I would also like to get record of John Ogilvie - from Virginia - a Rev. Soldier
Also the name of Jno. O'Brien - a soldier in 1776 - Nov 6" - from Va
These are all of my ancestral line, am trying to get the data for special family gathering if possible. I will appreciate anything you may be able to send me of these men. Yours Truly Edward Bryant Landis
