Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter relative to Robert Tucker, a soldier of the Revolutionary War.
The data contained herein are obtained from the papers on file in the Revolutionary War claim for pension, S. 42047, based upon his military service in that war.
While a resident of Amelia County, Virginia, Robert Tucker, enlisted in February 1779, served in Captains Samuel Booker's and Taliaferro's Companies, Colonels Parker and Hopkins' Virginia Regiment; was in the siege of Savannah and also in the siege of Charleston, South Carolina, where he was taken prisoner, after fourteen months he was exchanged and was discharged in the latter part of the summer of 1781.
He applied for pension July 20, 1827 while a resident of Lincoln County, North Carolina, where he had lived for nearly twenty-seven years, aged sixty-five years. His claim was allowed.
In 1827 his wife was about fifty-eight years old, one daughter "upwards of thirty" and two step daughters "of age", no names stated. There are no further family data.
This is the record of the only Robert Tucker that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this office.
Said records fail to show that a pension was ever claimed on account of the services of Mark Crowder.
Very truly yours

You will find enclosed a letter which I have just received from the War Department. Brigadier General Frank C. Burnett referred me to you, as you will see in the second paragraph.
The only information concerning these two men that I have been able to find is; "Mark Crowder was born about the year 1747 and married Ann Barlow in 1767. Robert Tucker married Mary Green, and he was born about the year 1745. Both families are thought to have lived in or near Amelia County, Virginia."
