Miss Marian Talmage

Athen, Georgia

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you
request the Revolutionary War record of John 
Fullilove or any Fullilove who served in that war.

Revolutionary War data furnished by this office 
are obtained from claims made to the United 
States for pension and bounty land based upon 
the military service of soldiers in that war.

A search of the records fails to show such claims
on file on account of the Revolutionary War services
of any soldier, with surname Fullilove, except, 
Anthony Fullilove. His record is furnished herein 
as found in pension claim, S. 31045, based upon
his service in that war.

Anthony Fullilove was born November 20, 1760 in
King William County, Virginia, and moved when quite 
young to Lunenburg County, Virginia. The names of 
his parents are not given, his father was living in 
Lunenburg County, during the Revolution and served 
also in that war.

 While residing in Lunenburg County, Anthony Fullilove 
enlisted and served as a private in the Virginia militia as 
follows:

In  the spring of 1780, three months in Captain Joseph 
Billups' company, Colonel David Stokes' regiment; early in 
1781, as substitute for his brother, William Fullilove, 
three months in Captain Francis

Page 15

De Graffenridge's company; from August, 1781,
three months in Captain Thomas Jones' company 
and was in the siege of Yorktown.

The soldier, Anthony Fullilove, was allowed
pension on his application executed April 1, 1833,
then  a resident of Madison County, Kentucky, 
having lived there about thirty years. He died 
February 19, 1835.

There is no reference to wife or children.

Nancy Davis, sister of the soldier, was sixty-five
years of age in 1833 and living in Madison County, 
Kentucky.

Very truly yours

Mrs. Guy P Vance
Park Ridge, Illinois.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request
to know the reason why Anthony Fullilove served as 
substitute in the Revolutionary War for his brother, 
William. 

The papers in the Revolutionary War claim for pension
S.31045, based upon service of Anthony Fullilove in that
war have been examined. Anthony Fullilove stated only 
that his brother, William, had been drafted and he went 
as his substitute and rendered service of three months; 
he did not state why his brother, William, did not serve 
that tour, nor is it shown in the papers that said William 
rendered any service whatever in the Revolutionary War.

Nancy Davis, sister of Anthony Fullilove, stated in 1833
in Madison county, Kentucky that she distinctly remembered
the two last tours which Anthony served, of his going out and
returning, that she did not recollect very well his first tour of
service but her impression was that he had been out once 
before his last two tours and that her father with whom she was
living at that time in Lunenburg County, Virginia "was out about
the same time". She gave no further information in regard to 
the service of her father, nor did she give the names of her 
parents.

It is suggested that information in regard to the military service 
of the persons named above might be obtained from The Adjutant 
General, War Department, this city. If William Fullilove served
on some other tour his record might be obtained from that 
source, also.

Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER
Executive Assistant 
to the Administrator.

Dear Sirs-
Will you kindly inform me - if recognition is 
awarded an ancestor for services in American
Revolution - rendered by a brother for him?
My ancestor was William Fullilove and Anthony
Fullilove his brother served three months
for him.

I have the record of Anthony's services both 
by himself and his brother and the date on
which his pension began -

I should like to record this service if possible 
for Wm. Fullilove (with a D.A.R. supplemental-
if you tell me it would be possible.  I do not know
why Anthony served for the brother William-
unless it was an older brother feeling the younger
too young for war - or he may have been in some 
way incapacitated.

Will be grateful if you will advise me - 
Very truly yours

Since writing you regarding one Anthony Fullenlove
who fought in Rev. War and whom I have many reasons 
to believe was one of my fathers ancestors I find others 
that which might help me to join the D.A.R. namely-
given my fathers mother was Nancy Givens of which 
you will notice on chart. Thought perhaps this would 
simplyfy for you (Chart)

Thank you so much for any courtesy you may extend.

Can verify all the data I have given & also know there 
is a record on file concerning Anthony Fullilove's having 
fought & receiving a pension &c - but the connecting 
[illegible] has not yet been found to a certainty.

If you have any record one Anthony Fullenlove

from Virginia - He also served a short term later 
for his brother William and later in life received 
a pension - I feel there is every indicator that
