For enclosed the application (for a pension under act 7 th July 1838 & 3 March 1843) of Mrs. Amelia Randall of Hardy County Va. widow of Jacob Randall a pensioner as a private & Ensign — the evidence of Col. Jones' Deed shows she was married before the battle was in June 1781.
The clerk of Hardy informs me, his County was created from Hampshire 4 years after the marriage & of course could have no record of the marriage.
A letter of 8 th Aug: of Th. C. Green of Hampshire informing me it appeared on record there, that "Jacob Randall & Milly Toakman married 6 Oct. 1782 by V Power" —
I have requested the clerk to certify the of the fact should be sent to you.

Lieutenant Sylvester Ward. Ensign Jonathan Heth. From Romney we Marched by the most direct Route to Wheeling. On the Ohio River at this Place there was a Fort. and we were ordered out to guard the Fort and protect the Western frontier. to Ward the latter part of this Campaign. we were like to run short of Provision on this occasion a Detachment of four hundred men was sent up to Fort Pitt to procure a supply. This detachment of which I was one was commanded by Lieutenant, Ward. We succeeded in procuring the necessary supplies and returned to Fort with out any Accident; about six miles Niles above Wheeling was Sheppard's Fort. Captain Michael Cressap was stationed with a company; this Fort being weak and the Indians appearing in the neighborhood and killing two of Capt. Cressap's men and one of our Company. Captain Cressap abandoned Sheppard's Fort and marched to Wheeling. When they remained until their term expired, we continued at the Fort until our term expired. When we were discharged having served six months. In the year 1781. I was again called in to service in a Company of Cavalry. commanded by Captain John Daniel Richardson. Lieutenant John Nemick and Jacob Randall. Ensign. This term was for three months.

Our first Undisputed War at Mt. Neals Mill in the County of Hampshire. From this Place we were ordered to March up the South Branch in quest of the Tories. They having become Very Troublesome to the Peaceable Inhabitants of Hampshire & the adjacent Counties in this Service we were kept busily employed to prevent any considerable armament of them and their by prevent their acting in concert. upon our Retraction we came near having a Bloody Time with the Tories near Breaks Mill on the South Fork of the South Branch, at this Time it was supposed there was about 80. of the Tories. Our Company was not quite so strong. The Tories had taken possession of an eminence on the opposite side of the Fork from us and made a considerable Stand. They fired upon us but fortunately none of us was wounded. altho a bullet passed through the brim of the hat of Peter Cutright. and as Affiant was endeavouring to spend the hill in order to get in sight of them, a limb of Dogwood fell from a tree on his horse's neck Evidently cut off by the enemies Bullets. at this time Affiant was ordered by his captain, not to advance in that direction. in some short time the Tories dispersed. and the Company was discharged having served three months. in this Service Affiant was an Ensign. during the whole of this Service.
This Affiant Relinquishes every Claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the Present and he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of the Agency of any state. Subscribed & sworn to the 12 day of

Dear Madam:
I advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim W. 5666 , it appears that Jacob Randall was born in 1759, in Hampshire County, Virginia.
While a resident of that county he enlisted and served with the Virginia troops as follows:
From March 10, 1778 six months as a private in Captain Moses Hutton's Company; from sometime in 1781 three months as ensign in Captain Daniel Richardson's Company.
He was allowed pension on his application executed November 12, 1833, at which time he was a resident of Hardy County, Virginia.
He died December 14, 1840.
The soldier married November 6 or 7, 1782, Amelia or Milly Yoakum, Yoakman or Yorkman, who was born December 4, 1765.
She was allowed pension on her application executed February 15, 1841, at which time she was a resident of Hardy County, Virginia.
Jacob and Amelia Randall had the following children:

   Child, name not given  born  June  17,  1783    Elizabeth  "  October  3,  1784    Catherine  "  October  12,  1786    Ruth  "  October  1,  1788    Margaret  "  September  15,  1790    Rebeckah  "  November  7,  1792    Amelia  "  July  28,  1795    Jemima  "  March  11,  1798    Asenith  "  January  27,  1801    Abel  "  October  1,  1803    Ruth Claypool  "  September  4,  1804    Silas  "  May  10,  1806    Tabitha  "  February  19,  1808    Mary  "  June  3,  1811.   
The records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to pension having been claimed on account of the service of this Jacob Randall in the War of 1812.
The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to the John Randall described by you.
Very truly yours,
