For the month of March last the Puffian agent promised to write for the restoration of the claim of Isham Seely, claim but I suppose he forgot it & I now find the papers on hand - This case has been bandied about by the agent of Seely who insisted the Certificate was in my hands until it was found at home & I hope the poor man will be restored on the list here
The certificate of McGuire was sent to me of Hopkinton some time ago by Dr Tigardson, in hopes the person claiming under it resided here - I can hear nothing of McGuire I suppose the Certificate should be returned Respectfully yours Jos H. Allen

Dear Sirs:
In answer to my inquiry re: the Revolutionary War Records of James M c Guire who we believe enlisted from Anderson Co., Kentucky and was slightly injured in the Battle of Shiloh where the Adolphus Regiment of the War Dept. at Wash ington instructed me to write you for further details if any. And also any information regarding births marriages and deaths of either him or his wife or family which you may be able to furnish will be greatly appreciated by me. I shall quote a paragraph from his letter to me for your information and for assistance to you in tracing to see if this be the

see whose record I am trying to obtain as follows: The records also show that one James M. Turner Smith was that was as a private in Col. Capt. Gabriel Jones Company of Attached Riflemen formerly com- manded by Col. Daniel Morgan Continental Troops. He enlisted Feb 3, 1777 for 3 years was transferred to Capt. Thomas Hills Company 3rd Virginia Regiment also known as 3rd & 11th Virginia Regiment commanded by Col. William Russell about Oct 1777 was transferred to Col. John Stead's Company in a detachment of the 3rd Virginia Regiment commanded by Col. Christian Febiger about Jan 1780 and his name last appears on the Company pay roll cov- ering the period from Dec. 1779 to March 1780. It is possible that all of the above service was performed by one and the

same man. It is deemed proper to remark that during the Revolutionary War, Virginia embraced the territory now known as Kentucky.
Thanking you in advance for any information whatsoever you may offer to comply with our family record for sufficient data to en- able me eventually to unite with the S.A.G.
