Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for the Revolutionary War record of Sanford Carder.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, W. 9377, based upon the military service of Sanford Carder.
He was born September 16, 1760, in Culpeper County, Virginia.
While a resident of Hampshire County, Virginia, he enlisted in September, 1780, and served nearly six months as private in Captain Daniel Richerson's Virginia Company. He enlisted in April, 1781, and served eighteen months in Captain Gunn's Company in Colonel Anthony White's Regiment of Continental Dragoons and was in a battle with the Indians near Savannah.
In 1794 he moved from Hampshire County, Virginia, to Bourbon County, Kentucky, and in 1800 he moved to Union Township, Fayette County, Ohio.
He was allowed pension on his application executed October 4, 1832, at which time he was living in Union Township, Fayette County, Ohio.
He died in that county on August 7, 1845.
This soldier married December 19, 1827, in Fayette County, Ohio, Sarah or Sally David who was born in March, 1784.
X

As the widow of Sanford Carder, said Sarah was allowed pension on her application executed February 26, 1856, while living in Fayette County, Ohio.
In 1856 one Peter Carder was living in Fayette County, Ohio, but it was not stated that he was related to the soldier.

Sir:
Sanford Carder, Revolutionary Soldier, born in Culpeper County, Virginia, about 1762, removed to Hampshire County, Virginia, where he was drafted April 11, 1781, under Col. Gray, serving more than one year.
Did Sanford Carder, apply for or receive a pension, or land grant because of his service?
Have you any record showing the full name of his wife, and date of her death?
Have you any record of the date and place of his (Sanford Carder's) death?
I am under the impression that he died in Fayette County, Ohio, and that his wife was the daughter of Conrad Hoffman, of Fayette County, Ohio, but who owned land in Hampshire County, Virginia.
I should appreciate receiving all possible data.
I am preparing a genealogical history of my family and this is the only purpose for which I desire to use these data.

Gentlemen:-
Would be most grateful to have a copy of the service of my great-great grandfather who served in Va. and died in Ohio.
His name was Sanford Carder b. ab.1757 A. 79377 Pensioned for service in Va.
Also if your records show a pension having been given for the service of great grandfather
Francis Eviston who died in Ohio, born in Ireland for either 1812 or Revolutionary War, please see that I am given it too. My mother says her grandfather Francis Eviston served in the Revolution, but she may be confused with 1812, and further says he was wounded in the heel which left him a cripple thereafter. This makes it appear that he may have been pensioned.
Thanking you for an early reply, as I am making application for membership in the Sons of the American Revolution Society and am sure that Sanford Carder will qualify anyway. Please give me all data shown, and accept my heartfelt thanks.
