Director of Pensions, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir:
Henry Bohannon was a soldier in the Revolutionary War from July 6, 1778 - July 1781. I am interested in learning who were his parents and the county in which he lived and his age at the time of enlistment.
The Adjutant General's Office states that the records show a Henry Bohannon served in that war in a Virginia Cavalry organization, also designated at that time as Dragoons and that his name is borne under the following heading:
'A List of Soldiers of the Virginia line on Continental Establishment who have received Certificates for the balance of their full Pay Agreeable to an Act of Assembly passed November Session 1781'
"This record shows that on July 18, 1783 he received for himself a certificate for £ 80-16-3."
Also should the records carry reference to Ambrae Bohannon, Paymaster and Joseph Bohannon, Captain, in the War of the Revolution I should be glad to learn the nature of such reference.
Very truly yours, E.W. Bohannon,
