Dear Sir:
Please advise me if there is any record in your records of the Revolutionary War of any member of the DeArmond family having served with the Revolutionary Troops.
Records in my possession show one John DeArmond moving into Knox County, Tennessee, in the year 1787. 1790 census records of Pennsylvania show several members of this family living in Cumberland and Northumberland Counties, Pennsylvania. I also understand another branch of the family is in Missouri. It is most likely that any record of revolutionary service would be found in Pennsylvania or North Carolina troops.
Any information you may be able to furnish me will be greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours,
