Since I wrote you the other day asking for the Revolutionary War record of Zackariah Nance, husband of Elizabeth Nance, who drew a pension, I have discovered that she was previously married to Lewis Bingley, also a Revolutionary soldier. I should be glad to have his record, if it is incorporated in the pension papers.
1074325 Lewis Bingley, as I understand, enlisted from James City county, Virginia, and died there in 1799.
531272 Zackariah Nance enlisted either in James City county or Charles City county, Virginia; moved to Green county, Kentucky; thence to Menard county, Illinois (perhaps then a part of Sangamon county, Illinois) where he died in 1835.
The widow Elizabeth Nance died in Menard county, Illinois in 1850.
As I wish this material for a book that is about ready for the publisher, I would appreciate as complete an account as you can send.
Thanking you, I am,
Yours very truly (Miss) Damaris Kiiche
