Mrs. Leslie O. Campbell 401 North High Street Georgetown, Ohio
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 issued 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.
In May, 1831 the soldier, Samuel Young, referred to "a female child" aged ten years, as being a member of his family, her name and relationship not given. In October, 1853 Phebe Young was aged thirty-three years and Susan Young was aged sixty-six years; at this time they were both in Culpeper County, Virginia; no relationship to each other or to the family is stated.

Sir
The claim of Samuel Young to a pension on account of Revolutionary service, has been examined. The only objection to the admission of this claim arises from the claimants having omitted to value the 10 acres of land and buildings, reserved to himself and wife during their lives, in the transfer of his property to Woodward, and secured by a deed of trust of concurrent date.
However inconsiderable such interest may be, the regulations require that such valuation should be made. The papers in the case will remain on file.
