Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
The records of the Adjutant General's Office, at Washington, show that:
One Elias Toland served in the Revolutionary War as a private, corporal and sergeant in Capt. Charles Porterfield's Company of the 11th Virginia Regiment, commanded by Col. Daniel Morgan. He enlisted January 21, 1777, for three years. On the roll for June, 1777, he is borne with remark "With the Rifle Detachment." He is borne as a sergeant on the rolls of Capt. Gabriel Long's Detached Company of Riflemen in Col. Daniel Morgan's Rifle Regiment of Continental Troops from July, 1777 to September, 1779, which is apparently the latest roll of that organization on file in this office. His name is borne on the roll of Capt. Philip Slaughter's Company, 7 Virginia Regiment, commanded by Col. Daniel Morgan, for November, 1779, dated at Camp near Morristown, December 7, 1779. No later record of him has been found. The records do not show the place or the county in Virginia from which he enlisted.
We would like to know the place or county in Virginia from which Elias Toland enlisted, whether he made claim for pension and the names of his widow and children to whom a pension was paid, if any. We thought that you might possible be able to give us this information from your records.
Thanking you in advance for any information you can give us on this subject, we beg to remain,
Yours very truly, Kelsey & Ludwig,
