You are furnished herewith the Revolutionary War records of John Sager, and Samuel Stout. These are the records of the only John Sager (Sagers), and Samuel Stout found on the Revolutionary War pension records of this office.

Dear Sir,
With a view to becoming a member of the society of the "Daughters of the American Revolution" I am tracing my ancestry. Have every reason to suppose that some of my ancestors served in War of the Revolution, as on every side of family, they landed in this country in 1600 or early in 1700.
Some of them were pensioned and some had land granted for services.

I want to learn if there is a record of this and how I am to learn anything from it.
My ancestors names who lived at time of war and from whom I am lineally descended were, Benjamin Stout , Samuel Stout and a Van Dyke of New Jersey. — Tagget and McTagget of Pennsylvania — Gelson Whaley and Smith of Virginia. also, a Love who might have served in North Western Territory.
If you can give me any information in regard to this or with whom to correspond you will greatly oblige

Yours Respectfully.
Mrs Mary H. Stout Miller.
