Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Abner Young, Marshall Young and Samuel Young, all of Culpeper County, Virginia.
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 services of either Abner or Marshall Young.
You are furnished herewith the Revolutionary War records of two soldiers named Samuel Young, both of whom were of Culpeper County, Virginia.
Samuel Young-S.38482
The record furnished below were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, S. 38482, based upon the Revolutionary War service of Samuel Young.
He enlisted in Fredericksburg, Virginia, August 6, 1777 and served in Captain John F. Mercer's company in Colonels William Heth's and John Neville's Virginia regiments; he was in the battles of Monmouth and Charleston, in the latter battle he was wounded by the accidental explosion of a magazine, and served until in the summer of 1781.
Samuel Young was allowed pension on his appli-

cation executed May 21, 1818, then aged sixty-four years and a resident of Culpeper County, Virginia.
His wife, Eleanor, was referred to in 1822, there are no further data relative to her, and no reference to their children.
Samuel Young-W. 5196
The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 5196, based upon the Revolutionary War service of Samuel Young.
He enlisted in the state of Virginia in March, 1780 and served as a private in Captain Kirkpatrick's company, Colonel Christian Febiger's Virginia regiment, and served until in September, 1781.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 19, 1831, then aged about seventy-seven years and living in Culpeper County, Virginia.
He died February 22 or 25, 1835.
Samuel Young married Frances Burgess, a widow, her maiden name is not shown. The marriage license was dated June 28, 1818 in Culpeper County, Virginia.
The widow, Frances, was allowed pension on account of the services of Samuel Young, her husband, on her application executed April 15, 1853, then aged seventy years and living in Culpeper County, Virginia.
She died March 1, 1855.

Conway Spilman aged 65 years, and Jesse Boones aged 87 years, who, being first sworn according to law, say that they were personally well acquainted with Samuel Young of the said county, who was a Revolutionary pensioner and is now dead, and with his wife Frances Young, who was Frances Burges, and who is now applying for a pension under the act of Congress passed Feb'y 3. 1853, — That they did not witness the marriage ceremony between said Samuel Young and Frances Burges, but they very distinctly remember that such marriage was reputed to have occur- -red, and they never heard the fact questioned by any person
They well know said parties lived together for many years, down to the time at which said Young died, and enjoyed the confidence and respect of all the community in which they lived, and were always fully recognized as lawfully man and wife.

Sir,
A claim has been made at the Agency here, on behalf of the widow of Samuel Young 2 d a private in the Army of the Revolution, and a pensioner under the act of the 18 March 1818, at $8.- per month, for arrears of pension due to him at the time of his death, which happened on or about the 21. Feby last. On looking at the Pension Certificate I observed an endorsement on it, of the kind mentioned in some of your late letters. Altho' the vouchers appeared to be in due form, yet as this Certificate only bears date about three years ago, and being the first I have seen with the endorsement referred to upon it, I think it best, before I pay the arrears, to submit the certificate to your inspection. I therefore send it herewith.
J. L. Edwards, Esq.
Very respectfully, Your obed. serv. J. Robertson Barr.

On this 1 st day of November in the year 1853, before the subscriber, a Justice of the peace in and for said County, personally appeared George Suddeth aged 46 years, and Thomas J. Suddeth, aged 55 years, both men of unquestionable veracity, and entitled to the fullest credit in whatever they say, who, being first duly sworn, say that they knew the late Samuel Young of Culpeper who was a Revolutionary pensioner, for many years prior to his death, and were very near neighbors to him when he died, and attended his funeral and burial. — That they cannot recur to the exact day of the month on which he died, but are very confident it was in the latter part of February or the 1 st of March of the year 1835. — The said Thomas J. Suddeth remembers distinctly that it occurred in the latter part of February 1835. The said affiants concur in repeating that they are enabled by various circumstances to remember distinctly that said Samuel Young died in the year 1835.
They further say that Frances Young, who is now applying for a pension as the widow of said Samuel Young, has continued his widow from his death to the present time, and is very infirm, and in their opinion, richly enti-

the to public beneficence -
