On this 16 th day of April 1832 personally appeared before me a Justice of the peace for said County. Richard Vernon, resident in said County, aged 86 years, who being first duly sworn according to law. Says, that he enlisted for the term of three years, on the 12 day of November in the year 1776 in the State of Virginia, in the company commanded by Capt. [blank] and was attached to the 1 st Regiment commanded by Col Lewis. After the first campaign terminated Col Lewis resigned, and Col. Davis was appointed to the command of said Regiment.
The following are the reasons why I have not earlier made a application for a pension. I did not know that such a law existed until many years after its passage, and when informed of it, was ignorant of its requirements in order to establish my claim. Having no relations in this part of the country qualified to aid me, and unable from bodily infirmity to do it myself, and also my pecuniary means being increased. Having lost by death a Negro Man Slave about two years since. I have not sold or gave any property to any of my children or other person since the passage of the law of the 18 th March 1818 neither have I bought any

Dear Sir:-
If there is among your records a pension granted to one Richard  38451 only Va.  Vernon of Virginia I should appreciate a copy of it. I should like also a copy of the pension granted to the father of Benjamin Irwin whose name was either Richard or John, I am not sure which, but thought perhaps the record might mention a son Benjamin and thus furnish the clue. Benjamin Irwin was a Rev. soldier.

RICHARD VERNON S. 38451 BA-J/MLB
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter of September 15, in which you request the Revolutionary War record of a Richard Vernon, of Culpeper County, Virginia, who died probably in Madison County, also, the record of a soldier of the same name whose wife was Martha Tinsley Vernon.
The record of Richard Vernon (S. 38451) furnished you March 25, 1937, was that of the only soldier of the name of Virginia found in the Revolutionary War records of this office. It is not shown in his claim that he ever resided in Culpeper or Madison County, Virginia. You are furnished herewith the record of the only other soldier named Richard Vernon found in the Revolutionary War records of this office. That soldier served from North Carolina and was pensioned while living in Tennessee. The name of his wife was not stated in the claim.
