BA-J/MCS Cam William Taylor, S.38422
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for the names of the children of Revolutionary War soldiers, William Taylor and James and William Kendall.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land made to the United States and based on the military service of soldiers in this war. A careful search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the service of a William Kendall who lived in Pennsylvania during the Revolution, or on account of the service of any James Kendall.
The papers on file in pension claim, S.38422, based on the Revolutionary War service of William Taylor show that this soldier enlisted in Accomac County, Virginia, and was living in that county when he applied for pension on October 20, 1818, at which time he was sixty years of age.
In 1820 he stated that his wife (name not given) was about forty years of age and he referred to his daughters, Lovey aged about eighteen years, Sarah aged about twelve years and Julia Ann aged eight years. There are no further data given relative to the family of this soldier.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator
