Mrs. Louise Campbell Miller 120 South Poplar Street Lamont, Mississippi
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter of recent date, in which you requested the Revolutionary War record of James Campbell (1730-1813) who married Phanuel Reynolds, daughter of John Reynolds whose record you request, also, both soldiers having lived in Peters Township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania.
A careful search of the Revolutionary War records of this office has been made and no claim for pension or bounty land found based upon service of either James Campbell or John Reynolds, identical with your description, however, records have been found for soldiers of those names who served from Pennsylvania, and they are furnished you, herewith, hoping they may prove of interest to you in your research.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLIER Executive Assistant to the Administrator
