Gentlemen: —
2 John's sisters I am interested in ob- taining the Revolutionary War records of two men named Younglove who served in that war with the American Army. One was John, of the other I am no sure. However, since there is very likely

to be but one or two such men who received pensions will you need use the records of John, and the names, if there are more than two or three Younglows who received pensions, of the remaining.
Also is there any record of a Rev. War record of one Sampson Booley who served from Mass.,

in the American Army?
Thank you
Very truly yours
Harold H. Porter, Jr.
