Mr. Robert A. Stewart The Shenandoah Richmond, Virginia
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Lieutenant James Wright, of Virginia, and Captain Samuel Booker, of Amelia County, Virginia.
There is no claim for pension on file based upon service in the Revolution of a Captain Samuel Booker, in which it is shown that he served from Amelia County, Virginia.
The Revolutionary War record has been found of a Samuel Booker, of Amelia County, Virginia, who served as a private, also, the record of a Captain Samuel Booker whose residence is not shown; those two records and that of James Wright, the only person with that name who served as an officer that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office, are furnished you herewith.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator
