are the source of the data furnished by this office.

It is suggested that as a possible means of obtaining informa-
tion in regard to the military service of those soldiers, you apply to The Adjutuant General, War Department, this city, who is custodian of military records.

The records of Samuel Dedman or Deadman or John Timberlake have been found and are furnished herewith.

Very truly yours
