In view of want of Personal Knowledge I am compelled to ask your attention as a stranger to the matters herein explained. I am informed by an acquaintance in this County that he is about receiving some Considerations from Government as the son of an Officer of the War of the Revolution and that there are many others who will receive a like Consideration but he does not know the nature or extent of the act by which it is received. My Mother Mary Lloyd is a native of Charleston South Carolina her Father William Trusler was at the commencement of the War a wealthy Citizen of Charleston and expended most of his Wealth in the Cause and entered in the Service of the Country. he was killed by the British at the 5 Mile House near Charleston before the termination of the War and left my Mother an Orphan greatly reduced in Circumstances. she is still living and now resident of this County having removed from Charleston S.C in the year

1823 a Widow with five Children although not absolutely destitute her circumstances are such that if any appropriation have been made or will be made by Congress to meet such cases it it would be important to her in her application for a verification of these facts I would refer you to the public documents of the State to a work recently published entitled "Reminiscence of the Revolutionary War as they occurred in South Carolina" by Mrs Wells widow of the late Daniel Wells of Charleston S.C who perhaps you know personally hoping to hear from you I remain Most respectfully your Obedient Servant

Gentlemen,
I would appreciate having any military or family records which might be filed in your office pertaining to Soldier, Daniel Webb.
Southern Berkshire Co., Mass. records show that he and Miranda Bishop filed an marriage agreement in 1840 and gives their marriage date as Apr 30 1840.
That he was an old man at that time is indicated in the above agreement where "Daniel Webb and his family" are mentioned. The marriage record calls him "Daniel Webb, a Revolutionary Soldier" but he may have served in war of 1812.
Thanking you for past favors,
I remain yours truly
Robert R Phillips
