Com. of Pensions Washington D.C.
Sir: Will you please see if the record can be found for a Christopher C. Carlton from King & Queen Co Va. that was supposed to have been with Anthony Hart. that served in 7 th Va. Regiment also of King & Queen Co Va. during the Revolution of 1776. The War Dept. wrote me to

2 try your Dept., that the records are far from complete. This Christopher Charles or Charles Christopher was said to have been with his friend Anthony Hart in the Revolution - This information was given me by a scrap of old letter from one member of the Carlton family to one of the Harts. The Hart records traced from that informa- -tion, but so far I have not been able to find any record of this Christopher C. Carlton Sr.

for there was a Christopher Carlton Dr that served in war  also 1812 - I was in Capt. William Leigh's Co. 2 nd Corps D' Elite. Commanded by Col Moses Green - so I would like to have the record as to whether he was married & etc.  Was there any person given to him Is there any record of a Farrall William + in the war of 1776 or 1812 - only as there was a Farrall Sr + Jr. Thanking you very kindly Respectfully Mrs D. J. Dipe News Ferry Va -
