Mrs. Roy J. Loveless 3213 Hawthorne Ft. Worth, Texas
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Charles Buck, a soldier of the War of the Revolution.
The data furnished herein were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, R. 1392, based upon the Revolutionary War service of Charles Buck. This is the record of the only Charles Buck, that is found on file in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
Charles Buck was born February 3, 1758 in Frederick County, Virginia, the names of his parents not given.
He volunteered at Little Levels, Botetourt County, Virginia, in August or September, 1777 and served in Captain Andrew Hamilton's company, Colonel Skillern's (2) regiment, with the Virginia troops; they marched to Point Pleasant at the mouth of the Big Kanawha, and returned home, having been out four months.
After the Revolution he lived on the Little Flats of Greenbrier in Botetourt County, Virginia until about the last of October, 1802, when he moved to Gallia County, Ohio.
Charles Buck applied for pension July 10, 1834, then a resident of Gallia County, Ohio. His claim was

not allowed, as the length of his service was only four months. The pension law under which he applied provided for those soldiers only who had rendered at least six months' service.
There are no data in this claim relative to the family of Charles Buck.
Very truly yours

Dear Sirs:
Order
Nav records of Charles Buck are required for completion of unk and statistics valuable to me - This Charles Buck was born 1750 in the state of Virginia - son of Charles Buck 1st and brother of Thomas and John Buck.
Charles married Mary Richardson in the state of Virginia - Thomas Buck married Ann Richardson - 1774 - Jan 14 - John married Miriam Richardson.
Again Thomas Buck was a captain in the Revolution.

his death was June 4-1842-
These facts are given that you may use them if needed to trace Charles Buck's records - It is probable that Chas Buck 1 st may have fought too. Please send material, if he did.
Any assistance that you may render will be of great worth to me and I shall deeply appreciate an early reply as this is urgent.
I am
