Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of John James Trabue, who, you believe, was a pensioner, and that all evidence points to the fact that he was born in 1732, in Kentucky, and served as an ensign in the Revolutionary War and died in 1803.
There is no claim for pension on file based upon the service in the Revolutionary War of a John James Trabue. The record has been found, however, of a John Trabue and a James Trabue, both of whom served in the Virginia troops. In the effort to aid you both records follow as found in the claims for pension and bounty land based upon their service in the Revolutionary War.
