Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the record of Benjamin Sadler of Virginia, who was a pensioner of Sumner County, Tennessee.
The data given herein were found in pension claim, S. 39060, based upon service, and disability incurred in service in the Revolutionary War.
Benjamin Sadler enlisted in Virginia, in 1776, served as a private in Captain Samuel Woodson's company, Colonel George Mathews' 9 th Virginia regiment and was discharged at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, having served two years and six months.
Benjamin Sadler was allowed pension from January 1, 1803, under the Act of April 25, 1808, on account of disability incurred in service during the Revolutionary War. The nature of the wounds or injuries are not shown.
The statements made by this soldier in this application for pension are not on file, because of the destruction of papers when the British burned the public buildings in 1814.

While a resident of that county, he applied February 22, 1822, for pension on account of his service in the Revolutionary War as stated above.
