Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter relative to Henry Long, a soldier of the Revolutionary War.
The data contained herein were obtained from the papers on file in the Revolutionary War claim for pension, S.1849, based upon the military service in that war of Henry Long.
Henry Long was born in Culpeper County, Virginia. The names of his parents are not shown.
While a resident of Culpeper County, Virginia, Henry Long enlisted in the spring or summer of 1781, and served three months as private in Captain Kartley's Company, Colonel Allcot's Virginia Regiment. He then enlisted and served three months as private in Captain Tolls' Company, Colonel Allcot's Virginia Regiment and was in the siege of Yorktown and surrender of Cornwallis.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 25, 1833, at which time he was a resident of Greene County, Tennessee, and aged sixty-nine years. He was born on May 30.
His widow was living in 1838, her name and age not given. No reference was made to children and there are no further family data.

Bureau of Pensions Washington, D.C.
Gentlemen:
From volumes I00 & II0 Daughters of the American Revolution Lineage books is found the following:
"Henry Long (1764-1836), in 1781 substituted in the militia, serving under Capt Kartley, Col. Alcott's Virginia Regiment. In 1833 he applied for a pension. His claim was allowed. He was born in Va.: died in Tennessee."
Please have those papers examined for names of his children living at the time of application. Sometimes among those papers are leaves of Bibles sent as proof of births, deaths and marriages. An irreparable loss to the family when that happens.
We are collecting data to prove our claim that the Henry Long quoted above is the long sought ancestor, —
Are there charges for such service in the Bureau of Pension?
May we hope for an early reply ?
Very truly yours,
Mrs W T Fry
