Dear Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 7868, it appears that Ambrose Whitledge, Sr. was born in 1748, near Hampton, Virginia. He stated that his father moved with his family from Virginia to Bertie County, North Carolina, but did not give any names.
While residing in New Hanover County, North Carolina, he enlisted in March 1779, served as a private in Captain Roach's Company, Colonel Jonas Johnston's North Carolina Regiment, and was discharged July 8, 1779.
He enlisted in the latter part of 1780, served as a private in Captain Thomas Lloyd's North Carolina Company and was discharged April 28, 1781.
He was allowed pension on his application executed March 14, 1833 at which time he was a resident of Jones County, North Carolina. He stated that after the Revolution he had lived in New Hanover County, Onslow County and Jones County, North Carolina.

There are no data relative to wife and children.
The above noted is the only soldier named Ambrose Whitledge that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
Very truly yours,
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.

Dear Sir
I am sending back same letter to you and have made inquiry of my older uncles in Kentucky and no one seems to know the names that you require. An aged uncle tells me he knows Grandpa Whittlege was in the Revolution as his mother had tin type pictures of him and that his file was in the family for years and is now in Frankfort Ky. Old Capital Bldg Museum with other Revolutionary War Files.
If this information is of no value to you I will thank you for your trouble
Yours Miss Ella Sharpe Rosedale Ind

Dear
Am confident that I am eligible to be a member of D A R and have been told to place my inquiry with you.
Have you a Revolutionary name of Whittlege . Am not sure just how the name is spelled. We have always heard the

stories handed down of Grandfather Whitley's experiences in Revolutionary War. I think perhaps he was listed with Virginia. Here is a tracing of families:
Ella Thorpe { Mary B Hawks. Richard P Thorpe { Eulalia Brown Clark { - Brown { Whitley { see Thorpe { Billy Brown {
Thanking you I am Yours Resp
