BA-J/ILL Richard Wimbrough S. 9529
Dear Madam:
The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, S. 9529, based upon service of Richard Wimbrough in the Revolutionary War.
Richard Wimbrough was born in the year 1762, in Accomac County, Virginia, and resided there during the Revolutionary War; the names of his parents and the day of his birth are not shown.
He entered service sometime in the summer of 1778, as private in Captain Richard Justice's company, Colonel Southy Simpson's Virginia regiment, served also under Colonel George Corbin in the Virginia troops, and was engaged principally in guarding at "the Blockhouse" and other places during the war; he did not give the specific dates of enlistment and discharge from service but the entire service amounted to "upwards of two years".
Richard Wimbrough applied August 28, 1832 for the pension which was due on account of his service in the Revolutionary War, at which time he resided in Accomac County, Virginia. The soldier died June 25, 1845. The pension which was due at the time of his death was allowed his only surviving children, Mary and Rachel Wimbrough, in 1851.
The date and place of marriage of Richard Wimbrough was not given nor the name of his wife; the two daughters, Mary and Rachel, are the only children referred to in this claim.
In order to obtain the date of the last payment of pension, and the names and addresses of the persons to whom it was paid, you should

apply to the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, this city, and furnish the following data:
