Dear Sir: 

It will be appreciated if you will kindly furnish me with the military record of one Barrack Bryant who rendered service in the Revolutionary War as Private and drew a pension for such service. He was from Henry County, Kentucky. If his wife's maiden name is given in your records, I would appreciate your giving it me as I am trying to establish my right to become a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and I am in need, also, of that data. Thanking you for an early reply, I am,
