BA-J/MLB
Mrs. A. W. Bohannan
Surry, Virginia
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter of September 21, in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Llewellyn, Cadwallader, Wood and Robert Jones, all of Virginia.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land made to the United States based upon the Revolutionary War service of soldiers in that war.
A careful search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the service of a Robert Jones as described; or of any Wood Jones.
The records of Cadwallader Jones and Lewellin Jones (the spelling of the name under which he signed) follow as found in claims for pension based upon their service in the Revolutionary War.
Cadwallader Jones S. 1543
Cadwallader, Cadwalender or Cadwallender (the various spellings of the name appeared in the claim but soldier was pensioned under the first spelling) Jones was born in 1745 in Lunenburg County, Virginia; the names of his parents are not stated.
While residing in Charlotte County, Virginia, he enlisted sometime in the summer of 1778 and served two months as private in Captain Joseph Brent's Virginia company; he later enlisted and served as private in Captain McGoode's company, Colonel Hubbard's Virginia regiment, was in the battle of Stono, after which he was discharged, length of this tour six months; he volunteered and served three months as private in Captain

Thomas Jones' South Carolina company (his relationship to soldier not shown), was in the battle of Savannah, after which he was discharged and returned to his home in Charlotte County, Virginia.
After the Revolutionary War the soldier lived for several years in said Charlotte County, Virginia, then moved to Rutherford County, Tennessee, where he lived three or four years, thence to Wilson County, Tennessee.
Cadwallader Jones was allowed pension on his application executed December 27, 1832, while a resident of Wilson County, Tennessee. On September 25, 1833, while still living there, he stated that he was eighty-eight years and twelve days old.
He died July 25, 1834.
No reference was made in the claim to wife or children.
The soldier referred to Richard Jones as one of his neighbors in Wilson County, Tennessee, in 1832, but did not state his relationship.
*****
Lewellin Jones W. 7906
The data contained herein were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 7906, based upon the Revolutionary War service of Lewellen or Lewellin Jones (both spellings of name appear in the claim but soldier signed Lewellin).
The date and place of this soldier's birth and names of his parents are not shown.
He enlisted in June, 1779, at Charlotte County Court House, Virginia, served as private in Captain Taliaferro's company, Colonel Richard Parker's Virginia regiment, and afterward in Captain Bowyer's company, Colonels Heth's and Abraham Buford's Virginia regiments, was engaged in many battles, the only one designated being the one of Buford's defeat; he served in all eighteen months.
He was allowed pension on his application executed November 4, 1818, at which time he was aged fifty-eight years and a resident of Campbell County, Virginia.

The soldier died October 30, 1821, in Campbell County, Virginia.
Lewellin or Lewellen Jones married February 26, 1789, Catharine Vernon; their marriage was recorded in the County Clerk's Office of Charlotte County, Virginia.

Fanny D. Hinton, Head of Reference Dept., Carnegie Library, Atlanta, Georgia.
Madam;
In response to your letter of the 13th instant, you are advised that this Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made on account of his services, and a careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on account of the services of Llewellyn Jones, who was Captain Va. Regiment Dragoons June 17, 1776; Captain 1st Continental Dragoons March 31, 1777 and in service December 1778.
The history of Lewellen Jones W. 7906, furnished you on March 9, 1923, is the only Lewellen Jones found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
Respectfully,
Commissioner.
