Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter relative to Hugh Wallace, a soldier of the Revolutionary War.
The records of this office show that Hugh Wallace while a resident of Lunenburg County, Virginia, enlisted February 14, 1776, for two years, served as sergeant in Captain James Johnson's Company, Colonel Mordecai Buckner's Sixth Virginia Regiment, was in the battle on the Raritan River near Brunswick, New Jersey, and discharged December 1, 1777 on account of the loss of his right leg and part of his thigh in the service.
On account of disability resulting from the above noted wound he was allowed pension from January 1, 1782. When his pension certificate was issued in 1787, it was stated that he was aged about forty years. He relinquished his invalid pension and was allowed pension, on account of his services in the Revolutionary War, on his application executed September 22, 1818 at which time he stated that he was aged seventy-five years and a resident of Lunenburg County, Virginia, where he had lived over fifty-eight years. The date and place of his birth are not shown and no reference is made to his parents.
In 1819 he was called Hugh Wallace, Sr.
In 1820 soldier's family consisted of his wife, her age not given, and three daughters, aged forty, forty-eight and fifty years, no names are stated. There are no further family data.
This is the record of the only Hugh Wallace, all spellings of the surname searched, that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this office.
